I first saw Testament live 16 years ago at Sziget Fesztival, but I cannot recall too much of their performance considering the fact that their show took place right after Slayer destroyed the main stage, when they performed the famous Reign in Blood in full. 16 more years had to pass for me to be...

Ultimate Revelation – An Interview with Sektarism – September 2017 AB
Several months ago, before the release of Sektarism's latest album "La Mort de L'Infidèle" I sent Eklezjas’tik BerZerK an invitation for an interview. Fortunately, he agreed to answer my questions so what you have here is final result: a very interesting discussion about his bands, his projects, Les Apôtres de L'Ignominie, religion, faith etc. A...

Venenum – “Trance of Death” album review – March 2017 AB
6 years after their self debut EP, Venenum are back. This time with a vengeance. One of the most awaited albums of 2017, for me at least, is about to be released tomorrow, the 17th of March, via the mighty Sepulchral Voice Records.

Scáth Na Déithe Interview – February 2017 AB
Quite a long time has passed since the last feature was published in Scrolls of Darmoth. Many events took place, some of them of great importance on a political level (at least for some of my fellow Romanians) and the others which were strictly related to my personal life. Overall, these events prevented me to... Continue Reading →

Rotheads – Unfazed by Death demo 2016 AB
One of the best demos I've listened to lately comes from Romania. Death metal from the grave, with a creepy feeling, that's how I would describe this very interesting and addictive release. The band guilty for this little underground treasure is Rotheads and the demo is titled Unfazed by Death. Released (until now) in a... Continue Reading →
Recitations – The First of the Listeners Demo Review – 2016 AB
Suffocating. This is the first impression after listening to this demo, released on tape earlier this year by the Canadian Ekhidna Records. Everything on this demo is made to choke you, from the atmosphere, to the instruments and music. Not to speak of the cover, which is amazingly scarry, but does not disclose what happens...
