# TREEDITORIAL

Well, TRECHOMA magazine #4 has been taking its time to get released. But believe me, it hasn't been easy doing this. First of all the amount of mail we receive have increased furtherly, second of all we released this SACRIFICIAL CD, and third of all, we have recruited a new man in staff, taking over the spot Kent Bøden left here. I guess you all have noticed it's the ex-editor of VICIOUS mag, Jens Christensen. I think this issue has been progressing even further more, and I'm pretty satisfied with the result. We have decided to put a lot of different material in this issue, and not just stick to the death metal scene as it is getting utterly boring. Actually I can't understand why bands can be satisfied with playing simple death metal that has been played over and over again a thousand times. Of course where is a few that can play it the right way with the right emotion, aggression and eagerness but this particular music style annoys me to god. I’m finding it more & more annoying, why not each band try to find their own brutal style with a beginning and finally an end, with spirit & honesty? I think it shows great respect, not that’s a thing that means anything when we are heading towards a lost repair thingie, but I'm gonna quote Flo Sommer of Ill DISPOSED: "To headbang to satan isn't exactly something I go around bragging about." They threaten everybody than won’t listen to them, actually I remember Fenriz (DARK THRONE) saying to this very magazine a few issues back: "Black metal hasn’t been trendy yet, and I honestly hope the number of black metal bands never exceeds 50. We are not of your kind. No brother ship is allowed. Black metal should have it’s own well re-guarded scene..." Well, guys, then stick to yourself, we never wanted YOU in our scene, we never asked you to mingle!

A pleasant thing though, is that the Danish scene is getting better. We are getting a lot of bands all the time, and some of them are worth checking out, there are even a few trendy death metal bands. I hate trendy bands, here tries to find themselves a style they can call their own. Just check out EIDETIC and MORTOHRUM whom we have interviewed in this issue.

As for the label: So far our products can be obtained through Semaphore (benelux), Plastic Head (UK), House Of Kicks (Swe) and Pingo (Elsewhere). And we have signed a new band, namely GIBRONIMO from Denmark.

...Well, enough bragging from me, I'll stop here just leave the rest up to the TrEcores! If you write them to me, God knows that’s the only way to improve this and become better. We are short of time and need some exposure, want in your demo-tape, single, CD or whatever released, don’t hesitate to revive it in the up-coming issue. Till then, enjoy this issue, buy the SACRIFICIAL CD, support the gigs in your local area and stay insane.

Sincerely  
Morten Nissen

Forever Entangled: A Thrilling Debut from Sacrificial

SACRIFICIAL have lost a guitar player and are continuing as a four-piece. They are also looking for a new label to sign them.

Sacrificial Seeks New Guitarist and Record Label Amid Band Lineup Change

SACRIFICIAL  
"Forever Entangled"  
(Trechoma Productions)

Finally this CD is out. As you probably know, SACRIFICIAL plays innovative and very energetic death metal in a style of their own. On this very strong CD the music is more homogen and less noisy as on their demo. The sound of the CD is nuanced without the music loosing its edge, and all the instruments comes through clearly, NICE! As mentioned above S have their own style, but it sounds as if the guys are inspired by godly RIPPING CORPSE, might want to check this out! All in all a very nice, non trendy piece of death metal that should be interesting to all music lovers. BUY!

Forever Entangled

**BEYOND SERENITY**  
*Behind The Silence*  
(Demo 1992)  

Yet another Danish band, this time not in the death metal vein, but closer to old EIDETIC (Non Conspicuous Warning days) and early METALLICA, which means experimental metal with thrashy influences and a vocal that really doesn't growl, be more or less moans.  

It sounds as if their music still is in the developing stages and that they have a bit of trouble finding their style.  

But out of the 3 tracks, the last one "Convicted To Be Dreaming" is far the best. It's also the only song where Carsten Holm actually varies his voice a bit, and that really fits, instead of just moaning throughout the whole tape. Anyway, if you're into something new, try this. It's $6 everywhere.

**BOMBSQUAD**  
"Mental Frostbites"  
(Demo 1993)

This Danish bomb-squad have released their first demo, and it's not a recorded guide in avoiding bombs, but a tape with a bomb-squad in action. The action is quite good, bringing both doom and aggression out through your speakers, and when the job is done, the bomb-squad returns home singing "Højt på en Grøn en Krage".

The sound is a bit weak, I could use a lot more guitar and a lot more punch, still their thrashy music is kept aggressive while adding some new-breeding ideas into this genre.

CAUSTIC  
"Moments In The Infinite"  
(Shiver Rec.)

CAUSTIC are back with an even more mature sound than on their "Timid Reality" demo. They are playing depressive doom with loads of great leads, accoustic parts and great instrumental passages. One can hear that they finally are getting used to playing this kind of metal and still maintaining an unique sound. Order this.

CHIRO THEIRUM

a band that have been away from the fortune and fame for a while, is CHIRO THEIRUM from Denmark. They had a tremendous demo release back long time ago called "First Chap". Singer Per Poulsen informs you what the band has been doing since then. There was a long period where we were only Simon and I, and at that time things looked quite bad. But then we made some new tracks and some ideas for new tracks with a rhythm machine and a 4-track recorder. It was meant that we should've finished the songs with a drummer we know, but then we bounced into Malle. We found him at a local pub, where we were standing and discussing MEGADETH. Malle would better play some heavy man-music than the OCTAVIA pop that he did. He had just arrived home from London, where he had heard MEGADETH, and he was sure that it was his style.

As the band rehearsed happily with their newfound drummer, they needed a bassman, and styling, their new bassman says - I went home not doing a shit. Then my room-mate asked me why I didn't start playing metal. I resisted that rock thing I was doing at that time. And that thought had actually recurred to me. Then I remembered that CHIRO THIERUM needed a bassist, and I called Simon up, and he agreed to trying me out.

Today much wonder by CHIRO THIERUM is to find on any of the "F.Y.W.F.D." CD's or the All Sorts CD released by Progress Red Labels - we were pretty quiet at that time these CD's were released. It was only Simon and I, Per Poulsen says - And to that I had to convince that we shouldn't do the tracks as they didn't represent the band in an honest way. I wanted us to continue together and create a new thing. Yes we do, we stand here and make some new and better songs.

We call our new style PSYCHO-GROOVE. states the band. - We've quit playing fast, and our new songs swing a lot more than the old ones which actually didn't swing at all. We don't put 15-16 riffs in each song anymore. The Psycho-Groove is the concept. It covers our lyrics, music and "image". But we're heading for the studio now to record a pre-promo tape with 3 tracks to show the groove that we're still around...Now we're here for real. As a continuation of the new tape, we'll record a video. We have some ideas that we'll try out, but if it doesn't work out, we'll skip the idea. But it's cool to have a video to along with the tape and the photo to the labels. Instead of just sending them a tape and a photo that they hardly find any interest in and receive the standard reject, we'll send them the video along to make them more interested in our package.

As any other band with a new tape out, CHIRO THERIUM have plans for their future.

- We're busy planning a small DK-tour with HIDETIC. So far we have Århus, Odense, Ålbor and Esbjerg.

That tour will be pretty interesting as both CHIRO THERIUM and HIDETIC are different from today's main-trend, DEATH METAL. The death metal scene is dying, and I think that the groove will survive. We've been used to play thrash metal in a not even decent period, and we've been more "out" than we are now. I think we're better placed now, and I think the death metal scene is slaughtering itself with all these crappy bands getting signed these days. With these wise words, psycho-groovers CHIRO THERIUM ends our conversation to attend their instruments and rehearse some of their groovy music. And as I've heard their new material live a few times now, I left the room. But believe me, their new songs are worth waiting for.

Denmark Offers you PSYCHO-GROOVE

CHIRO THERIUM  
TBA  
(Demo 1993)  

This band really surprised me. Their previous demos haven't ever appealed that much to me as I found them a bit boring a typical. Back then the band played thrash. Then after a looong break, they finally recorded new material, and they've ended up with what I'd call one of the heaviest demos to emerge from the underground these days.  
Their new style is best described as a mixture between PANTERA and ALICE IN CHAINS adding a little touch of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. Yeah, that sounds heavy, doesn't it?  
This tape is one of my all time faves these days. Balls is the word to describe this music. I can't see why they haven't been signed to a major label yet.

CYANOTIC  
The Chasm Within  
(Demo 1992)  

Death metal from Denmark, this is one of the better debut demos from this country. CYANOTIC plays death/thrash metal with a melodic edge and straight influences from MORBID ANGEL. The vocals are of course some mean motherfucking growls.  

Anyways, there are 3 tracks on this tape, and all of them has a powerful punch that can knock you off the floor. There are a lot of lead parts, and their lead guitarist is pretty good.  

As so many debut demos, this one needs some diversity as each track tends to be a bit boring. CYANOTIC plays each track a tad too long, but that’s a minor problem which can be worked out easily. This is definitely worth a check. So mail these guys $6 immediately. CYANOTIC / H.C. Andersen'svej 42. 2. TH / 4700 Naestved / Denmark.

**DECRIAL**  
*Desires Unfold*  
(Demo 1993)

Finally a debut demo that's worth listening to! DECRIAL hails from the Ribe area in Denmark, and when they recorded this demo they were a 5 piece.  
This cool demo contains 5 tracks, one of them being an acoustic outro reminding me of a acoustic piece of SEPULTURA's "B.T.R." LP. The 4 "real" songs are more in the vein of ENTOMBED (Left Hand Path) and FEAR FACTORY.  
But DECRIAL also have some ideas of their own. As musicians DECRIAL are surprisingly decent, and the production handed by Thomas Erona and assistant producer Kren Meier of SACRIFICIAL, is good. The guitar sound is crushing! All in all, a very promising and recommendable demo, get it for something like $6.

- Danish **DISASTER AREA** have finally been ripped off by Wild Rags. That just put them in the same situation as a countless number of bands before them. It must be time for the bands to realize that Wild Rags, no matter what he says, only think of thing, and that is to rip your guts off.

EIDETIC

EIDETIC is one of the most potential bands that have emerged from the Danish underground metal scene. After releasing 2 demos, the band went a bit quiet, but are now back with a new line-up and stuff. But what they actually have been doing since the release of their "Mirror Passway" demo explains Peter Larsen, the drummer of the band.

- Well, at first Morten Knaak left us, then we asked Dan Anderson to leave us as well. For a while we had Morten Nissen on vocals, and with him, we released one song on a Dutch compilation CD, the worst CD with the worst bands on. Then Morten left the band. We went on to make tracks with Jonas Redebo on vox which has been released on the ALL-SORTS CD released by Progress Red Labels. Our new line-up is: Morten Enevoldsen, Jeppe Jensen on guitar, Micael Dahl on drums, Terje guitar and Jonas Redebo on bass and vox. I'm just the man that endures the hectic thrash on both of their demos, on the ALL-SORTS CD, you've also got new EIDETIC! Or shall I say a testimonial of some new and the old one. I don't know what to call our new style, but people have shown much surprise to the fact that it doesn't sound like the old stuff anymore. Mainly positively surprised. Our new music is very worth listening to, one has to listen to understand what's going on, and then again the new tracks swing a lot more than the old ones, states Peter. By appearing on the ALL-SORTS CD, EIDETIC's music has been spread widely. And by the potential shown in these songs, och the bands can easily have secured them a deal. We haven’t heard anything yet. Progress have sent out 200 CD's, and we haven't got any reaction from anybody at all... That's a shame, says Peter while looking a bit disappointed. We're heading for the studio in December where we will record 3-4 new tracks, which are going to be sent out for some time again, and hopefully, we'll be for sale at all... And then we'll get a deal, we have to. The new tracks will have the same attitude, style, with the one track on the ALL-SORTS CD, but a bit more raw and brutal, not as cute... 

EIDETIC is from Esbjerg, mainly a death metal city. But that doesn't seem to...

EXHAUST  
*Escapism*  
(Demo 1992)

Danish EXHAUST is a new breed­ing act from out of this country with a very serious attitude concerning promotion. Their music is death metal highly influenced by their landmates KONKHRA. EXHAUST manages to play some heavy death metal with some variation such as pace and 2 vocalists. There are 5 tracks on “Escapism” all played with an urge to destroy and to be brutal... I think EXHAUST are worth a check as it’s one of the better acts from out of Denmark.

- **GERONIMO** from Denmark have released a 2 song promo tape. The tape really rips, unfortunately it arrived to us too late to be featured on the demonewsed pages. The 2 songs are called "Noize In The Hood" & "My Beloved Angel". Expect some heavy news from this band soon.

- Danish ICONOCLASM have lost a guitar-player. Søren Møller has left the band. Right now the band has it's heaviest line-up ever, and their music is bound to make them known in the underground. The major difference in the band is the change of drummer. Instead of Thorbjørn Kristensen, the band has Rolf Hansen from the Danish doom-godz CAUSTIC on drums.

Four Depressive Seasons: A Journey Through Emotive Soundscapes

![ILL DISPOSED Logo](https://via.placeholder.com/300)

**FOUR DEPRESSIVE SEASONS**

ILL DISPOSED, a band that have been voted the most brutal band to emerge out of Denmark. They’ve recently released their debut CD on PROGRESS RED LABELS, and it’s a really cool album. I decided to have a chat with their extreme front man and Sub Woofer Bo Summer.

- **Well Bo, please inform the readers about the bandhistory of ILL DISPOSED?**

  "But there actually isn't any. What did it all start with. I think we played in 2 different bands, no I played in both. Then one was called MOTTORAIN, L and Lasse came from there, I played the bass there because I beat up the regular guy. I entered ILL DISPOSED with Michael (Knoevels drama) and a guy called Jesse. Then we played with this guy called SLASHER, and after that we had this ex-drummer from the band, I played the bass there, Lasse played the guitar, and then we found out I couldn't play bass anymore, then we recruited Ronnie."

- **Then you recorded a demo?**

  "Mjaah, then we recorded a demo tape 6 months after the formation. Actually we got a contract without having played live or anything."

- **But there was something about that you had a deal on a French label?**

  "Yeah, it was Infest Records. It was due to them that we recorded ‘Four Depressive Seasons’. Actually I was ready to send the DAT master to France when Andreas called me up and said ‘Goddam mit næv er Lars Larsen, jeg har det cool tibud til dig’. And so our first offer in fact got ‘rejected’."

- **But that wasn’t the only thing. You also had some weird trouble with your manager?**

  "Yeah, well we were supposed to meet with our manager, Esben Sloth Sørensen, at his bands drummers place, but he weren’t there. Then we messed up his apartment, moved his furniture around, put all his things into a closet, and we wrote ‘Go’ to this place on a piece of paper, oh yeah, Mads also stamped his foot with one of those ‘Best before’ stamps. But after that he called us up, wanted to get his stuff in ’84. and later we had to travel to southern Denmark, he had called the police and we had to go to his place and infest ourselves."

- **Well, when your album is finally out, are you satisfied with it?**

  "Yeah, we’re satisfied, but the one we have recorded now I like better, and it’s ten times better. The album (‘Four Depressive Seasons’) only took 5 days. Now that we’ve relaxed and we’ve stayed in the studio for 3 days rehearsal and then 2 days recording we are happy."

- **Then you have some tour plans?**

  "Well, in November we’re going on tour with ATHEIST (AGRESSOR, WARGASM) in Europe."

- **How has your CD been doing?**

  "I actually don’t know, I’ve only seen one review of it. The one from Jam. But it’s selling okay, we hope to re-print it soon."

- **Your cover is a bit weird, have you chosen it yourself?**

  "Yeah, we didn’t want the guys from Progress to choose it, so it’s maybe a guy that we don't know that has chosen it. The reason why we didn’t chose it is because they had the CD we wanted on our normal logo."

- **On this ‘Soulstorm’ tape, it says that you’ll release the songs on an EP. Inform me about that point?**

  "It was another company that we had gotten a contract with, I can’t remember right now, but INFEST and ourselves wouldn’t let us do that, unless we broke ourselves. We’ll remix it, and maybe use it for the seasons as we recorded it and it consists of three tracks. It could be Progress or the next CD, and now we sent it to Progress as we have this contract in Europe."

- **When will we see new stuff from you?**

  "We’re entering the studio as soon as we have the money. We intended to be in the studio during December or January. It should be out in February."

- **Then you have recruited Gordon Milstedt (Morten Gilsted, FURIOSUS TRUMAV)?**

  "Well, he called us up with his ridiculous accent and asked if we needed a guitarplayer?. We did, and he said ‘well, I’m coming over’ with his total cheesy Copenhagen accent. Anyway, he was determined, and we rehearsed for a few days, entered the studio and we recorded the ‘Soulstorm’ tape. But he didn’t play with us on the last gig, as he took home, and we haven’t seen him since then, we’ll be with us on the tour."

Anyway, be lucky enough to check out this utterly extreme band when they are heading for your town: See them on their new tour, buy their CD and their vicious promotape ‘Soulstorm’.

Unveiling the Beast: The Rise of ILL DISPOSED

**ILL DISPOSED  
"Soulstorm"  
(Promotape 1993)**

With this tape and such a strong title, ILL DISPOSED continues their destruction throughout the world. ILL DISPOSED have recruited a new guitarist, whom they have found in Gordon Millssted. This tape really takes off where their debut CD ended, with great crushing riffs and the evil-deep growls by Bo Summer.  
Need I say that their music is heavy death metal spiced with some well-played grind parts. Definitely one of the most extreme bands from Denmark.

INIQUITY  
*Promo 1993*  
(Promo 1993)  

I was positively surprised when I heard this tape. Their debut tape was pretty good, but this is really smokin’. It sounds as if the band is getting hold of playing their agressive death/thrash-like music. There is an overall progression to spot here, especially in the intensity of the music. INIQUITY have managed, apart from so many others, to make their music really interesting, and with such a devastated vocalist who really sounds pissed one can't find other words than joyful when describing this music.

I really hope INIQUITY promotes this tape as much as possible, as it really deserves it.

Promo 93

INVOCATOR, a band known to many. Currently the band have released a new album, the 2nd in line, and it shows INVOCATOR from a total different side. The new album is way more heavy than the first and it’s way more innovative. I got hold of Jacob Hansen, front man of the band, to get some clear view on what was happening.

- “Excursion Demise” was your debut album. Tell me the changes the band has gone through since then?

"There have always been changes in the band. Each day or week we made amends personally and musically. the goals we aimed at changed from one thing to another, and it will always be that way, I’m sure. After “Excursion...” we went through some important changes. It all started when long time bassplayer Jesper M. Jensen left shortly after the release of “Excursion...”. A tour was offered to us, supporting DARK ANGEL, and we had no bassplayer. The first person to spring to mind was Perle Hansen. I don’t know why, but we knew him and we knew he could do it. He did it and it went so smooth that we told him he could join us if he wanted to, and so he did.

Well, then problems with Jacob Schultz came about in the summer. After Perle in the band (he was originally a guitarist), we (Per and I) couldn’t stand that Perle was playing only bass and Schultz playing guitar, because Schultz had really severe problems playing our songs the way we wanted him to... Finally, we offered him a job in another danish band and he took it.

After Schultz went out, we really went through a hard time finding the right man for that job. We tried out Michael H. Andersen (FUSEBOX) and he also did the DARK ANGEL tour with us.

It didn’t work out as planned. Months went by and we really went on each other’s nerves about the situation when we contacted the guy we all should’ve chosen in the first place: the perfect Per Jakobsen. That was only the lineup changes, and as I mentioned before, we went through some musical changes also. We began to do new songs and discovered that they weren’t as fast as the older ones. We did 4 songs and recorded them roughly and surprisingly we actually liked it slow, but not uncatchy. We actually didn’t know in what direction the new songs were heading until we recorded the 3 song promo tape in 1992. That showed us “our new style”! It surprised us as much as the listeners.

And from there it went...We wanted to do more catchy songs!"

- You also released your 2nd album on Black Mark, are they getting better at their job?

"We think they’re getting better. Hell, they were just as green as we were when we got our album. They have got a lot of new people to work for them so they’re as occupied as we’re doing. Also they have less departments than other big distributions in several countries. Not to forget their cooperation with MTV Europe! A lot of good things have happened for the label, but their bandsigning is out of their minds!"

- How do you feel Black Mark have been handling the process of making your new album?

"There were a lot of problems bound to this release. It felt like this album was haunted by fuck-ups all the way. Firstly we couldn’t finish the album in the amount of time we got from Black Mark, distribution was fucking good, so we couldn’t change that. It really affected my studio and the mixing process ourselves, but at that point our producer Eric Greif had the full budget and he was pleased with the result. The mixing, it all went well, but in the end it was out of our hands.

The album, in its finished form, turned out very well. It’s one hundred percent Jacob Hansen. It really took a lot for me to be satisfied with the album. The reaction we’ll get when we present it together with the CDs is very promising. I’ve heard from people who work for Blac Mark has been that they ‘think the demos are some of the best we’ve done' ."

- On “Weave...” it seems as if you’ve been turning towards a style that can be labeled as your own. Is it natural progression or something you’ve been struggling for?

"I'm thrilled that you say we could call our style more our own than what’s on our debut. And it’s a very natural progression that we went through over the years. I’m sure we’re just about steady on it: We’ll just do more of the same well, and throw in all the good vibes we were lucky to get. We’re satisfied with the way the album turned out. Of course, we could’ve waited a year or so with it and still get more enjoyment prac ing them live.

I’m sure we long think we were more “Dooming” for sure, sorry. At least we did want to do more fixed more catchy, yet heavy song. As if we had done them in the demo way. Anything else is a we’re going in the right direction, that we agree completely.

Thumbs up all the way to our fans who thank you for such another album ending your career in a career! Very, very happy with it. It’s very big.

We’ve only just begun to see how devoted we so are. More releases like that and raff to do that, we can’t wait to begin.

Just before you finish this: I'm very happy about the fact that we just made the efforts to carry out “Excursion” and “Weave...”.

You can’t do better than that!" because it's all so new. You can hear it's us, but it's just so much different in all aspects. Vocals, leads, drums, the sound, the songs, the pace... Everything!"

— How do you think people will react on your new album?

"First of we were very nervous about it all, because people were just so shocked to hear our new style that they couldn't really comment. But as time goes, people seems to like it much, much more than we've ever done, and that's so much more satisfying for us. The 'right' people also seems to like it. Not just death/thrash listeners, which is a new, yet great feeling for us. I'm sure most people will like it for its diversity. Whether they like our style or not, I'm sure they'll all go? 'Well, it's heavy!' hahahaha!"

— Why did you choose Paw Nielsen to do the style-typography and the initials on the album?

"At the time the album turned out to be very different from our first, or everything we've done previously, we decided to try new things (for us anyway). That's why we wanted Paw Nielsen to do the style-typography. He has also done some symbols to each song and also each member. He has got a lot of great ideas, and I think it came out really, really good.

— Some people have said to you that they think INVOCATOR is the wrong band for you these days due to the fact that you are the only member remaining from the beginning. What's your view on this?

"I don't know why anyone should think that?! It's not like I'm a big taste (Colgate, IBM, Mars or whatever) Just because the flavor of Colgate changes, people don't go: 'Hey, they should change the name now'. haha, what would you say if Chuck changed DEATH's style over the next two years? 'We all live forever...' Actually, I can blow my nut, but it would be ludicrous to change the logo. We're just establishing the name, so why change it? Maybe they have a name for us already? (I bet they do)'

— How was it to work with Tue Gref?

"It was memorable... I don't know. He worked alright, but I don't think he's the right producer for us. He is not that much of a sound-guy." He's more a musician without engines. John Kroonblom couldn't do a shit. He's even not a musician, which means that he sucks! In the end, Tue had something that wasn't a soundguy neither, but I think I could find comfort in him just being. He tried hard, didn't lie to us... he did a very fine job. Just told John he left before his job was finished. So did he!!!"

— Talking about producing. How's your own job as producer going?

"Mmmm... Fine. I had to take a break because of the mix length, but I've learned so many new things. I was supposed to do CONCITE SLEEP's album, but they backed out because of Sweden and their military-shit. Well, I'm keen on doing some different things than just deathrash, so I hope to work with very different styles of music later on. Plans at the moment? Maybe one day I can get a part-time job in a studio... Hey, check out SACRIFICIAL's album!"

— Now you mentioned SACRIFICIAL which is your first album. Do you hope to get more recognition as a producer after this?

"I certainly hope so. I think SACRIFICIAL's album was a very good start. It was done on 16 tracks in a very limited studio and in a bit funny way, because I think it's most commercial, mature... with that mean attitude you always can hear, because that is the way it should sound."

— Now back to INVOCATOR. Is this THE new top-up? And what has to happen to you when all looks fine, people, or something happens... I don't know. I'd like to think that this line-up will last, but you never know. Until now, this is the far best we've ever been, and we simply are not ready to change to worse.

What has it got that it didn't have before? More consistent! Pare is amazing on a guitar, bringing down the house! What can I say? The line-up is past grand time, good feeling... and there has got to mean not just be something like the ultimate.

— Words of this interview with your last words?

"Last words... I would like to thank you Morten for drinking coffee with me when I'm most stressed. and HAHA! no, seriously, thank you Morten."

Anyway... the new album, has gotten incredible response everywhere. And those we worked with, thank you. It's been massive touring Europe with MORGANA LE-FAY and CEMETARY.

Actually, for those of you who doesn't know by now, Jacob Hansen is doing a magazine called SACROFORMITY, it should be checked out. Order it from POWER records.

Evolutionary Soundscapes: INVOCATOR's Innovative Journey

**INVOCATOR**

*Weave The Apocalypse*

(Black Mark)

OBITUARY makes good albums in the same reliable style every single time. INVOCATOR makes good albums! Nowadays you can't state INVOCATOR in any specific category, and that's great. The new album differs; INVOCATOR plays fast, groovy, slow, experimental and tight. You can find it all here. The more "groovy" *Through The Nether To The Sun* and the fast *Lost At Birth*. One thing that really annoyed me on the first album, were the leads, and luckily they've matured as well. This is worth a check. INVOCATOR have found a style.

Invocator: A Versatile Journey in 'Weave The Apocalypse'

- Danish KONKHRA who've released their debut CD "Stranded" on PROGRESS, have finally released a follow-up. It came too late to be reviewed in this issue, but I have heard it a few times and I can tell you that it's smokin'. It was recorded in Sunlight (Stockholm) with Tomas Skogsberg as producer. It's entitled "Sexual Affective Disorder". On this 2nd release, KONKHRA introduces 2 new members, Johnny Nielsen on drums and Lars Schmidt on bass.

Hey, hvis Kai er blevet kulet, hvad er der så sket med Andrea? Ah, anyway, this band have tried to convince me that they're serious with this. This is black metal, and can we take them serious? No way, with titles like like "Guided by the true lord Satan" (I mean, hey, can't they even remember the name of their lord?), ah, come on Lord Evil & Co. How about trying to actually play evil next time? I mean, what's black about some DEAD KENNEDYS alike riffs?

**NATIONS OF DEATH**

*'Wrecked' (Demo 1993)*

By a first view this tape looks really professional and it is. The music is death metal with a major lack of originality and tightness. N.O.D. really sounds as if they try to create some good and varied death metal, and some of their riffs ain’t bad. But it all sounds as if they haven’t taken the time it takes, to write their songs.
If I was you, humble buyer, I would wait to the next release from this band, or contact them. This tape can be yours for $6

**PIXIE KILLERS**  
*One Size Fits All*  
(Inter Music)

This is a Danish thrash band who’ve been around since 1987, and this is their debut full-length release. I kind of have mixed feelings about this one. P.K. is undoubtedly a talented band who are capable of writing some pretty groovy-thrashy tunes. What sets this otherwise fine CD back is the production. Albeit not being bad, it does sound somewhat amateurish, and that goes in particular for the vocal-production. But ok, as a whole it’s not that bad, and the songs of P.K. are cool, and I like the way they incorporate a certain “groove” and “swing” in their songs. Promising stuff, try and check it out.

- Danish MACERATION, known for their debut CD "A Serenade Of Agony" released on Progress, are finally coming together. After massive problems with finding a fixable line-up, the band is finally going somewhere. The band consists of Jakob Schultz (guitar), Lars Bangsholt (guitar), Morten Nissen (vocals). The band is still in an insecure situation concerning drummer and bassplayer. However, they have managed to make some new songs, and they are heavy, not as the CD at all. write'em and ask what they are up to. - Jakob Schultz and Morten Nissen have formed a new band. As long as MACERATION is as unstable as it is, the 2 members decided to form a new band. They're still rockin' in MACERATION. The new band, which is nameless at this writing moment play a mixture of grunge, rap, thrash, heavy, everything that sound heavy in a way. Write to this band and get some more insight info. - Jakob Schultz and Morten Nissen have formed a new band. As long as MACERATION is as unstable as it is, the 2 members decided to form a new band.

- More Danish info. DOMINUS should, according to many, have signed to Greek Molon Lave Records. One can't help thinking that the Danish scene is about to be one of the strongest ever.

Dominus and the Rise of the Danish Music Scene

# DOMINUS  
**Astaroth**  
(Demo 1993)

DOMINUS from Denmark, who according to the rumors, have signed to Greek Molon Lave records gave me this tape to review. “Astaroth” contains 4 songs and 1 intro. The music is pure brutal death metal with a satanic message. I can't help of thinking of GOREFEST and BENEDICTION when listening to this, and still thinking on DEICIDE when I read the lyrics. This demo is one of those demos that you need to purchase. Brutal death metal without any technical finesse, just pure brutality. And, if I was you, I would probably write the band anyway, just to ask when their debut vinyl approach will hit the streets.

Brutal Beginnings: A Review of Dominus' "Astaroth" Demo (1993)

**DENIAL OF GOD**  
*Osculum Infame*  
(Demo 1992)  

Ey for fanden, this is a very ridiculous "demo" from a very ridiculous "band". D.O.G. are a bunch of guys who suddenly found out that they actually are very 'true' and very 'satanic' when DARK THRONE (etc) turned black metal. Anyway, D.O.G. then went into their rehearsal room, recorded 5 songs on a little tape and released it as a demo. How bloody clever!!!

Eh, I'm probably not the right guy to judge these hounds of hell, but in my opinion these D.O.G.s are all bark and no bite! They suck fried stork balls, to be honest, and I somehow doubt if even true blacksters would dig this shit (which probably just shows how little I know about black metal).

Inauthentic Darkness: A Critique of Denial of God

FALLEN ANGEL  
"An Omen Of Apocalypse"  
(Demo 1993)

Another Danish act, this time from Hvalsø!  
FALLEN ANGEL plays brutal and evil death metal with clear influences from MORBID AN- GEL, DEICIDE and SUFFOCATION. This is their debut demo, and it's quite a massive one featuring 6 tracks of fast-brutal-death-metal. It seems as FALLEN ANGEL are pretty devoted to this genre of music, their riffs are very intense and brutal.  
This is a debut demo, and at some places you can hear that F.A. could be a bit more tight and more well-playing, the production is killing most of this, as the drums almost can't be heard, and the guitar and bass mutters up in eachother!  
This is $6 and it's good brutality.

Fallen Angel: Echoes of Brutal Danish Death Metal

**CORROSIVE**  
*Please Yourself*  
(Adv. to demo 1992)

Hey, do I sense masturbatory overtones in this title?! Anyway, this Danish band used to be called CORROSIVE DEATH, and they released their debut demo, "Oblivious", under that monicker. Now they've gotten rid of the DEATH-part of their name (good for them) and done a new demo with a rather strange title for a band of this genre... CORROSIVE play fast & brutal deathrash, kind of like a mixture between MORBID ANGEL in the "A.O.M." days and INVOCATOR in the "Alterations" days, so some of CORROSIVE's material might sound slightly dated. Nevertheless, CORROSIVE aren't bad at all. They, and especially their drummer, have some pretty good ideas here and there, and with some more work and support I could easily imagine this lot doing some really great stuff. But, as I said, some more work in the rehearsal room is required, and a better production wouldn't hurt either. Check out this heavy up and coming Danish by writing to:

Corrosive: Evolution from Death to Demo

**MORFEUS**  
*Where No Dreams Reach*  
(Demo 1992)

These super doomies have recorded their debut demo. Well, the music is very slow and actually without any excitement at all. It's pretty cool that they play doom, but it’s like this material is too thin, there's no punch in it as for example CAUSTIC or ANATHEMA manage to put in their songs. Doom music is meant to express sadness and sorrow, all MORFEUS manage to express is boredom. My advice to this band is to keep playing doom, but try to get more punch into the music, make it more full of sad emotions. Check this out, if you want.
