Trelleborg

When I gathered information for my previous post, I found one more band that deserves your attention. Meet Trelleborg, a viking/humppa/folk metal band from SPb, Russia, whose music is inspired mainly by Finnish metal scene. However, they also made cover versions some old Soviet songs. Here's their version of "Katyusha", check it out if you find Mrakobesie's version of it too harsh!

According to their myspace, they're an apolitical band, and most importantly - they doesn't promote any kind of fascist ideology (you know how much the eastern European metal scene is involved in that shit...) And finally - one of the tracks from their 2006 demo, again a cover version of an old Soviet song:
Trelleborg - Песня о тревожной молодости

Preface To The Dead Sea - pre-album tracks (2010)


PREFACE TO THE DEAD SEA "pre-album tracks"

Year: 2010
Genre: Post-(Black?) Metal / Neocrust
Country: Russia

Track List:
  1. Novaya Zemlya
  2. Jan Mayen
  3. Sable
  4. Redonda
DOWNLOAD


Preface To The Dead Sea are a new 5-piece band from Tula, Russia. It's a side project of members of the political punk/screamo act Namatjira, and they describe their style as "black metal / ambient". However, I can't hear much BM on this demo, it's just post-metal in the vein of Isis and Fall Of Efrafa with acoustic parts and some female vocals. It's actually very good for a first demo, but if you like more fast and aggressive stuff, then it's better to look elsewhere.

DOWNLOAD


Grave Dancers (or "Pedansa Kuburan") are a political thrash metal/hardcore band from Jakarta, whose music is highly inspired by classical crust punk, d-beat and crossover. "Morbid Nation" is their debut full-length release, and it's quite good. The cover art is just excellent, somehow reminds me of the opening sequence of Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (the scene of a riot in Tokyo). Looks like there's a relatively big hardcore/thrash scene in Indonesia, but most of these bands are unknown to the whole world...

Cafe Ulbricht - "Sonidos, Café Solo y Solidaridad" (2005)


CAFE ULBRICHT "Sonidos, Café Solo & Solidaridad"

Year: 2005
Genre: Dark Ambient / Power Electronics
Country: Germany

Track List:
  1. Intro
  2. Creacion/Destruccion
  3. Los Clavos Y La Carne
  4. Mi Invierno
  5. Fin
  6. Sangre
  7. En La Maquinara
  8. La Ill Guerra Mundial
  9. Somos
DOWNLOAD


According to one of founding members of this project: "I did some anarchist industrial with a friend some years ago. We were called "Café Ulbricht" and did an album. We never wanted to release it properly because noone should pay or recieve money for it, not even in a no profit way..."


Well, here it is. I have some more noise/darkambient/industrial-related recommendations (Vae Victis, Frostwinter), but Vae Victis looks like just a joke project (maybe it isn't, but I'm not sure), and Frostwinter isn't explicitly political, just vegan. I think there's already enough noise on my blog, so from now I'll post blackened crust and(a little later) black metal. Stay tuned for updates!

  14. Hack the Planet
  15. Die Monotonie des Seins
DOWNLOAD


And finally, a full-length release by KR. For me it's more harsh and sample-filled, when compared to two previous EPs - so I wouldn't describe it as dark ambient, it's rather industrial electronic. Looks like it is a concept album, but I can't say much about it, because unfortunately I can understand spoken German only a very little.

Klang Ruinen - "Winter" (200?)


KLANG RUINEN "Winter"

Year: unknown
Genre: Dark Ambient / Electronic
Country: Germany

Track List:
  1. Die Zukunft
  2. Fakt
  3. Uitgaan Chaos
  4. Winter
DOWNLOAD


One more release by this German anarcho-industrial project. I know I have readers who like such kind of music, but it's hard to me to review it. Of course it's not metal and not even noise, but the fans of dark ambient/electronic stuff will probably enjoy this EP.

Klang Ruinen - "Atom" (200?)

KLANG RUINEN "Atom"

Year: unknown
Genre: Dark Ambient / Electronic
Country: Germany

Track List:
  1. Atomkrieg
  2. Tanzende Atome
DOWNLOAD


Klang Ruinen is an anarchist artist from Germany who produce dark electronic and ambient music. Though it's really not my kind of music, I think some of KR's releases are worth your attention. Sorry for such low-quality cover art, I couldn't find the better image anywhere.

Some more noisy stuff for you!


Anchorites - Brace the Sky

Anchorites: "we are a chaos magick/ social libertarian/ stonner/ discordian/ post civilisation/ arts collective, based out of the industrial wasteland of bushwick brooklyn, new york. we play a mix of lo-fi ambient tape black metal, mixed with some noise, sludge and clearer parts. we release everything ourselves diy, so it doesnt really make it very far outside of the new york diy scene.  the band is also comprised of various members of other meta/ punk/ and noise projects, including: opponents, blissed out, (a)truth and when i came back from death. this is a tape demo of a rehearsal thats been spreading around.  also make a point to state that we are vehemently anti: -fascist, -racist, -homophobic, -sexist, -xenophobic, -police, -state and against various other forms of scum".


Enkï - Haxan

The 1st demo track by Enkï, a very raw black metal project emerged from The North Carolina hardcore scene (just like Violent Ends).


Kriminaaliset Metsänhaltijat - NATO

KM are a very harsh noise project from Russia and Finland, formed in 1999 and recorded their first tape "NATO" in 2004. This is not a full album, just two tracks which are available online for free. From archive.org: "Anarchic power-electronics as it is: roaring feedbacks, metal junk noise attacks, fat synthesizers and powerful vocal, which shouts about rotten society, disgusting politicians and other corrupted bastards. Amazing anarcho-industrial album from uncanny, original and mysterious band".

I also need to mention Vagancy, a new noisecore / grindcore / anarcho-black metal project from Argentina. Up to date, all their releases were made just for fun, as it's extremely difficult to produce any underground music in Argentina. If you aren't afraid of noisecore, then you may search for their releases by yourself.
