Winter Martirium


La historia comienza a fines del año 2000 cuando Tenebrum (ex guitarrista de Corporal Dissection) decide formar un nuevo proyecto, por lo que empieza a buscar músicos, los primeros en llegar fueron Horacio Rodríguez (guitarra) y Leo Deymie (batería), para luego integrarse Martín Zepeda (teclados) y Bruno Saba (en bajo) quien luego de unos meses fue reemplazado por Augusto Vignoli. El estilo de la banda en sus comienzos fue un Black metal melódico con influencias de bandas como: Dimmu Borgir, Darzamat, The Summoning, Enthroned, etc.
La banda hace su presentación en público en el año 2001 junto a su banda amiga Corporal Dissection con la que tocaría en varios recitales mas adelante. A mediados de 2002 graba un demo de cinco temas llamado "Evil Reign" en el estudio de grabación "El Hornito" de Sergio Manganelli". Debido a la crisis económica del país casi la única difusión que se le pudo dar fue por medio de Internet, fue enviado a países como Noruega, Italia, Rumania, Bélgica, Alemania y en sud América en Chile, Brasil, Perú, Colombia, etc. En enero de 2003 Winter Martirium organiza un festival internacional Black death metal, en el que actuaron Sarkus (black metal – Chile), Alocer (black metal – Brasil) Winter Martirium (black metal – San Juan - Argentina) Corporal Dissection (death metal- San Juan – Argentina). Luego de este festival la banda se toma un largo descanso, ya en 2005 el grupo se reúne, pero en el transcurso de unos meses Horacio Rodríguez abandona la banda para dedicarse de lleno a Corporal Dissection. Casi al mismo tiempo se integra Vaakhor en bajo, con esta formación la banda toca en vivo una sola vez y luego del recital el baterista Leo Deymie se retira del grupo. Sin embargo la banda sigue ensayando y después de probar con varios bateristas, llega F.H. de origen alemán.
Posteriormente F. debe volver a su patria, y Winter Martirium vuelve a buscar baterista, el que se suma esta vez es Claudio Montiveros (fundador y baterista de Corporal Dissection), dejando la banda Claudio se retira de la banda en el 2009 y quien ingresa esta vez es Aböminor, quien participará de un solo recital (Infernal War Fest II), la banda toca actualmente con bateristas amigos o contratados aún sin encontrar alguno como miembro fijo. El estilo de la banda ha ido evolucionando a través de los años siendo el actual un nuevo estilo bautizado por la banda como War Black Metal, (Al cual nos referimos de esta manera por tener una temática militar, representando en sus canciones una tremenda oscuridad y la violencia que representa toda guerra.) esta vez con influencias de bandas como Dark Funeral, Marduk, Nargaroth, Absurd, Ad Hominem, Nokturnal Mortum, Veles, Enthroned, Behemoth, etc, además de marchas y canciones militares de época y actuales.
Tenebrum – Voz y Guitarra; Vaakhor – Bajo.

Monolith - Drums, su sonido es brutal, manteniendo un estilo de la vieja escula del black metal, pareciendo a veces sonidos melodicos que le dan un toque muy bueno, muy recomendadisima esta banda. Mucho mas para los anticristianos, pues sus letras estan llenas de oscuridad y odio. Disfrutenlo.

Fen


The band is named after a region in England called The Fens. The Fens have very flat and mysterious landscapes, with many marshes and wetlands. The band members grew up in this area, and find much of the inspiration for their music and themes from the atmosphere of this area.

An expression of loss and melancholic yearning, the primary goal with Fen is to draw the listener into a windswept and desolate landscape, bereft of hope. The band was born in early 2006 when Grungyn, Theutus and The Watcher came together to embark on a project that fused the cold rage of black metal with more reflective influences from the post-rock/shoegaze genres. Initially intended as a studio project, the three members quickly found a rich seam of creative inspiration and in the summer of 2006 recorded the three songs that would end up as the ‘Ancient Sorrow’ EP.

The three members began to embark on a series of live shows in 2007 and during this period, Draugluin joined the ranks. In early 2007, the band were contacted by Northern Silence Productions who expressed interest in releasing the ‘Ancient Sorrow’ EP on both CD and vinyl. This offer was gratefully accepted and in October 2007, Ancient Sorrow was released to great acclaim within the underground. During this period Fen played shows with key acts such as Agalloch, Skyforger and Negura Bunget, earning a reputation for intense and emotional performances. The band swiftly caught the attention of Code666 Records who signed the band for the release of their debut album, ‘The Malediction Fields’ which was released in January 2009 and swiftly garnered very positive reviews.Early 2010 saw Æðelwalh replace Draugluin on keyboards & backing vocals. Armed with this latest line-up, the band are preparing to embark on a tour with Negura Bunget in the Spring before commencing the recording of their second album ‘Epoch’. Vocalist/guitarist The Watcher had this to say of the material that will appear on the newest record: ‘The last 18 months or so have been a grueling time for me personally and Epoch reflects this completely. Darker and more reflective, we are giving voice to the pain, desolation and relentless solitude that are the fundaments of the human experience.’

By the joining of vocalist W, bassist A.R.G and second guitarist B.P, the lineup was complete and a truly devastatingly destructive force.

The first offspring of this alliance was a self titled EP, consisting of four hymns in the honour of plague and pestilence, that was released in 2009.After live performances with bands like Mayhem, Behexen and Sólstafir in the autumn of 2009, Cavus signed a worldwide recording contract with French record label Listenable Records and a management contract with Finnish management company SSG Management Ltd.

Country of origin: Russia
Year of creation: 1995
Genre: Folk/Pagan/Doom/Black Metal

In Slavic mythology, Alkonost (Алконост) is the goddess of the land of the dead. She is pictured as half-woman/half-bird.

The band stands on non-political and anti-racist positions.



ALKONOST was founded in 1995 by bass player Elk. He had many ideas of music which would be based on European medieval music and Russian folk melodies. Not long after that Elk switched to lead guitar and Alex Nightbird took on bass duties. In August 1997 Alkonost recorded the "Shadows of Timeless" rehearsal tape and the "Shadows of Glory" demo.

During several occasions in 1998-2000 Alkonost recorded the album “Songs of the Eternal Oak”. Alex Nightbird contributed the vocals himself. The debut album was re-recorded in 2007, this time with a way better sound and Russian lyrics. The album was initially released on cassette by Latvian label Beverina Production and German label Ketzer. During year 2000 Alkonost shoot the promotional video “Years of Prophecy”, shortly after which female lead vocalist Aljona joined the band. In July 2002, the self-titled "Alkonost" CD was released on Beverina Production/Ketzer. It included the "Songs of the Eternal Oak" album, "Spirit Tending to Revolt" demo, and 2 videos. The CD was well reviewed in the West, the German RockHard magazine giving it 7.5 points out of 10 for example. 

In September 2002 they began to work on the new full-length album, the album where female vocals dominated. Alkonost recorded both English and Russian versions of the album “Between the Worlds”. In September 2003 Dmitry Sokolov (ex-member of Flaming Hate as Anton) officially entered the band ass second guitar-player. At the end of 2003, the band signed on with Soyuz label (Russia) for the re-release of the 2002 “Alkonost” CD. In 2004 ALKONOST continued the extensive touring, performed in Folk Metal Fest-2 (St. Petersburg). In August 2005 ALKONOST went to studio for the recording of the next full-length Russian album named “Put’ Neproydenny” (“The Path We’ve Never Made”). The album was mastered in famous Moscow studio “CDM-records”. Finally “Mezhmirie” and “The Path We’ve Never Made” were released by Metallism Records in spring 2006 and in April-June 2006 ALKONOST started a big Russian tour in support of “The Path We’ve Never Made. Vic Records bought the rights of these 2 albums for a world wide releases (except the former Sovjet Union). Meanwhile CD “The Path We’ve Never Made” continued to get good reviews and finally it took the 1st place in one of the most significant Russian metal-charts – "Top Metal Album-100. VIC RECORDS released both 'Between the Worlds' (Vic Records, 2009) and 'The Path We've Never Made' with bonus video (Vic Records, 2009) in the rest of the world'.
