Watain - All That May Bleed


Saxat från nätet/underjorden/antikosmos. Lay down your souls to the gods rock n'roll osv.

"The first single for ”The Wild Hunt” will be released on Summer Solstice, June 21st.

The name of the single will be ”ALL THAT MAY BLEED”.

”All that May Bleed shows but one facet of a quite diverse album, but we chose this song as a first glimpse into ”The Wild Hunt” because of its bombastic lunacy and white-eyed malevolence which could be said to constitute a main foundation for the album. The lyric is an invitation to sacrificial blood letting, ecstatic zealotry and human sacrifice. The salt of Satan in the wounds of Christ!”

Artwork by Bp. Necropolitus Cracoviensis Zbigniew Bielak II.



Side B will be a track called ”Play with the Devil” originally recorded by the Black/Heavy Metal band Taiwaz in 1988, in Uppsala. Gottfrid Åhman from In Solitude participates on solo guitar in Watain’s version.

Selim Lemouchi & His Enemies - Thistle


Jag måste erkänna att jag kom in på The Devil's Blood väldigt sent, jag hade knappt börjat förstå storheten innan de helt plötsligt imploderade och försvann. Detta är lite av en dålig vana när det gäller mig som har gjort att jag har missat många band när de varit ute och turnerat.
När Selim's första demos med sitt nya projekt "Selim Lemouchi & His Enemies" dök upp var jag inte speciellt imponerad, det lät mest som långa improvisationer från någon som en gång skapat magi. Men så hittade jag denna videon idag och herrejävlar! Om The Devil's Blood fortfarande hade existerat och allierat sig med Kim från Of The Wand and the Moon hade det nog låtit något i stil med detta. Riktigt jävla bra.
