Belenos - Chants De Bataille (2006)

Play:H5

The BM scene in France is very active but remains mainly an underground movement (that is utterly unknown too most of the metalheads ...don't even mention others!lol, and benefiting from a rather poor production!)...however once and a while there are bands that manage to make their way out (not too many, and they don't go too far whatsoever! ah ah!), the living proof being that Belenos which comes from Bretagne has been existing since 1995 but they are known to the initiates only! ...too bad cause their dark and furious BM in a pagan style has been one of my favourite for a long time, and though this album is much more violent than what they used to do!, it has the ability to carry its listener into great Celtic and medieval ambiances! believe me after listening to that one no war or opponent will seem frightening enough to you not to tweak his nose and laugh in his face!lol .... the power of darkness will flow in your vein forever after! Hail! \m/

(WAR2)Secrets of the Moon - Antithesis (2006)

Play:G6

As Heaven shows another and less acknowledged aspect of itself (indeed not so far from the Hell Legions as a matter of fact...why are we battling??lol!), we'll have to resort to ancestral power in that tough war to still corrupt it further! Old warriors like Satyricon, or Samael in their early period all did so and i guess it's now our turn to follow the path of our forefather! the power of ßlã¢k MåGîk shall spread forth as Lucifer speaks it and the Secret of the Moon shall finally unravel its progressive power over the Warfield and eventually bring our Legions one step further down the sombre road to victory!! enjoy!!

Play: F7

I heard some have been wounded during last battle, then this is what they should now or very shortly feel like! Each of our blow is infected with a Russian disease called Murder Delirium! as the first song already tells you that is what led to "The Birth Of Intellect And Human Malice",... why we have fallen! as i speak your senses shall begin to alter and the nice and quiet melodies sent to destroy us will now sound ominous and much more brutal, enthralling hellish symphonies!! as for the delicate voices of flourishing virgins singing which you're used to, well, that is the better part, they will turn into deep demonly growl!! ah ah!! welcome to our Dream of Insanity! Great isn't it? lol

Damn this war is quite demanding but i'm prepared to commit myself!! members of the Hell Legion are drunk?? ah ah!! no wonder to me! i'll sure need to bring those unruly demons to Scandinavia, after that journey they'll need quite a lot to get drunk... if that ever happens again!lol your Heaven Legions dwelling in Poland will soon have their shining lil' asses on fire, as Azarath has just been summoned! Remarkably experienced for his third participation, but utterly unknown to the outter world, he will have no difficulty in blending with your people, executing the lot to the m#th#rf#ck#n' last one of them!lol that violently fast, bloodthirsty animal of inexhaustible energy is insanely effective!...you're lucky most of the Legions aren't there! on your guards winged one! ;)

(WAR2)Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone (2005)

Play: E6

this little demon here is a band by the former guitarist of The Berzerker, and though it's quite experimental as well with some electronica and an avant garde style, it's not at all in the same vein! the music is quite grim and atmospheric overall but extreme and violent at the same time! this is the true power of evil unbridled so prepare to lose control of your wings and reel through various landscapes where life has barely ever set foot, or has been sucked dry of its very own substance if ever there had been life in those places! Even the mightiest of angels will have to handle that wayward one with care ....or "fallen" will be a weak euphemism for his new condition! ah ah! only lunatics dare rise against us! ;P

Play: G4

well, i take up the turn as Purple seems not to be around! he can take the following or i'll do it again! eh eh! the Hell Legions are not really used to be challenged so it's a bit of a mess to put everything together, a Capharnaum in some sort!lol but as you'll see there's more than meet the eyes cause under the blurry and shallow surface lies indeed an uncompromising state-of-the-art organization! i'm sure Heaven can see clearly through the mess! beware cause we will rise as one all at once...and we'll not ring a bell!lol

(WAR2)Balrog - Bestial Satanic Terror 2006

Play: F5

here comes Balrog! as this is the beginning of the unholy war, i play that album which is their second but as their first went unnoticed , this one might be considered their debut album! Balrog has not the real sound of BM to me, as they are closer to DM IMO, which is a bit of a shame cause the album would be so much powerful if it had the raw sound it deserves. So this album is not the best i've ever heard and bears a few weaknesses and as it comes from France i'm certainly a bit partial to it but nevertheless, it's pretty well composed with loads of catchy riffs and a powerful hatred that oozes from the songs. actually as this is just a newcomer in the art of warfare, i guess in a short while this fledgling band'll be quite devastating! so better pay attention cause you might find him on your path again!
