Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #43: Esimere/Sarmat/Inhumanity Vortex/Kat

Hey futuristicmetalpunkers,

this is the very last episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" and one of the very last new articles on Timpani allo Spiedo zine. It is about 4 bands, one Italian and the other 3 from Poland, as usual in these last times. In fact, Timpani allo Spiedo, during these days, became in practice a webzine a lot focused on the Polish metal, and this is very curious.

Anyway, let's go to discover the bands... and see you soon with a surprise!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #42: Gasoline Guns/Sandbreaker/Ulcer/Faeces/The Black Thunder

Hey motordoomdeathmetallers,

this is the very last episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" dedicated to the releases I received from Mythrone Promotion. In fact, the albums contained in this episode all belong to the last pack that Mythrone sent to me one month ago circa.

All the bands in this article are Polish, except the Gasoline Guns, as you'll see soon. In addition, all the albums were released in 2021 in co-production by Defense Records and Mythrone Promotion, also in collaboration with other labels like Free Joy Stereo, as in the case of the Sandbreaker.

I advise that the next episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" will be the last one because, as I explained, Timpani allo Spiedo is going to end its activities.

And now, thanking Marcin of Mythrone Prom to sending me all these awesome albums throughout these years, let's go to discover the bands!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #41: Hammathaz/Dira Mortis/Ireful/Deathspawn/Incertus/Iscariota/Gnida

Hey extreme fuckin' metalbangers,

as I promised few days ago, here you are another episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" totally about the releases that I received ultimately in CD by Mythrone Promotion. This time you'll find albums mainly released by the sole Defense Records (Deathspawn, Incertus, Iscariota), also in co-operation with other labels like Voice Music (Hammathaz). But there is also an album edited under the auspices of Selfmadegod Records (Dira Mortis) while other 2 were self-released by the same bands (Ireful, Gnida).

And now, so let's go to discover the bands!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #40: Maggoth/Inverted Mind/Sandbreaker/Cadaveric Possession/Aggressive Mutilator

Hey totally crazy, demented and exploited maniacs,

there is a new "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" episode to read. It's all about some of the albums that Mythrone Promotion sent me time ago in CD format. 2 of them were released by Defense Records (Maggoth and Inverted Mind) while the other 2 by Mythrone Prom itself in collaboration with other labels since the debut album of Sandbreaker was co-released with the same Defense Records and Free Joy Stereo while the split album between Cadaveric Possession and Aggressive Mutilator was edited along with Bestial Invasion Records.

There will be other 2 episodes of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" dedicated to Mythrone Prom in the following days to come since ultimately I received a lot of albums from it. They will be 2 of the last articles I'll publish here because, after them, Timpani allo Spiedo will finish its activities, as I explained on this article.

But meanwhile, let's go to discover the bands!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #36: Irdorath/Exit/Velkhanos

Hey ultra-bangers (in these last times I am inventing every form of greeting haha!),

I received in May 2020 a 4-album pack from Art Gates Records but I am listening to them only in these days. Of them, you will not find "Soulcrifice" by Lined, that will be into another episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss".

Hey brutal bangers,

welcome to a new episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss", that this time is particularly rich because it contains even 8 different bands, with some of them that I received from the British press agency Imperative PR and another one from the Italian Anubi Press. It was since April of this year that I didn't publish a so long episode!

Between the aforementioned 8 bands, there is a connection: in some ways, they show an hardcore punk attitude, so to range from classic hc tunes to the grindcore massacre, to crust punk but without forgetting a bit of thrash metal mania.

And so, let's start to read this article and enjoy it!

What awaits you is a selection of death metal bands coming from Italy, to Australia, that usually conceive their genre of reference with a lot of violence but without forgetting to create some dark or somehow bizzarre atmospheres, as you'll see soon.

So, enjoy the following bands and listen to their sonic murders!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #31: Grid/Sanity Control/Antipathic/Diabolic Oath

I received a lot of stuff in these last months and I am "forced" to talk about many releases in a fast way, so here you are another episode with "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss"!

I advise you that this new episode, as you will see soon, starts violently and closes even ultra-violently, so I suggest you to be very prepared this time!

Well, are you ready? Yes or not, LET'S GO!!!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #28: From Hell/Kaw/Soul Collector/Reanimator

Hey brutal bangers,

after the first digital pack from VladPromotion, the following bands are other ones I received always from this Polish promoter. This time the selection is more various because, as you'll see soon, it ranges from punk rock'n'roll to horror metal... and to the usual thrash metal madness that's typical for Vlad.

No words are necessary, so go already to the action and enjoy this new appointment with "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss"!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #27: Rawfoil/Coyote Bad Trip/Xenos/Martial Law

Hey brutal bangers,

in these last days I have a lot of thrash metal to listen to like never before in the history of this 'zine! This is also due to promotion agencies like the Polish VladPRomotion, that sometime ago sent me tons of thrash metal holocaust.

So, this new episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" is totally focused on some bands I received from Vlad. I've got the "little" impression that you thrash maniacs, thanks to my precious suggestions, will have a lot of interesting stuff useful to destroy your own ears in the imminent future hehe!

But now stop with this annoying introduction and let's start to know the bands!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #26: Starbynary/Flat Earth Society/Morbid Death

Hey brutal bangers,

this new episode with "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" (no reviews, no votes, just mentions) is a little bit particular because it sees three bands that, ranging from power metal (POWER METAL? Oooooh yes!) to metalcore, interpret their own genres with a progressive and experimental approach. In addition, I received their albums through their label, the Spanish Art Gates Records, as shown, for example, with "Metal in the Box #2".

Expect to be surprised in EVERY LINE of this article!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #25: Mastemey/Sandbreaker/Железный Поток

Hey brutal bangers,

welcome to a new episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss", that is totally focused on some albums that I received many months ago by Mythrone Promotion. To say the entire truth, it sent me recently a new pack of albums that I initially received in digital format during the fuckin' quarantine. But, for the moment, discover the albums (and their bands) presented in this article. Ranging from death/doom metal to thrash metal, I am sure that they will not disappoint you!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #22: Blind Ride/Slow Jams

Hey brutal bangers,
sorry if the 'zine is very little active in these days but I am a lot busy to prepare a hardcore punk compilation-benefit to support financially the Trecentosessantagradi, the punk venue in Rome, in which I attended many live gigs, that today risks to be closed due to the effects of the fuckin' quarantine!
Anyway, today I found the time to write a new episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss", that is about two interesting hardcore punk bands: Blind Ride and Slow Jams. Actually, I talked about them on "Timpani allo Spiedo on YouTube #2" (yes, if you still know nothing, the 'zine is now also on YouTube hehe!) but, for me, it will be a pleasure to talk again about these bands in this article.
So, let's start with...

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #20: Trespasser/Gaylord/Scream3Days/Vendetta Fucking Metal/Hanormale/Nordjevel/Architectural Genocide/Soul Dragger

Hey brutal bangers,

I wrote no articles even since 17th April, so it's time to do a big episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss"! Hence, I'll present you today 8 very interesting bands ranging from the anarchist and anti-fascist black metal to metalcore, so I covered many extreme metal genres in this episode.

But now you have a lot to read, so don't waste other time and let's start with the bands!

ENJOY THE ARTICLE!!!

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #19: Anifernyen/Humanart/Ruach Raah

Hey brutalbangers,

I remember that once Portugal seemed to not have so many good bands, and one can say that its only relevant band was Moonspell  and that's it. But, during these last years, its metal scene exploded a lot, exposing very talented bands especially in the black metal (Black Circle, anyone?) and thrash metal genres, and many of them, like Toxik Attack or Black Cilice, are now definitely into my insatiable heart of metalhead always ready to fall in love with fresh music.

So, needless to say, this new episode of "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" (no reviews, no votes, only "honorable mentions") is entirely focused on some of the 2019 Portuguese black metal albums that I received during these last months. So, you'll have other amazing stuff to listen to in this time of forced quarantine.

ENJOY THE ARTICLE and THE BANDS!!!
