It's never too late! In fact, Juanjo Pérez aka Kasky Svart (ex-Human Carnage), in July 2018, contacted me after reading my review about his friends in Moribundo. He proposed me to review the debut album of his new band called The Last Oblation and, obviously and considering their genre, I said yes without any hesitations. So, here is the review about the self-produced "Ante Ruinam", that the band, founded as a one-man project in 2016, released in the shape of a duo comprising also the singer Dani Torres aka Dani Kraken.

Se ben ricordate, nel live report del Questa è Roma scrissi di aver parlato con Antonio dei Mefitica, che proprio in quell'occasione mi disse che il suo gruppo sarebbe tornato in azione, dopo 4 mesi di pausa, il 16 febbraio per una serata insieme agli Injury Broadcast, ai Galera e ai Cocks in the Hole. Ebbene, quella serata si è effettivamente concretizzata, e questo nuovo report ne è una testimonianza!

Angrrsth - "Znikąd" (Godz ov War Productions, 2018)

Band: Angrrsth
Title: Znikąd
Genre: Black Metal
Time: 28.31 min
Release Date: 1st October 2018
Rating: 71/100













In these last days I am giving a lot of space to the Polish extreme metal scene, and also this review isn't an exception to this recent trend. In particular, behind the absurd moniker of Angrrsth, there are 4 black metal maniacs from Poland that released digitally their debut EP "Znikąd" on April 2018. Some months later, Godz ov War Productions was so thrilled by the skills of Angrrsth to re-release their EP in a physical format (in CD, specifically), that I have in my hands thanks to the boss of the label. And there's something more to say: the new edition of "Znikąd" contains a bonus track in addition to the 4 original songs, so you have one more reason to buy it.

Apatheia - "Konstelacja dziur" (Godz ov War Productions, 2018)

After the death/doom metal agony by Eternal Rot, these Apatheia are another band belonging to the sulfurous roster of Godz ov War Productions. Today we'll talk about a Polish band that consists of three very young musicians so enthusiastic that they released in 2018 their debut album without producing anything before it. So, I'll present you "Konstelacja dziur".
