First of April? Is that some kind of a joke? Well it ain't. While all of MS had a delightful April's fools time, I was moving home, so I was late and tired when I finally arrived at the Connexion Café, a venue in Toulouse's town center. Less than 200 people (I guess) showed up on this sunday evening, but the mood was good and the audience quite reactive - for Textures at last, as you'll see. The sound was correct but not awesome (unsurprisingly, it didn't really do justice to Uneven Structure's more ambiant parts), thankfully is was no muddy shit either. (by Darkside Momo) Read more ›› |

After 2 successful one-day editions, the PPM fest - for Prog Power & Metal - has grown bigger this year and consisted of a 3 days indoor festival. Or rather 2.5 days since it started at 5pm on Friday. Yet the formula stayed the same, alternating between 2 stages placed at opposite ends of the exposition hall with bands getting bigger with time. This time the bar was perfectly placed in the middle of the venue while independent food stands were outside along with a few merch stands (official band merch stands were inside). A very nice setting, especially since there was room for everybody and that... (by wrathchild) Read more ›› |

Alkerdeel - Morinde (2012)
Back in 1992, Darkthrone released the first part of a trilogy of legendary albums, A Blaze In The Northern Sky. It was notorious for its riffs that recalled their past as a death metal band yet played in full black metal fashion. Now, 20 years later, one band decides to take this teaching and use it for its own depraved purposes. Beware folks, things are about to get nasty.

Gorgoroth
Gorgoroth not only refuses to publish their lyrics, but also actively suppresses any public showings of fan-written reconstructions. The reason for this suppression is not fully known, though possible reasons include the desire to prevent other bands from covering Gorgoroth material as well as the preservation of the genre's characteristic remoteness and exclusivity. While they never printed their lyrics even before Gaahl joined the band - due to Infernus' beliefs - since he joined in 1998 this stance has been cemented. As a practitioner of old Nordic Shamanism, Gaahl has expressed his belief that words instantly lose their meaning and value once written down. The metal-lyric website Darklyrics.com contains the message "Gorgoroth lyrics removed due to copyright complaint by the band," in lieu of any actual lyrics. Lyricsondemand.com displays a cease-and-desist message from Arne Beckmann of Prophecies Publishing.
