Order of Orias is another good example of what we at Black Metal Universe like to say: there are plenty of quality bands out there waiting to be discovered! Songs like "Sins of the Father" and "Cursed Revenant" are what we like to hear,full of energy and solid as fuck riffs plus one of the most extreme drumming we heard recently - brutal yet technical and precise,compared only to the Swedes Deviant (another great band you must hear) at our humble opinion. As for Bloodgasm too,just if the production was a little better... Give Order of Orias a listen,they totally deserve your attention!

A little Death Metal for a change - the samples at the beginning of the songs add a lot to this release which also features guitars varying from heavily distorted to fuzzy and a real good drumming session including even progressive/fusion themes except the typical blast beats.Plus the well performed (mostly grinding vocals) this album is really a pleasing one - just if the production was a little better...

We're for sure not the right people to criticize DIS albums as they were always one of our major obsessions... Aaron (the sole man behind DIS) is a true mastermind! Still consider his first work "Opus 1" as his finest - complex,aggressive & heavy as fuck riffing,atmospheric & sometimes bizarre keyboards,ultra fast & accurate well sounding drum machine along with a 5-star rated production (which has something to do with Aaron studying computer science) make a real killer album - & the lyrics are a plus too =) Give DIS a listen,you will be glad you did!

First full length of this amazing but unfortunately lesser known Italian band... 6 way talented musicians capable of producing literally every kind of music! "The Melting Idols" may don't reach the heights of "Waltzing Mephisto" or "The Blow of Furious Winds" but contains two of their best songs, "Luciferian Twilight" and the 15 minute epic self titled track - do yourselves a favor and get to know a really quality group =)

A compilation containing 2003's "Music for Falling Buildings" and 2004's "Red Steeples" demos - roughly described as hypnotic Black Metal but yet so much more... Mysterious dark textures,weird yet melodic passages & muddy vocals altogether blend to make probably the best "trip" soundtrack! Along with "Genevieve" their best works.
