Tampertronics Oh my God, we're having a fire... sale. Oh, the burning! It burns me!
This is some seriously good introspective 2nd wave concept-EP madness. Low slung, high concept, ass-kicking, baleful BM realness of the highest order. Fave song is Prelude cos I'm a sucker for strings, but the whole album is fire. Literally. If you don't buy this you're a Motherboy. Favorite track: Prélude.

Kenstrosity Just like the first release Samhain Ceremonies, Matches shows a band with the creative flair to take black metal and elevate it into fresh territory, and dangerous enough to please the purist. Favorite track: Matches.

Kvelercrocs I don't know what's hotter - the album cover or Matches. Scolding hot black metal baby. Get on it. Favorite track: Matches.

Matches 05:21
cold dark starve crawl stumble through streets in rags on blood red feet fat Christian frauds watch vagrants starve while they feast cold dark starve crawl father's shadow behind you as you freeze church doors barred shut this warmth not for You I am the picture of misery Shivering with cold and hunger The day is New Year's Eve Alone I will die in this darkened street cold dark starve crawl

Visions 04:04
crawling between houses the past flies by my eyes Is this where I will die? I light up a match crawling between houses the past flies by my eyes Is this where I will die? I light up a match the flame flickers out the church lit up with lights the smell of fresh cooked goose Is this where I will die? church bells ring church bells ring

Arson 07:19
Dead! Smile! Illusion of Salvation A crowd gathers around the corpse A spectacle Of Suffering Performative Compassion My blood boils with fiery rage Look what your god has done A flame extinguished in his grace Look at what your God gas done A young girls life been laid to waste Momentary Tragedy Instantly Forgetten As they return to their homes The glimming fireplaces Smiles on their faces as they sing The song of auld Lang Syne a celebration for what was Their cups are filled with wine Look at what Your God Has Done My hatred is unmatched At that moment in my mind A plan begins to hatch Fire for Fire An Eye for an Eye Fire for Fire An Eye for an Eye Now Every One Of Their Homes Shall Burn In a Blaze of Vengeance She Will Return I Take This Match And Light The Fire I Sit And Watch The Flames Go Higher and Higher They dance a jig As they´re set aflame Rolling on the ground A pathetic display their limbs wriggle in pain Beautiful Charring of Flesh Everything turns to ash Whats left to burn? Church! Burn! Church! Burn! The Church must burn!

about

The year draws to a close and the winter holidays are traditionally supposed to bring families together to celebrate emotional warmth and human connections. Many of us don´t feel that way. Many of us feel especially lonely during this time. In a way, the 'Matches EP' was made with that feeling in mind.

'Matches EP' retells the story of Hans Christian Andersens "Little Match Girl", but without the dishonest, nauseating christian overtones. A little girl died because people who had it better didn´t help her. Her suffering cannot be justified by the promise of a nonexistent heaven. The only choice is revenge.

Fire for Fire. An Eye for an Eye.

about

Caprae Idolum Duisburg, Germany

A demonic voice whispered to one lone man. "If you make it, they will come." The voice refused to elaborate and left.

Yet, the work got done. Caprae Idolum is black metal fueled by the malevolent spirits of the season. Collaborators came, as the voice promised.

Spontaneous musical rituals, exhaustive writing sessions. Music materialised from the void. Black fucking metal.
