#MAGIC SWORD BAND CAMP FULL#

Hobo Magic have recently toured Japan and New Zealand along with landing European label deals with Kozmik Artifactz/Oak Island Records and distribution through Cargo Records, having also entered the major domestic festival circuit appearing at Falls Festival, Big Pineapple Music Festival, Jungle Love, Dead of Winter Festival, Mojo Burning, River Rocks, CherryFest and many more. The acclaimed act has supported such International heavyweights as Radio Moscow, Earthless, Elder, Lecherous Gaze, Red Fang, Kadavar, Nick Oliveri, Truckfighters and The Sword, leaving ringing ears and smiling faces in their wake with a 2020 view to forge new pathways through Europe and beyond. The talented trio surge with a cyclonic riff energy, spawned from the embers of the kings that riffed before them, taking the listener on a journey through uncharted places of the mind.ДЄfter a successful debut self-titled release (when the band were just 16 years old) and follow up debut album 'The World TodayвЂ™ which sold over 1000 vinyls worldwide, Hobo Magic have dominated AustraliaвЂ™s scene,В relentlesslyВ ripping out their style of heavy groove mayhem over the last decade.

Celestial Sword will keep themselves busy with new material over several releases: two splits with Adrasteia and Faceless Spectre on His Wounds this summer with other splits as well as a new full-length to follow.Hailing from the the sereneВ beaches of AustraliaвЂ™s 'Sunshine Coast', HOBO MAGIC sling out a unique brand of old-school inspired psychedelic Rock'n'Roll madness with a love of all things groovy and heavy. Erzfeydn have another split (this time a 7вЂќ with Rraaumm) on Van Records coming out on the same day as well as their first EP very soon. This is not all we will hear from the bands soon either. Throughout different formats and media, their devotion to dark night and blood prevails.Д®rzfeynd / Celestial Sword split 12вЂќ will be out on Dybbuk Productions on the 30 th of April. Following their previous releases that were only on tape so far, this might not be the debuting material for the band but their first output on vinyl. With their songs on the black magic, night, and the moon, Celestial Sword are for those who are into the modern bands following the raw black metal side of 90s with an atmospheric, hypnotic flair. Back to completely their own material this time, and with multiple tracks of shorter length, they are treading the same path regardless. This is a continuation of their journey that started with the 2020 full-length, and followed by two long-form collaboration songs. ErzfeyndвЂ™s actual black metal sound channels that storytelling feeling of Summoning much more than all those synth driven вЂњalmostвЂќ black metal bands ever could.Д¬elestial Sword, on the other side of the split, have a sharper and rawer approach to the point.

Samples and synths are used moderately and tastefully to add to the atmosphere. Long song structure allows them to be small journeys with a clear beginning, a build-up, a climax, and the ending.

But what they can bring to the table that many other new black metal bands fail is an actual fully realized artistic creation: the band, all the concepts, and narrative (in German and not English, so appreciating the full extent might hit a language barrier) together result in a passionately crafted band.Д®ven without looking at the full concept, it is easy to hear the good parts of the music: there is great use of layered vocals and guitar parts: cold shrieks, clean-like vocals, and harsher lines are layered on top of each other just as well as different guitar melodies and leads are used at the same time. You can hear the appreciation to 90s German black metal bands or early Abigor and Summoning.

The general area Erzyfend would fall in is 90s early European black metal with its epic touches: sharp and cold vocals, addition of synths, repetitive use of guitar riffs.

Thankfully, in this case, we hear some actually exciting music even with an old sound. It is not an easy thing to put something of your own into the mix. Playing an вЂњold soundвЂќ as a new band has pitfalls majority of the black metal projects cannot avoid вЂ“ more often than not they will just turn out to be taking in the style and aesthetics but falling short on actual creative musical content. Erzfeynd, even though they are a new band, come with all that 90s carried.
