Maybe this is right place to post it... Band asked me to post this info, help them, they are good guys and you can trust them; ------------------------------------ Crypts of Despair DEBUT ALBUM | Indiegogo The people behind the music We are a three-piece death metal band called Crypts of Despair. The band consists of Jonas (bass & vocals), Dovydas (guitar & vocals) and Simonas (drums). We started rehearsing back in 2009 and our first show was in 2011. Since then we have been performing live on a regular basis all over the country and hope that 2013 will be the year our music crosses Lithuanian boarders. This is where we need help. In 2012 we recorded our debut album. Everything was just about ready for the public, but due to forces beyond our control there is no more debut album. This year we hope to re-record our debut album and release it to the public. With help from You, we can have a second chance at bringing our music to people outside the local scene. This album might just help us get noticed elsewhere and get shows outside of the country. Funding distribution The estimated ammount of money is 850€. This money will go to the recording, mixing and mastering of the record. Also, any remaining funds will go to printing promo CDs which we intend to send to record labels and media representatives. If the campaign fails to meet the expectations, we will try to compensate the remainder by ourselves. Perks As our way of thanking you for your donations, we have prepared some perks. From simple stuff as a digital download to CDs, band merch and other goodies! What it means to us Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated! We are a band of young musicians who just want to play the music we love and hope our music reaches more and more people. The band's only goal and rule is do what you love and have fun doing it. It's literally tons of fun to go on the road, hang out with other musicians, our fans (who sometimes even become our friends), and we don't want anything to stop us! We've already achieved a lot - we've played countless shows all over Lithuania, participated and won many battle of the bands-type contests and recieved generally high reviews from the local metal community and it's media. However, we don't want to stop just now. We've taken the leap, all we need is a little boost. This record may just break the first barrier towards our dream! Money isn't the only thing we need! Since the band started our only promotion was word of mouth. No spamming, no ad campaigns. If you cannot contribute, you can always share our campaign, link it to friends who might find our cause interesting. Share, link, tweet - any and all help will be apreciated! Thank You for taking the time! Crypts of Despair DEBUT ALBUM | Indiegogo Here are few samples of COD:

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
