Bio:

ENTHRONED:

"ENTHRONED was formed in 1993 and plays extreme Black Metal.

The band released a 5-track promo tape in mid 1994 which brought them to the attention of several independent labels. A 7” split EP with Ancient Rites was then released by the underground label Afterdark Records. After the demise of Afterdark, Evil Omen Records (a sub-division of Osmose Productions) released ENTHRONED's first full-length release, Prophecies of Pagan Fire. Shortly thereafter, the band enlisted a second guitarist named Nornagest.
Since the release of their first demo, ENTHRONED have always nurtured their live reputation. They have shared the stage with the biggest acts of the BM scene. In 1996, along with Ancient Rites and Bewitched, ENTHRONED invades Europe with an extensive tour.
In April 1997, as they were about to record Towards the Skullthrone of Satan, the drummer Cernunnos took his life. This was without a doubt a heavy blow to the remaining members, but in true ENTHRONED style, the band went ahead to record the new album in memory of Cernunnos, after having recruited a session drummer.
At the close of 1988, the band entered Abyss Studios to give birth to The Apocalypse Manifesto. This third album was released in May 1999. No other title could better reflect the intensity of this satanic masterpiece, which dealt with the biblical concept of the Apocalypse as interpreted by the strict satanic perspective. ENTHRONED rounded off the 20th Century on tour with Marduk and continued to take European crowds by storm with several live performances.

2000 was a busy year for ENTHRONED. The band parted ways with Nebiros and recruited Neraath as their new axeman, who then successfully passed his trial by fire on a German mini tour followed by several other European shows and the recording of Armoured Bestial Hell in the Real Sound Studio (Germany).
This fourth album was released in April 2001. Unfortunately, the band was to endure another line up change. Blackthorn was released from his duties and was worthily replaced by Alsvid from the French black metal band, Seth.
Nevertheless, ENTHRONED continued to play many live gigs in and around Europe, as well as in the US.
In early 2002, ENTHRONED signed to NAPALM RECORDS releasing their fifth full-length recording effort, Carnage in Worlds Beyond, later that year.
In 2005, Enthroned released their first official live album, Black Goat Ritual, recorded during their successful tour in Brazil. After desecrating several stages and festivals, some problems occurred within the band and ENTHRONED asked their long time vocalist Sabathan to leave the band, Nornagest taking over the vocals and recruiting Phorgath on bass duties.
In June 2007, ENTHRONED recorded their seventh and most accomplished album Tetra Karcist, seeing the Integration of new drummer Ahephaim . At the dawn of 2008, Enthroned signed a new allegiance with Sweden’s Regain Records which lead to an extensive & successful European tour with Gorgoroth extending to South & latin america as headliner. In 2009, ex-Gorgoroth drummer Garguf replaced Ahephaim on drums and Neraath took his old position back in ENTHRONED, leading the way for the up comming apocalypse named: Pentagrammaton.
The whole concept of "Pentagrammaton" deals with direct approach: a warmer sound, natural drums, heavy guitars for a lyrical concept based on lived experiences and facts, somehow something very personal lets say!
This next opus is more extreme, surprising, dark and filthy!
This new album will be released on the 10th march but the CD will be already available at the release party.



EMPTINESS:

Ever since its creation in 1998, Emptiness has gradually evolved into becoming a reference in the belgian Underground Metal Scene. The band always showed their ability to write some surprising material with diversity and maturity pushing music boundaries far beyond traditional black/death metal.
After the release of a couple of demos the band recorded its first album in 2003: 'Guilty to exist' (Painkiller Records).
Several line up changes happened, and Emptiness came back in 2007 with a new approach of their root underground sound. The second album 'Oblivion' is released at the polish label Agonia records.
All members of the band have experience as musicians in such bands as Enthroned,Emptiness, Bloodshot, E-invoked, Manic movement, and more...' s aim now is to move one step further towards wider recognition, and full opportunity to spread their sound.




PSALM:

PSALM is an extreme metal band hailing from Brussels, Belgium. A powerful mix between a solid black metal basis and some death metal and thrash/power metal elements propels them at the forefront of the Belgian extreme metal scene. Their overall original and modern approach draws them close to such bands as Keep Of Kalessin and Behemoth, while maintaining their very own characteristics.
The band started out in early 2004 but was only completed at the end of that year. Psalm soon decided to record a first and self-titled E.P., which came out around January/February 2005. The band also began playing shows wherever they could to spread the word out. During July 2005, a video was shot for track “Butterfly Suicide”. Early 2006, PSALM had enough material to record their first album, and headed for Austin Enterprise studios (USA) to record “Fortune’s Complexity (In Five Cycles Of Torments)” with Steve Austin himself (Today Is The Day-mogul, worked by bands such as Lamb Of God, Converge,…), taking care of the mixing and the pre-mastering as well. “Fortune’s Complexity” was released on Genet Records in June 2006, and is a fierce mix of chaotic elements, metalcore and modern influences. After huge line-up changes, PSALM decided to modify their musical orientation to fit their members’ influences better and thus took a very extreme turn. During November/December 2007, they recorded the E.P. “Manifest”, a much more coherent and relentless effort, at the infamous CCR Studio. Until today, PSALM has played with bands like THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER,DESPISED ICON, ABORTED, AMEN RA, CALIBAN, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, LENG TCH’E, NEAERA, MUNICIPAL WASTE, TOXIC HOLOCAUST and many others. The band is constantly seeking out new show opportunities so don’t hesitate to contact them !

[_____lord_____]

Bougez vos cul, c'est ce soir !!!

RDV à BXL

[VOLKHVA]

gggrrrr! alors vos impressions! je n ai pas pu venir!! meme si j ai déjà vu Enthroned deux fois ça me troue bien le cul!!

[_____lord_____]

Rapidement...

PSALM : Alors, peut-être que c'est très bien, mais moi, perso, pas mon trip... je passe mon tour !!!

EMPTINESS : Que dire... Par où commencer ??? ENORME... Les compos, d'une complexité extrêmes, sont restituées par un groupe carré, venu d'une autre galaxie. Pas de fioritures. Un set excellent !!! Le seul défaut ??? Trop court !!!
Même si mon propos en choquera plus d'un, j'ai coutume de dire (dans un registre différent) qu'en France, il y a Gojira (pas que hein !!!), en Belgique, il y a Emptiness... Quelle énergie !!!

ENTHRONED : Bien évidement, l'audience est dévolue à la cause, et quelle cause !!! Un show de qualité, mystique !!!
Les nouveaux morceaux sonnent très "heavy", et sont très efficaces...
Que dire de plus ??? 100% Enthroned, black metal from Hellgium !!!
2 petits détails : Nornagest au chant, sans guitare durant tout le set, et la venue de Sabathan, l'ancien vocaliste (actuel Dawn of Crucifixion) pour un morceau au chant.
