Black trinity - In this black thrashing night of infernal hell

As you can see i am a man of my words...
I promised black trinity and black trinity it is... (read also the previous post)
Black trinity are a "traditional" old-school black metal (or primitive black metal carnage) band and with the term traditional i mean all the influences that some crusties can get from the first two waves of the norwegian black metal... Clearly Darkthrone fans with the "transylvanian hunger" elements shining as the burning sun of a dry summer in kenya but also some more mid-tenpo parts to remind me a hybrid of "the cult is alive" and bathory's bathory (or not?)...
Add some satanic threat and darkthrone t-shirts and you have the picture...
Here you get their first full lenght release that comes as a cd(-r?)...
Check the bands blog for infos and stuff

total havoc

It certainly is not common to have black metal releases amongs the DIY punk movement (in the shithole pit of greece at least), let alone good ones!!!

(The) Black Trinity hail from the northern part of the (not so) infernal country of greece, from Thessaloniki to be more specific. They are four punks (fuck this whole corpse painting bullshit, and the whole ''I am evOl, but please don't kick my ass'' attitude most ''evol'' black metallers have these days!) and their sound is heavily influenced by the first (mostly) and second wave of norwegian black metal (a true university of its kind...). Think of early Darkthrone, but my ear picks up hints that remind of Leviathan (''Massive conspiracy against all life'' era) in the guitar, and some punky moments equivalent of the (also) punky black metallers Ravencult (also from the shithole pit of greece)...

This is pretty close to the roots of black metal, a path many bands have steared away from, either serving mostly polished orchistrical metal garbage, either copying the more modern Orthodox Black Metal style (not to be confused with orthodox christianity, as seen in shithole pit of greece)..though cheaply. The production is clearly raw, but very, very listenable, with the addition of some noise and some ambience here and there to strengthen the atmospheric feeling.

A promising new band (consisting members of Go Filth Go! and Dyspnea if I am not mistaken..both bands worth a listen, or more...), that gives a great live performance. You can get their DIY self-released record by contacting them through: theblacktrinity (a) yahoo.gr

Antimob, Uptight bastard, Black trinity, Go filth go - Live review

As i said in the previous post i was for three days in thessaloniki, and the main reason was to see antimob and uptight bastard(s) to destroy some serious live stages...
So, i packed my good friend ig. at my backbag and we started for this journey (through the dark). Thesal was a so called "igloo" or freezer with temperatures go down at zero celcious...
But, on saturday night some sweat was running around viologiko's stage...
As an "opening act' we saw black trinity (i'll post their first album tomorrow i think), a well-played old-school black metal wind surrounded us as long as black trinity was hitting the stage.. Fast "transylvanian hunger" parts alongside mid-paced katsa (or kaca) crust parts to explode our fucking minds... they played also a cover of bathory's "sacrifice"... No bullshit black metal attitude...
After that, my new personal favourite band antimob was ready to unleash the(ir) fury...
D-bill (yeah, right.. this blog's favourite man and vinyl judger also) took-off his shirt as always and i knew that a blast will come out the speakers... Manic drum hitting monster gave the leads to his other comrades... Old-school dog Stathis was vomiting his lungs out and the crowd started the erotic shaking... the sound was not so good with the guitars to be a little bit fuzzy but you can't have all the pie in this life... Drop virus has been also solid in his bass lines... they played also a cover of bathory's "sacrifice"... HEHEHE... coincidence?
Highlight : the drunken crush of the guitarist and respective owner of mountza fanzine(the love-handled drunkard with the beer belly and the guitar is a mountza shareholder, not owner (as he likes to think.HEHEHE... cheers, P.) on d-bill's drumkit... HEHEHe...
Third in the row was (or were) Uptight bastard that by far was the best band of that night...
Totally drunk and speedy as hell managed to perform the ultimate live experience...
A tone of beer cans has been on their way to the band for at least 45 minutes and their bassist (well-known as president) fought all the time with the crowd, his ass was one fire (no-kidding) twice and drop virus painted him with a satanist cross on his head. and a lot of 666 on his body, hehehe... Their monolithic d-beat alongside crusty rock'n'roll made the work perfect and the crowd never stopped moshing, poging, and all the ings...
Last on the "bill" was DISCLOSE (or just their clones that will release an official cassete instead of vinyl... (oc)cult....)of greece (or kotzi city, tzapan), GO filth go that played almost an hour all the crazy noisy raw punk tunes of Closecore... They also played a cover of the best disclose track "once the war started" ...
g.f.g is the same band with black trinity except the drummer part (vocalist of terrorismo musical plays drums for them)
Once the gig ended we gathered our excausted bodies to drink some more beers and finally to get some sleep...
What a live concert... Cheers...
