BIOGRAPHY Silenced Minstrel (age 44 years, born Saiful Nizam Shukor, 28 th March 1976) was a full time singer, songwriter musician from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Been playing music since 1991 he co-founded HALUN, a gothic black metal band back in 1996, produced several demos, one EP and one LP before the badly deformed monstrosity was laid to rest in 2015. Writing and producing mostly in his bedroom studio nicknamed “Sky Panacea Enterprise” he spent the entire 2016 gathering writing and recording materials for his debut album “Volume 1” choosing to name it as such as to not make it sounds too rockstar-ish.  “Volume 1” is a combination of melodic gothic stuff mixed with thrash, death and doom metal riffs and black metal atmosphere, utilizing the most basic of guitar effects, cheap keyboards/ synthesizers and MIDI orchestra throughout the entire album to produce something that he’d always wanted to do: anything that didn’t sound like his former band! The album is completed in September but it be long after the production of the second album was underway when that album graced the scene... The second album “Volume 2” saw some maturity in his songwriting, the MIDI orchestra part ditched altogether and it also saw a fair amount of rough edges deliberately highlighted in the mix, and a lot more gothic atmosphere throughout than before especially in the lyrics department, where he wrote songs about the occult, immortality, vampirism and forbidden love between the mortal and the damned, also some cryptic poetic inclinations thrown to the mix just for the heck of it. The third album “Volume 3” saw him moving ever closer towards a more melodic black metal sound than the old one, this time the long ditched MIDI orchestra element restored along with some double-layered bass guitar tracks and even gloomier atmosphere than before, reflecting the state of his mind, body, spirit and environment that he’s at during that period of time; with traces of anger, hatred, betrayal and vengeance gracing every song in the album (he fully recovered from his decade long clinical depression that same year). The fourth album “Volume 4” saw him disposing of all the gothic melodic stuff and straight into just vocals guitars bass and drums, trying to go as dry and as harsh as he can, tackling on darker themes like deviant spirituality, Satanism, atheism, philosophy and dark fantasy. Fast tempo is the name of the game; the drums gained more prominence and absolutely no melodic stuff present on this album. The fifth album “Volume 5” saw the further development of sound and direction from the previous album, adding also an orchestral style instrumental black metal song as the last track of the album, a song that hearkens back to his old days in HALUN. The artist is currently occupied promoting his new album, gathering materials for the sixth album and also working on his other band “Shadowed Grace” playing New Age Scifi Fantasy Instrumental Synthesizer music. Silenced Minstrel is unsigned and is looking for exposure, a recording contract and developing fanbases all across the globe.

Acherontia Styx - Shadow & Flame - Reviewed By Necromance! - @thebeast

Acherontia Styx - Shadow & Flame - Reviewed By Necromance ! check it out here at this link: http://necromance.eu/acherontia-styx-gbr-shadow-flame/ "Shadow & Flame" is the debut album by the English ACHERONTIA STYX , released by the young London label Dwarrowdelf Records (DINENTHAL, FRACTURED PLANET, DTS OVERDRIVE) last September. Little more than a year has passed, since their EP "Your Possible Pasts", which contained four songs, although they have had a handful of singles releases, before and after it (perhaps little baggage to have formed since 2007, it seems indicate). Their modern-style melodic death metal certainly has contemporary influences, but it can satisfy the appetites of fans who like the genre in general and are not too purist. Proof of this, are the registers of their voices (old school guttural classic), as a whole they are always brutal and although at certain times, they combine choppy times with clean guitars, intensity and aggressiveness are a fact. "Pleasures of her Flesh" is his business card, it contains all these commented elements and great changes of pace. The central body of the album, composed of the cuts “Scorned”, in which they receive the collaboration, of the Dutch vocalist Linn Liv (PICTURA POESIS / CYANIDE PARADISE), “Eyes of Glass” and “As Above so Below”, enjoy which are probably the best moments of this “Shadow & Flame”, without forgetting the ending “She Begs for More” either. They also house touches of Groove metal or progressive mixing with the aforementioned melody, in terms of the lyrics, ACHERONTIA STYX is made up of Grant Crossan on lead vocals (apparently all other members are equally involved in that field), Paul Taylor on bass, Adam Ashbridge on guitars (the latter have handled production duties in addition to much of the compositions) and Jake Burden on drums. Fifty minutes and ten songs wrapped in a powerful sound, a melodic death metal that can sometimes remind you of bands like THE HAUNTED, ARCH ENEMY, LAMB OF GOD ... If they are among your musical tastes, give this good British quartet a chance. 7/10 For fans of Arch Enemy, Soilwork, Killswitch Engage, At The Gates Haling from Northern England , Acherontia Styx bring multiple creative influences to the table. Their core sound is steeped in 90s Groove and Death Metal , with individual members bringing a host of external flavors into the mix including PROG, GRIND and FUNK . The result is a melodic and emotional Metal masterpiece laden with catchy hooks, ferocious rhythms and solos that are bordering on genius. The band launch a 3 pronged lyrical attack on the listener, with vocal and writing duties shared between Grant, Jake and Paul, over compositions primarily written by the phenomenal writing team of Adam Ashbridge and Paul Taylor. For the month of July in 2019, the band destroyed the polls at The Battle Of The Bands on Metal Devastation Radio , gathering 6,738 votes from fans all over the world! Check it out HERE ! Acherontia Styx did an interview with The Thunderhead Show in 2019 which can be listened to HERE! The follow up to last years acclaimed debut " Your Possible Pasts " has already generated a wealth of stunning press comments and media support following the singles " As Above So Below ", a brutal slice of Old School Death Metal mastery, and " Blackened Serenade ", a highly emotional Melo-Death showcase of the bands depth in talent. The addition of these final tracks to the press folder marks the completion of the album, after production stalled due to recent world events. Check out this video!

Vile Cynic - Agony - Reviewed By Metal Temple ! Check it out here at this link: http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/v_2/vile-cynic-agony.htm From Chicago, Illinois a new metal band that combines the aggressions of Thrash metal and the macabre of Death Metal, and on  August 1st, 2020 VILE CYNIC released a four track E.P. entitled "Agony" following the band’s initial June 3rd, 2019 release of a four track E.P. entitled “Sovereigns of Death”. “Tools of the Tormentor” - the initial album track begins with Angelo Hakey utilizing a yell as an eighth note (pick-up note) before the band is heard immediately in progress of a perfect thrash upheaval. “On th’ other side up rose” Jake Banjeglav “in act more graceful and humane; a fairer sprit lost not Heav’n (Paradise Lost / II /  111/ John Milton)” whose guitar solo begins at one minute fifty-five seconds, and is beautifully mellifluous with a haunting allure - enduring about twenty seconds;  before completion, Jake Meditz & A.J. Miller combine the rhythm and bass together in a sound of which I cannot hear enough:  they’ve been utilizing this sonority at various points throughout the song–but here it resounds in pure & perfect uninterrupted hate. It is wrong of me to abstain from accrediting Tim Titus - who jumped into this release feet first.  Without his ability & style, the band wouldn’t & could’t create this musical perfection.  After an initial hearing of this, listen once again as the guitar solo finishes; if you don’t break the first two objects you see, I’ll curtsy you. “Blood Eagle” is the second album track. he thrash-brutality of the dual Jake Meditz & Jake Banjeglav guitar sounds propelled by Tim Titus & A.J. Miller are the non-pareil of metal. The immensely of the rhythm sound and feel as the band moves to the II Chord (second fret - F#) but then accents via the up beat on the Chromatic F encourages the listeners to kick (hopefully the air - but if you must break something, I won’t tattle).   At about two minutes twenty five seconds–the guitar and bass again combine into a furious sound–while the drums (fist just before your face–but Tim Titus will not hit you; rather, he kicks your __ with his feet). After Jake Banjeglav  completes more of his magical allure, the key moves back to the II Chord again as the listener’s fists clench through the upbeat chromatic accents. As I reach the third album track, “Hell Priest”,  I find myself in love: “high heels over head if you know what I mean”;  like the music of J.S. BACH–that is inclusive of the best that others do, yet VILE CYNIC does it better. They remove the pretensions of unnecessary speed yet add the viciousness and ferocity of death metal. The allure of Jake Banjeglav’s melodious leads is both innovative & enthralling.  Tim Titus drives us to the song end with a death rolling groove. “An End to Agony” - the fourth & final track has a seethingly heavy riff centered upon A.J. Miller’s bass.  The rhythm guitar doubles it as it pounds along the pedal route - that roll with a chromatic pull-off at the octave.   The bass-drum fills of Tim Titus are speedy, groovin’, & quick. At thirty five seconds- the entire band sustains two beat rest - which finds home at the slower tempo of the song’s motivic head.   The bass together with the rhythm guitar resume that vicious,  furious–even sinister sound before     At four minutes ten seconds, Jake Banjeglav’s singing leads are accompanied with drum and bass to the song end–shortly prior to which sporadic rhythm guitar accompanies the remaining session. VILE CYNIC has something to play; and when you hear them, you’re sure to not only listen but react. Again I hope to see other viewers tune in to the December 27th 2020 premiere of Blood Moon’s Lyric Video. Songwriting: 10 Musicianship: 10 Memorability: 10 Production: 10 For fans of: The Absence, Skeletonwitch, Iron Maiden, Vital Remains Chicago-based Vile Cynic have recently released their latest EP, Agony.
