Whoredom Rite brings us "Den Vrede Makt" a song from their new album which was recently reviewed in this zine which starts out with some clean playing before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is heavily rooted in the classic Nordic tradition as well as being very long and epic in length.
Death Like Mass brings us "Sorcery Unbridles" which starts out with a very heavy and old school sound while also adding in some grim black metal screams.
