Cvinger/Rites Ov Flesh/Void Wanderer Productions/2026 Full Length Review

 

  Slovenia's  Cvinger  have  returned  with  a  new  recording  which  shows  the  music  going  for  an  occult  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2026  album  "Rites  Ov  Flesh"  which  will  be  released  in  August  by  Void  Wanderer  Productions.

  A  very  ritualistic  sounding  intro  starts  off  the  album  which  also  adds  in  chants  and  synths  before  going  into  a  heavier  direction.  Blast  beats  are  added  into  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  while  the  vocals  also  add  in  a  mixture  of  black  metal  screams  and  death  metal  growls  mixed  in  with  a  brief  use  of  clean  singing.

  Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  the  songs  also  add  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  also  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style,  spoken  words  can  also  be  heard  at  times.  as  well  as  one  of  the  tracks  also  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length  and  tremolo  picking  is  also  added  into  some  of  the  faster  riffing.

  On  this  recording  Cvinger  goes  for  more  of  an  occult  style  of  blackened  death  metal.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  the  ;left  hand  path  traditions  of  Slavic  and  Indian  nomadic  tribes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Cvinger  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  occult  blackened  death  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Temple  Of  The  Nine  Gates"  "To  Call  Upon  the  Bog  Spirit"  and  "Abomination".  8  out  of  10.

  Ritualistic  chants  and  synths  start  off  the  album  while  clean  playing  can  also  be  heard  briefly  before  going  into a   heavier  direction.  Clear  vocals  are  also  added  on  some  of  the  tracks  along  with  the  vocals  being  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  and  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in a  lot  of  blast b eats.

  When  tremolo  picking  is  added  into t he  faster  riffing  they  also  give  the  songs  more  of  a  raw  feeling  while  elements  of  death  metal  can  be  heard  in  some  of  the  riffing  and  growls.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to them  and t he  songs  also  add  in a   good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

  Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  one  song  also  adding  in  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  parts.  The  songs  also  mix  in  a  lot  of  old  school  influences  as  well  as  remaining  very  modern  at  the  same  time,  acoustic  guitars  and  stringed  instruments  can  also  be  heard  briefly  before  returning  back  to  a  heavier  direction.   The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  Occultism  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  album  from  Cvinger  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  occult  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Revelation  Of  The  Three  Headed  One"  "The  Winter  Night  of  The  Funeral  pyres"  "Cosmic  Realm"  and  "Chans  And  Canticle".  8  out  of  10.

Cvinger/The Enthronement Ov Diabolical/2014 CD Review

  Cvinger  are  a  band  from  Slovenia  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  plays  a  very  blasphemous  and  misanthropic  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2014  album  "The Enthronement Ov Diabolical".

  Ritualistic  sounds  and  melodic  chanting  start  off  the  album  and  after  the  intro  the  music  goes  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  black  metal  direction  along  with  brutal  blast  beats  and  grim  screams  and  you  can  hear  a  good  amount  of  blackened  death  metal  elements  in  the  bands  musical  style  and  they  also  mix  in  the  ritualistic  sounds  with  the  more  brutal  parts  at  times.

  You  can  hear  some  melodies  being  added  into  certain  sections  of  the  recording  and  they  also  give  the  songs  a  darker  edge  along  with  the  vocals  also  bringing  in  death  metal  growls  at  times  and  as  the  album  progresses  the  music  starts  bringing  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

  While  the  music  remains  true  to  the  bands  black  metal  roots  the  death  metal  influence  still  has  a  very  powerful  impact  in  all  of  the  songs  while  the  music  remains  very  dark  and  ritualistic  sounding  at  the  same  time  and  the  album  remains  mostly  in  a  brutal  and  fast  direction  throughout  all  of  the  songs  while  also  slowing  down  at  times.

  Cvinger  on  this  album  plays  a  very  fast  style  of  black  metal  and  mixes  in  a  great  amount  of  brutal  death  metal  elements  which  takes  their  music  into  a  different  direction  while  still  being  very  dark  and  blasphemous,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  for  being  a  self  released  recording  while  the  lyrics  cover  Occultism,  Dark  and  Misanthropic  themes.

  In   my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Cvinger  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  both  black  and  death  metal,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Anno  Inferni"  "Bogs  Of  the  Ancient  Ones"  "Anguish  in  Ossuary"  and  "The Enthronement Ov Diabolical".  8  out  of  10.

Cvinger Interview

1.Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have never heard of you before?
Bagot:
Blasphemy, rituals, misanthropy, hatred and dark fucking medieval darkness. We never chose to play black metal or were seeking the genre that will please us! It was already there waiting for us to conquer, or as Lucerus would say: "Slay the wolves so the goats could rise and enter the MONASTERY OF FALLEN"

2.How would you describe the musical sound that is present on both recordings?
Bagot:
Sound is more or less raw. We are not the biggest fans of new age sound productions and triggering.  Unfortunately we had to use drum replacement for kick and toms on Monastery of fallen. We tried to avoid it but we were recording guitars and drums together to maintain live feeling which affected sound kick and toms.

3.How would you describe your songwriting approach to the lyrics?
Bagot:
Lyrics are Lucesruses presentations or reflections we could say on his current state of mind. They all have deeper meanings, mostly summoned from stench of every day life. Lyrics are NOT political but you can find some similarities, since politics pretty much influence our life. As a reader you can interpret them as you want you can seek you own under lines and meanings or judge them. We don't give a shit about what black metal lyrics should be and how to write deep lyrics or just using heavy words to sound deep. I can say that Luceruses lyrics, my guitars and Krieg maschines drums are all the hatred, wrath and burden we carry, summoned together. The fucking spawn of Cvinger.

4.I know that the band is an old Slovenian word for cemetery walls for where people who committed
suicide where buried, why did you decide the use it as a band name and also how does it fit in with the
musical concept's?
Bagot:
Suicide was something unacceptable in past, people believe (and still are) that  you will go to hell if you committed suicide. It was total dishonor and it was blasphemous act. That says it all.

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your
stage performance?
Bagot:
We didn't have any gigs yet.

6. Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?
Bagot:
After we record full length album we will definitely do some touring.

7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or received any interest?
Bagot:
Yes we are looking for label. We received some interest from few small net labels but  it doesn't really help. I mean if you have a small net label and you can't provide a band with gigs, and cover at least 50% of CD press costs then what is your purposes in this business?

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of black metal?
Bagot:
I really don't know. But I read some reviews from webzines and blog spots and I got this feeling that if are not every day listener of black metal you probably won't like us.

9.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?
Bagot:
We have some new material already but I can't tell you this because even I don't know. We will see where the music will take us.

10.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you
listening to nowadays?
Bagot:
Mostly death metal.

11.How would you describe your views on Satanism and Occultism?
Bagot:
Satanism:
I think there is no real Satanism here or worldwide. I don't see burning churches and frogs falling from sky. Also LaVeyan  followers have nothing to do with satanism. I tired to read the book but never finished. If we are talking about satanism we are talking about: war on god, lust, selfishness, sacrifice, murder, hatred, eternal fire, death, rituals evolving sacrifice, black mass, blasphemy. Not some gnostic worshiping and narcissism. Satanism is everything opposite of christianity. Satanism is living the seven fucking deadly sins.
Occultism:
Occultism is very wide  subject and it is all around us: christianity, buddhism , hindu, jehovah witnesses, rosary, the star brothers (evolving suicides, which is cool) …
I thing: one step deeper in cult is one step further from thy self. Being a part of a cult is just following someones orders, very close to dictatorship. People in cult are mostly people who are disappointed in thy self or not happy with current situation, seeking for fortune and greater wisdom and meaning of life. It is nothing wrong with occultism some pope need is some despise it.

12.Outside of music what are some of your interests?
Bagot:
I am working on metal CD store and online metal radio with reviews and interviews.

13.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this
Bagot:
I have 2 thinks to say:
1. If you want our CD and don't have the money to buy it, DON'T send us email that we send you signed (or unsigned) CD to review it. And later do nothing except having our free copy of CD. You know who you are and fuck you in name of this band, fuck you again. If you want to buy and don't have money to buy our CD or shirt send us mail we will work something out, we are musicians not fucking corporate, business, merchants of death.
2. For all those who support us and find in our music something for themselves special thanks. You can buy our stuff on our official web page and bandcamp.

Cvinger/Monastery Of Fallen/2013 EP Review

  Cvinger  are  a  band  from  Slovenia  that  plays  a  very  blasphemous  and  misanthropic  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2013  ep  "Monastery  of  Fallen".

  "Chapter  One:  Into  The  Depths  Of  Arcane  Sanctuary"   starts   off  with  the  sounds  of  thunder  before  going  into  a  classical  guitar  piece  which  utilizes  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  set  up  the  introduction  for  the  album.

  "Blaspherion"  finishes  the  classical  guitar  parts  and  goes  into  fast  and  primitive  guitar  riffs,  blast  beats  and  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams  as  well  as  switching  back  and  forth  between  mid  paced  and  fast  sections  throughout  the  song  and  only  using  small  amounts  of  melody.

  "Among  The  Crucified"  starts  off  with  melodic  chanting  before  going  into  a  faster  and  primitive  black  metal  direction  with  the  guitar riffs,  drums  and  screams  and  while  the  song  remains  all  the  way  throughout  their  is  still  some  variety  in  the  way  of  guitar  riffing  as  well  as  some  mid  paced  sections,  the return  of  chants  as  well  as  a  brief  spoken  word  part.

  "Salvation  In  The  Darkest  Wrath"  starts  off  with  fast  guitar  riffs,  powerful  drums  as  well  as  grim  sounding  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  and  as  the  song  moves  on  it  starts  utilizing  mid  paced  sections  and  melody  as  will  as  some  deeper  vocals  before  going  back  to  fast  again.

  "Chapter  Two:  Of  Ashes  And  Dust"  is  another  classical  guitar  piece  which  opens  up  the  second  chapter  of  the  ep.

  "In  They  Kingdom's  Shadow"  starts  off  with  blast  drums,  fast  and  primitive  guitar  riffing  as  well  as  the  screams and  the  music  goes  for  the  fast  old  school  black  metal  sound  of  the  mid  90's  while  also  utilizing  some  mid  paced  sections  as  well  as  a  small  amount  of  death  metal  influences.

  "Monastery  Of  The  Fallen"  starts  off  with  heavy  and  fast  guitar  riffs,  drums  and  grim  vocals  while  also  mixing  in  some  weird  elements  to  the  vocals  briefly  but  focusing  more  on  being  a  fast  black  metal  song  and  towards  the  end  the  music  goes  into  a  slower  direction  briefly  before  returning  to  the  faster  parts  and  mixing  in  a  mid  paced  part  before  closing  with  the  slower  riff  and  deeper  vocals.

  "Chapter  Three:  Amen"  is  all  melodic  Gregorian  chanting  which  closes  the  album.

  Song  lyrics  cover  blasphemous,  misanthropic  and  dark  subjects,  while  the  production  has  a  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  with  the  bass  playing  being  mixed  down  low  in  the  mix.

  In  my  opinion  Cvinger  are  a  very  great  sounding  blasphemous  and  misanthropic  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Among  The  Crucified"  "Salvation  In  The  Darkest  Wrath"  and  "Monastery Of Fallen".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
