01. Epicurse - Autumn Flames 05:16
(Taken from " Autumn Flames " Single 2023)

Sebuah eksplorasi dominan sounding yang ada dalam karya ini adalah Atmospheric synthesizer, which function as they would in a progressive band by backing the riff with faster alternating patterns that occasionally take leads to introduce interludes or mutate tempo. Powerful though these are, they rarely compensate for the guitar, which although nondominant is competent despite its adherence to using simple elements of chord progression as fundamental form of the song, sometimes not even twisting a riff from standard direction but dropping a fluid tritone through a chorus. sentuhan violin sebagai penebal taste cool and dark memang menjadi kekuatan epik mendasar. Simple elements defy the window dressing they have been given, but the overall element wears the confusion well as did Greek bands such as Varathron who structured complex songs around the shifting beats and simple chord progressions of basic metal. Engaging, definitely catchy, although pretty vapid underneath the presence of talented musicians improvising on elemental rock ideas.

03. Ungodless - Abandoned Souls Shall be Dead 04:20
(Taken from " Servant the Creations " CD Coming Soon)

The most immediately obvious aspect of bands come from Blitar city, East Java, Indonesia is the cruel nameless dark production. The sound is darkness incarnate, yet there also a decaying warmth to the overall tone that provides a paradoxical sense of fire and ice in how to record beast black metal. The cold, evil, dark, calculated, satanic, beast, chilling sounds throughout the album are the most accurate depiction of what a standard black metal outing should sound and be like, since the songwriting is incredibly well polished, leaving no riff up to chance, the lyrics are truly beast with fast tremollos and constantly evoke the darkest of images, and the calculated, orchestrated playing of every single instrument and manic, deadly vocal delivery have probably never been matched in a similar way by any other black metal band in existence. Anti Bullying fuckkoff, UNGODLESS comes still with the true faster and beaster !

04. Logical - Denialize 03:34
(Taken from " Denialize " Single 2023)

The generation of observations is a technical process and the advances that have been made in forensic science techniques over the last 50 years have been staggering. But science is about reasoning—about making sense from observations. For the forensic scientist, this is the challenge of interpreting a pattern of observations within the context of a legal trial. Here too, there have been major advances over recent years and there is a broad consensus among serious thinkers, both scientific and legal, that the logical framework is furnished by Bayesian inference (Aitken et al. Fundamentals of Probability and Statistical Evidence in Criminal Proceedings). This paper shows how the paradigm has matured, centred on the notion of the balanced scientist. Progress through the courts has not been always smooth and difficulties arising from recent judgments are discussed. Nevertheless, the future holds exciting prospects, in particular the opportunities for managing and calibrating the knowledge of the forensic scientists who assign the probabilities that are at the foundation of logical inference in the courtroom.

Departing from Blitar city, East Java, Indonesia, a project was formed that does not play a lot of dizzying logic for laymen and scientists to digest, yes indeed this is just an empty idiom to be just a gimmick. playing the musical concept of Black metal with a touch of ordinary fake progressive elements that are technically memorable - LOL, LOGICAL was born from just pretending or mere jokes. showing reality harder than the cover image is haram! start thinking carefully with all seriousness even though it looks joking. and people can easily become over enamored with the apparent sophistication and density of this approach, placing all their stock in exponentially complex sonic information for it's own sake. whilst far from perfect, walks this line well. Seek black metal and you shall be disappointed, but for a display of the progressive music tendency in it's most honest and pure form one cannot go wrong with spinning materialized.

a laboratory of complex formulas and multi-dimensional experiments with no overarching vision or greater purpose. Whether riffs or passages connect up or not is more by luck than design, their chief purpose being a conceptual framework to hang the musical hypotheses of meandering scale runs and freeform improvisations onto. Whether you find this noble or self-indulgent may depnd on what day of the week it is. Music is created and enjoyed for an infinite variety of motivations after all. eschewing the shredding insanity endemic to black/death metal and focusing instead on calmer, progressive, and more expressive excursions that carry a cosmic vibe.

05. Barbaric Wisdom - The Ride for Vengeance 05:27
(Taken from " The Ride for Vengeance " CD Coming Soon)

The term "barbarian" is not derived from the name of any tribe or cultural group; there is no country called "barbar." The word comes from the Greek language, and was used to connote any foreigner not sharing a recognized culture or language with the speaker or writer employing the term. The word was probably formed by imitation of the incomprehensible sounds of a foreign language (“bar-bar”). Originally, it was not a derogatory term; it simply meant anything that was not Greek, including language, people or customs. Later, as the Greeks encountered more foreigners, some of whom learned Greek but spoke with a strange accent, the term took on the connotation of primitive and uncivilized. When the Greek civilization and culture was threatened by others (e.g. Persian or Gothic tribes) the connotation of violence was added. The Romans inherited this view from the Greeks, and in their encounters with different tribes across Europe usually called those tribes “barbarian.” However, being war- and conquest-oriented, the Romans admired barbarians as fearless and brave warriors.

BARBARIC WISDOM carries a message in human life with all its civilizations, because everything starts from cruelty that defeats goodness when humans think more than others. a simple concept from the basis of metal music combined with skill and inherent power about in musical idealism. not excessive BARBARIC WISDOM does not carry great expectations other than just wanting to convey ideas and how to reflect in a work of music. BARBARIC WISDOM come formed from Blitar city, East Java, Indonesia to bring black metal style with fast and intense powerfully beat. So much harsh contrast making things hard to look at, as well as the oddly-campy in-your-face-ness of the songs then it hit me. Maybe all this imagery is indicative of the material inside, as per black metal tradition. The music itself should be raw and abrasive, a full force of high-octane buzz noise fueled by spite. That line of thinking re-kindled some form of excitement for this listen. It was either going to be hyper Aggressive black metal, or hyper-aggressive noise music, and I was most likely going to like it either way. To say anything specific about any of the individual songs here would be reaching for topics, as you can let this album play in its entirety and be unable to distinguish one song from another. Vengeance War 'till Death is definitely not for the impatient metal listener, and it's not for people who value instrumentation and musicianship over imagery and aforementioned aesthetic.

If you're looking for melody, musical progression or accessibility then you'll be disappointed. More uses Barbaric-esque riffs with a greater emphasis on sounding evil and speeds it up a bit, a sense of chaos coming with that. It could be best explained as the exact mid-point between Barbaric and Revenge. The music is abrasive and requires an understanding of this style before one can really appreciate it. Many will write this off as obnoxious noise without realising that that is what you set out to acheive anyway. If this is your first foray into this style of music, I'd recommend you jump back a few years to hear something less extreme like the bands mentioned in the first paragraph, or even forward to Abominator's Barbarian War Worship which is essentially a more catchy version of this.

06. Tragedians - Recognize the Solitude 03:54
(Taken from " Recognize the Solitude " Single 2023)

TRAGEDIANS try to be atmospheric, create appropriate desperate feelings. A crucial factor are the harmonize riff, because they do not deliver outstanding riffs, massive leads or anything else that attract my attention. Blitar city, East Java, Indonesia dudes deliver songs with breaks for the sake of itself, the song-writing skills are still in their infancy and memorable parts do still show up. more respect the musician's intention to create an deepest dark of pure blackness. Whatever came of the band later, TRAGEDIANS were an early part of the black metal atmospheric. TRAGEDIANS did; however, offer a somewhat different approach to the genre-a factor both good and raw. come with a flawed classic, with both atmospherical and deep frustration. releasing one more nature of experimenting with higher levels of accessibility, still maintained many of the enduring qualities of this debut. slower, atmospheric-dependent records were not showpieces in description wheelhouse.

07. Heathen Horde - Toward the End Begin 03:51
(Taken from " Through the Firesword " CD Coming Soon)

Ashes from name Calx And so the journey begins, Heathen Horde set their Heavy Metal course with such impressive debut material. It shows gracefuly harmony of killer riffs, Atmospherical, Aggressive bang guitar and drum work, with many heavy metal's sub-genres combined. This is mix of power metal, melodic death metal, folk metal and progressive metal, with some "blackish" moments. So, it's hard to define this sub-genre of heavy metal music with no Synthesizer. Mix of different sub-genres with Epic Atmosphere from Sacrilege, Ensiferum, Norther, and Children of Bodom resulted totally on Breed of heavy metal called Folking metal. it's just fucking name of that unique heavy metal's sub-genre. Great thing is that this material album has so many songs with different mood. That mood depends on tempo, ambient, progression and domination of heavy metal's sub-genres I already mentioned above. Power, melodic death, folk and progressive metal don't appear in each of these songs together. In a case all of these four appeared in each song, this would be labeled as progressive metal only also sounds so complex and different than anything from other heavy metal.

08. The Ancient Sacrifice - Darkness  Blessing 04:00
(Taken from " Darkness  Blessing " Single 2023)

It's very dynamical; tempos change all the time, and there certainly isn't a lack of melodies. It slows down towards the middle with a metallic led harmonization, after which a majestic and very nice conception is presented. Mixture Black Metal, Art musickness and the core ! unpredictable and offensively offensive. The guitar riffs are pretty much just some palm muted power chords that are unforgettable and virtually indistinguishable from one another. THE ANCIENT SACRIFICE Born from Blitar city, East Java - Indonesia. harsh vocal is aggressive and hateful, powerful vocal is solid. you can see his omnipotent musical genius through out the whole creations divine and ultimately serving towards the darkest pits of hell. Definitely he's met with the gargoyles of doom in inflicting the metal community with sheer blasphemy. straightforward bar chords with some backups of tremolo picked riffs alongside the chords in sequential order lasting only briefly combined with keys so you have a whole amazing aura of music that's so amazingly constructed it just baffles me. This certainly is beyond my comprehension where a guy can make this genre work not just with mindless total blast beating the tempos vary featuring fast riff guitar mixed up with faster guitar work, but it's all molded out with each track featuring a variety to the music.

09. Mourning Silence - Blood of the Martyr 04:11
(Taken from " Goddamned " CD Coming Soon)

Mourning Silence atau bisa didefinisikan sebagai Kepedihan luka yang sangat dalam dimulai menjadi proyek band pada sekitar tahun 2000 ketika tidak sengaja Herry SIC (Ex. Infection Corpses) bertemu dengan Lutfy (Ex. Sin Offering) bertemu dan sama sama memiliki keinginan untuk bikin band yang mengusung konsep berbeda pada saat itu memang Booming Black Metal movement sedang jadi epidemi di Blitar scene. sepakat mengusung konsep Death Metal dengan sentuhan riff melodius kuat yang berkeinginan mengulik dan memadukan gaya Night In Gales, In Flames, Ablaze my Sorrow, Garden of Shadows, Crown of Thorns atau Sacrilege. tidak lama setelah itu kami merekrut 1 gitaris lagi untuk memberi kesan double guitar dengan masuknya Endro (ex. Sin Offering). pada beberapa Rehearsal session Mourning Silence memang tidak memiliki vocalis dan Bassis karena terlalu sibuk mulai mengulik lagu sendiri sampai kemudian masuklah Bassis Donny. dan karena pada saat belum menemukan vocalis yang cocok, akhirnya posisi vocal dijabanin sendiri oleh Herry SIC pada 2 penampilan panggung. formasi awalnya adalah Herry SIC (Vocal/Guitar), Endro (Rythym Guitar), Donny (Bass) dan Lutfy (Drum). dan bisa dikatakan, Mourning Silence adalah Band melodic DM yang pertama dan satu satunya di Miliki Blitar Metal scene hingga pada saat ini.

Secara kontinyu semangat menulis stok lagu yang memendam banyak sekali harmoni kepedihan mendalam, akhirnya Mourning Silence berhasil mengumpulkan beberapa lagu sendiri untuk siap direkam distudio. sempat mengisi vocal dari Pono-nya Sin Offering, karena faktor sulit menyesuaikan style musik akhirnya Pono tidak bertahan lama hingga pada saat Mourning Silence memasuki studio rekaman sekitar tahun 2002 belum juga menemukan vocalis permanen disusul oleh keluarnya Gitaris Endro karena kesibukan pekerjaan, sehingga mau tidak mau Herry SIC kembali ditodongkan untuk mengisi vokalnya hingga berhasil merekam materi Album pertama " Retribution of Eternal Hallucination " dengan menyuguhkan 7 Track Black/Death Metal sentuhan melodius dan gelap mencekam. namun sayang Mourning Silence merasa sangat tidak puas dengan kualitas rekaman-nya karena ditangani oleh Enjiner studio yang asal asalan dan telah banyak menyalahi kesepakatan awal. materi ini sempat akan dirilis Album oleh RA Production (Jakarta) namun karena sesuatu hal, Drummer Lutfy membatalkannya secara sepihak dan mempercayakannya ke SonnenGott Musik (Gresik) untuk disandingkan dengan Surabaya Black Metal, Nicronomodez dalam album split kaset " NicroSilence ".

Pasca album ini rilis masalah mulai terjadi saat Herry SIC memutuskan untuk meninggalkan band ini karena sudah tidak sejalan lagi dengan Drummer Lutfy dan terlalu banyak masalah yang sulit di kompromikan, akhirnya Herry SIC cabut, sempat digantikan oleh Hendro namun karena mengalami masa stagnan yang panjang akhirnya Mourning Silence di peti es kan entah untuk waktu yang tidak dapat ditentukan padahal banyak teman dan pendengar kami ingin band ini tetap eksis. dan mengalami masa vakum yang panjang, perlahan nama Mourning Silence hilang ditelan bumi dan materi " Retribution of Eternal Hallucination " sempat menjadi materi yang tidak akan terlupakan bagi Blitar Underground Movement scene.

Dan hingga akhirnya pada akhir tahun 2017 sempat diwacanakan oleh Herry SIC, mastermind band untuk membangkitkannya lagi dari tidur panjang, bukan menjadi full band karena member-nya sudah tidak bisa dipastikan berkumpul lagi, akhirnya Herry SIC memutuskan untuk menjalankan proyek ini sebagai One Man Project. masih mengusung warna Black/Death Metal Melodius, meski engga segelap warna konsep awal, sentuhan baru kali ini masih dipandang memberi nuansa kekejaman dalam pedih-nya hidup. dan Tahun 2018 awal Mourning Silence untuk pertama kalinya memperkenalkan 1 lagu barunya yang bertitel " The Mind Paralyzing " yang dipublish dalam Kompilasi Sampler Reprisal Promotions menjadi materi Melodius DM Agresif dan lebih menyegarkan lagi jika dibandingkan dengan konsep awal. dan Tahun 2020 Mourning Silence berhasil merampung debut full album ke-2 " On Darkened Paths " yang akan dipublikasikan oleh Reprisal Promotions. The song doesn’t drag on and nothing sounds unnecessary, like the rest of the album. Everything has a purpose, and every instrument does its job to the fullest. The hounding riffs that rile and devastate are followed closely by the low basses, allowing for an extra boom to the already severe guitar tone. And Great melodic death record should be with great and emotional instrumental passages, which this album has is a interlude that sounds as cold as it feels. Mourning Silence Seduction Nocturne feel the same and are equally as impressive. Most of the album " On Darkened Paths " encompasses his mutilated black metal screams, but his demonic roar of a growl is where the ferocity meets the right balance of intricacy.

10. Magnificent Seven - The Secrets of Life are Hidden Within 04:00
(Taken from " The Secrets of Life are Hidden Within " Single 2023)

MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Started from Blitar city, East Java - Indonesia. maturity and overall growth in the way he crafts his riffs and arrangements in his chronological timeline, and this time around, his latest seems to continue the upward evolutionary trend, embracing an equal part of the symphonic rage. Mixture Black Metal with metallic Hardcore riffing ! is able to reach that height just on atmosphere alone. There’s a sensation of blastly and brutality through simplicity versus bashing your eardrums throughout the composition, and what sticks out first and foremost on this is the monstrous influx of guitar riffs with much less Metallic HC lines to behold and breakdown that sounds neither cheesy nor excessive, just fucking awesome… extremely memorable track structure and choruses and overall atmosphere. which isn’t a bad thing, really.

11. Dead Coagulate - The Decorating Blasphemy 06:20
(Taken from " The Decorating Blasphemy " CD Coming Soon)

The Middle Ages was a long period of European history, including France. This century is also known as the Dark Ages, due to the absolute religious power of the Church. This condition led to a number of irregularities and dark historical events, such as: scientific backwardness, rampant myths and superstitions, inquisitions, and so on. A number of social events of the Middle Ages are found in the novel Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo. This research focuses on the problems of religious power deviation that occurred during the Middle Ages, by applying Alan Swingewood's literary sociology as an approach. Various problems regarding the influence of the deviation of religious power contained in the novel are analyzed by utilizing Lord Acton's theory of power and St. Augustine's theory of theocracy. Based on the research, the perversion of religious power that occurred during the Middle Ages was caused by the use of unlimited power of the rulers. The discussion also includes an analysis of the author's forms and techniques in criticizing the rulers of the Middle Ages.

As the source of philosophy is man, in this case the mind and heart of a healthy human being who strives earnestly to seek the truth and finally obtain the truth. The process of seeking truth goes through several stages. The first stage, humans speculate with their thoughts about all things. Secondly, from various speculations are filtered into some reliable thoughts. In the third stage, these thoughts become the starting point in the search for truth (exploration of knowledge based on truth), then develop as sciences, such as mathematics, physics, law, politics, and others. Historically, Renaissance is a movement that covers an era in which people feel they have been reborn in civilization. In this rebirth, people returned to the pure sources of knowledge and beauty. Thus, people have norms that have always applied to human wisdom and art.

During the renaissance, people lived freely in determining the pattern of their lives and were no longer bound by church doctrine. The influence of the Renaissance became more and more pervasive in various fields of life, so that more and more people, especially from the intellectual class, began to break away from the power of the Word of God. Science and general culture began to separate themselves from the teachings and dogmas of Christianity. In particular, the natural sciences, which are based on exact science, began to contradict the views of the Church, which until then had been taught and believed to be divine truth.

In other areas, renaissance culture also differed sharply from that of the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, scholastic philosophy was looked down upon as a mixture of logical ignorance and religious dogma. Chivalry and ethics were considered boring, and all the talk about happiness was just lip service, because in reality, everything was just about benefiting the greedy merchants and bankers in every European city. It's common knowledge that in the Middle Ages, individual interests entered into labor unions, churches, social groups, and everywhere else. Fanaticism and self-centeredness were fostered, so that people could purify their sins through the Cardinal's good works.
