Another offering to the Coven, this one sent, also already last year, by Joel. Thank you comrade! You might want to check out some of his projects at Bandcamp. This is the second demo of Finnish Flagellant, not to be mixed with the Swedish one signed to W.T.C. or the German one. According to Joel the project was also known as Romentola at some point of their run and the guys play nowadays death metal in Amputory's ranks. No cover scan as Joel had no access to a scanner but at least there's a pic he took of the cover. If you have the first demo and/or can scan the cover for this one get in touch!
Flagellant's black metal sounds raw yet clear and is quite melodic, with varying tempos and Darkthronesque groove (black metal DT) in it. The audible bass, as usual, delights me. The ~23 minute demo consists of an intro track, three "proper" tracks, an instrumental in the middle and another which serves as an outro. The vocals are ok if nothing special to scribble page after page in your journal. In the end it's an enjoyable demo and recommendable if you like Finnish ug black metal with almost rehearsal-like yet clean demo sound. Leaves me wanting to hear the first demo now.

Thanks for this "Never heard" group.
Nice to see you back, Velkaarn! The second DL link should be called Yandex.Disk (ex-Narod), that's more correct.
Welcome back, amigo. And thank you for the new posts.
Hope this finds you well and happy and all like that.
Thanks for your comments and I've now updated the second link to match the current name of the service. Since google translator decided to vanish I've had slight issues understanding what the Russian sites try to tell me!
Velkaarn, the Russion sites are trying to tell you that Trotsky was right and the Bolshevik philosophy is the one true way for Russia.
Just a joke, I wish no offense to any Stalinists in the crowd...
@kp:
Surely you remember Stalin had Trotsky assassinated back in '40? Though the Stalinists would of course be offended if one subscribed to Trotskyism... anyways it might be best not to meddle in the politics of (powerful) neighbours.
Politics aside, I'll post a 'zine next, as soon as I remember where I put the scans! Looks like they're not on my computer.
About Russians and Yandex... in the near future, there (Mäntsälä, city where I live) comes Yandex office.
They're everywhere!
re@GREV:
Cheers! I'd love to visit your city sometime, bad political joking aside.
@Velkaarn:
Yes I know Stalin had an ice pick implanted in Trotsky's head at his retreat in Mexico City. Cool thing is the study in which he was maimed (he died later at hospital) remains virtually untouched from that fatal moment. The manuscript he was working on at that moment is still in the typewriter, purportedly.
Perhaps some vintage Russian BM to post next, then?
@kp:
I'd love to post that yet unfortunately I don't have much from Russia that wouldn't have been released on CD. So something else is going to be on the menu, tossing a coin to see what'll be next. That's the scientific method in these parts.
@KP. You're welcome, but "city" where I live is more than "municipality" than the city... poor place with stupid peoples (except me) ;)
