Knoxville, Tennessee based Generation of Vipers formed in the early months of 2004. Since that time they have released 3 studio albums and one split release, Grace, Dead Circle, Peacecreature and their most recent effort “Howl and Filth”. The newest studio album, “Howl and Filth”, was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios (Converge, Torche, Doomriders, Today Is The Day, etc.), during the fall/winter of 2010/2011. Howl and Filth contains 6 tracks of the most aggressive and deeply personal music in the bands 7 year history. Fans of bands such as Unsane, Neurosis, Tombs and other forward thinking artists of that ilk will be pleasantly surprised. Generation of Vipers also features members of Neurot Recording artists U.S. Christmas and A Storm of Light.

Unholy fuck…stop whatever you are doing, and check out this gnarly band from Belgium called SEVERE. These filthy humans play blackened punk the way it’s supposed to be done: no holds barred rancid chaos from end to end! Every untitled song on this record has been stamped by the mark of the beast. SEVERE creates a violent atmosphere with their sound that has me hooked like it was the most addictive drug on the planet. More than anything, these guys are pretty epic songwriters, penning their tunes like subhuman gutter dwellers. Under all of the stench that their riffs kick up, your can’t escape their charbroiled melody. If I had to compare music to food, it would be burned vulture meat topped off with a unhealthy dose of maggots. Don’t get me wrong – if you like disturbed blackened punk, you’ll dig what this band is serving. What impresses me about this band is the way that at certain times it almost feels like you have entered a chamber of doom. The vocalist for this band has a demon tongue; his delivery is raw and uncut torment. I’m not sure what song I’ll choose, but I do know for sure SEVERE has earned a spot on the next volume of Blackened Everything

Swedenborg Raum are:
Axel (drums), Ben (bass-guitar) and Flo (guitar). The Name Swedenborg Raum comes from a experimentel series 'The Kingdom', produced by Lars von Trier in the early 90's. The room - which is part of the story - discribes the space between life and aftertlife. Firstly the swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg wrote about this phenomenon in the beginning of the 18th century.
