Means To An End - Weathered By Time (review by D)

Means To An End (USA/Bel)
www.myspace.com/betrayalofexistence

This band here screams and cries for a new sound, beyond what the ears of modern black metallers hear of today. This band is called Means To An End and their full length album here is called Weathered By Time. This album is just a screaming call of hate out to the heavens, filled with melancholy, catchy riffs, mourning, and great and tight sounding production with a raw power to it all at the same time. The members consist of Surtur on all vocals, and Kold on all instruments. They have been active since 2009 and are just starting to gain notice in the underground metal scene and this music here is a great way to go about it. This album combines elements of Depressive, but also Dark Metal of the early 90s in their own approach. Ala Bethlehem, Cold World, Nocturnal Depression. Vocals bleed well into the tones of the guitars, drums and with supreme power behind it and lifeless rasps of desperation. Negativity and rage over powering the mind.

Lots of energy within each track, also quiet, very classy/clean piano and guitar passages that are pretty mind numbing. I enjoy those in between track fills very much, they are very touching. Melody through out, and just a great album that flows well no matter how many times you play it. A few songs, but long in length, each song has something meaningful to offer to the listener. This is not your typical corpse paint and menacing black metal band, this has more integrity, and intensity but all at the same time offering some very cold, sad, isolated, it can bring a man down to tears at the worst of times... Its not completely unbearable, like most depressive black metal I been hearing lately, but this is a great way to go about things, and is a great Depressive Black Metal/Dark Metal album. I really like how things never get boring or dull listening to it, and it has a lot to offer, just more people need to see it. Breaking down the soul to its pure inner pains and tragedies, composing it into a album is hard to achieve, and they have achieved it very well. They got the goods. Let the nothingness of Means To An End consume you...

Biography
Dark Theory is a Black Metal band, fueled mostly by alcohol and a hate of the general 'music' scene. We combine the dark stylings and aesthetics of Black Metal with the agression of Thrash Metal, the harsh rhythms of Drum n Bass and the disturbing melodies of Gothic Metal as well as having outright Avant-garde elements. Originally formed in September 2006 as a regular 4-piece with a more mainstream influence, the band went through many changes before the unreliablity of members caused founder and bassist Ryan to continue the band alone in late 2007. The two early demos were a sort of experimental black/thrash with some doom elements, and were only sent to a very small amount of people due to low quality content. With Dark Theory's first 'proper' release, "Every Kind of Filth", the genre was rooted firmly in Black Metal and Doom Metal, but had many experimental elements. Although few people heard it at first, reactions were good and the album was noted for being particularly dark and disturbing even in the world of Black Metal. The release of the next demo album, "Disgust for Humanity" was something of a 'breakthrough' for the band, as many more people came in contact causing both demos to be sent to many people from around the world. Within the next few months the band received many encouraging comments, an increase in plays, several highly positive reviews and has turned it's attentions to becoming a live band. As of January 12th Dark Theory added Olivia on guitar, keyboards and backing vocals, and on May 9th added Cronje on lead guitar and backing vocals, and after a long desperate search, added Harvey Davey on Drums on November 14th, but is now looking for a rhythm guitarist. Please note we are in rejection of the local Deathcore and Metalcore overload because they all sound the fucking same. If you want to get a copy of either of our demos they will soon be avaliable through the Santania Productions website www.santanica.org under the Darkwave/Electro/Other section, as will our upcoming debut EP Look Into The Mirror. Also if you enjoy Dark Theory you may enjoy Ryan's Industrial Noise project "Desolation Machine" and Olivia's Acoustic Rock band "Out of Bounds".

SERIOUS MUSICIANS FROM THE UK ONLY!!! HOPEFULLY YOUR CLOSE BY!

DODKVLT/GOATS OF DOOM Deathcult vs Doomgoat (by Twan Sibon) to be in AEA 19

http://www.myspace.com/dodkvlt
http://www.facebook.com/scaregod
The label Ewiges Eis (Germany) is not only releasing the Dodkvlt album "II" but also a split of Dodkvlt together with Goats Of Doom. For a brief history of Dodkvlt see the "II" review also in this issue of AEA. One song that is divided in three parts with an average song length of 11 minutes Lord Theynian recorded this during the recordings of "II". Lengthy songs that range from doomy atmospheric parts to more uptempo passages. Also quiet parts like in the opening track where he is whispering and playing some really nice soft toned guitar. Theynian is playing very nice guitar melodies through the songs. Overall the three songs are slower than "II" but with very nice melodic touches although the explosive side is not forgotten.
Goats Of Doom is also hailing from Finland and like Dodkvlt they are not playing straight forward black metal. The band consists of three pseudo named members and this split is their first release. Their debut full length "Lost in Time and Void", inspired by H.P. Lovecraft will be released soon. The four songs on this split have aggression as the main element but Goats Of Doom are not afraid of putting some experimental elements in their sound. From raging they switch to chanting chorus, tribal drumming, keyboard. mouth-harp and other acoustic instruments. The songs hide a very nice sinister atmosphere. Concluding this is a great split release (limited to 500) with two good experimental black metal bands. -Twan Sibon

DODKVLT II (Ewiges Eis) review (by Twan Sibon) to be in AEA 19

DODKVLT II (Ewiges Eis)
http://www.myspace.com/dodkvlt
Dodkvlt is an experimental black metal band from Finland. The band has only one soul and this is Lord Theynian who is handling all instruments and vocals. Started in 2009 (after played in Dream Smashers Inc as vocalist/guitarist) and released the debut in 2010 named "I". Logically the follow up will be named "II". The album is released on Ewiges Eis Records and contains 9 songs. "II" goes further where "I" stopped and Theynian improved song writing as there is a good balance between the progressive parts and the aggressive parts. In between you get catchy melodies and atmospheric passages. But don't afraid that there is a lot going on here as it is nice balanced and the variation is needed in the lengthy songs. With "II" Lord Theynian delivered a nice album and hopefully "III" will continue his path although the writing process for "III" is going slowly. -Twan Sibon

Zamiel of "Wende" Interview (by Stormhammer)

NEW INTERVIEW WITH THE TRANSYLVANIAN FOREST E-ZINE INSIDE MAN, STORMHAMMER WITH ZAMIEL OF THE BAND "WENDE" ... -Danny

(SURTR STORMHAMMER)

Surtr:
Thanks for meeting with me, Zamiel, I appreciate the opportunity
to pick your mind! And thanks again for being interviewed by me
as well as Transylvanian Forest E-Zine!

(ZAMIEL)

Zamiel:
You’re very welcome.

Surtr:
So, I've known you a long time, brohammer! How long has it been
since you first came up with the idea ov Wende?

Zamiel:
Yes, you’ve known my music since before it was described as ‘Wende’.
In some ways, I’ve always had the idea for Wende, I simply had to
make myself ready to find it. It some ways, Wende hasn’t begun yet,
it’s still in the process of meandering.

I find that events or actions commonly described as having a
beginning, but in actuality had no ‘beginning’ at all, thus having
only gradually meandered into existence. Do wars only begin with the
first death? Does love only begin when you feel it? Can it begin
before you develop the capacity to love? Does knowledge begin with
studies, thoughts and practice? Can you gain knowledge before you
are ready to learn?

Originally, I wrote music, fully completed, and put it on my computer
so I could listen to it. It was for me, for my own use, and belonged
to nobody else. How nice to be a listener and a creator too, you
always have exclusive music on hand! It had no name, and why should
it? It simply was my music. Why should I involve others? I could
play every instrument just fine for my purposes, and they could
never understand what I wanted to hear as well as I could.

For a long time, nobody heard it, until I decided, vulnerably, to
show it to my friends only. I only gave my art a name when asking
necessitated. I put very little thought into the first few name
choices and figured it wasn’t really important, because the name
was for them, not for me. I knew perfectly well what it really was.
Eventually I realized that giving the art a name and direction need
not be a limiting exercise, so much as a focusing one. The concept
of Wende, active long before it ‘began’, took focus in the spring
of 2008.

Surtr:
I couldn't agree more, especially considering I first heard your demo
albums from when you had no name for Wende. Since your newest
release, Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunft, I've been listening
to the Demo album versus what you created with it. What new things
have you conceived since your self-titled demo?

Zamiel:
I should first mention that I’m very unhappy with how the demo
sounds, and I’m in the process of re-recording it right now. I
didn’t arrive at this decision lightly, but then again, I never
considered it ‘finished’ anyway. It will be called ‘Dritte und Edel’
and should be considered the first Wende album, though obviously
recorded out of sequence.

I’m planning a four-album canon, though there may be more music in
the manner of Wende outside the four. The first of the four (Dritte
und Edel) sounds primarily depressive and morose, as it attempts to
tell the story of the going-under and defeat of the ancient and the
noble, and innocent, the turn from the path of centuries, and the coming of the plague. To speak the
word ‘European’ is to speak of sadness.

The second album (Vorspiel) sounds primarily introspective, open
and ‘suspended’, and should be the catalyst for a new philosophy, or
perhaps a return to a more ancient philosophy. The third album will
have a violent and disjointed sound, as the borders and walls of our
prison are cast aside. The fourth album will have a calming and
serene sound, and will be the beginning of the new way and a rebirth.
This is Wende, to call attention to our dying world, and our dying
minds and offer an escape, the chance of turn.

Surtr:
Long since you've released these two albums, I've been obsessed with
your musical processes! How has it been since then that you decided
to change things up? How have you worked on things to where they're
so different between the Self-titled demo and Vorspiel einer
Philosophie der Zukunft?

Zamiel:
Well, most obviously, Vorspiel is better recorded, I’m much happier
with the sound, and probably won’t change anything in future
recordings. Vorspiel is more thought-out than the demo, more time
was spent on focusing the message, and more energy was spent on
giving intention to the sound. Personally, I don’t feel that
Vorspiel is very different from the demo, it’s simply a continuation
of what I felt was successful.

I wanted to give Vorspiel a very spacious and ‘open’ sound. Like the
wind on the barren upper reaches of a mountain. I also wanted the
tonality to be somewhat obscured and esoteric, so the listener is
not quite sure where the chord is rooted, or where it exists, as if
the music resides in the grey-scale between tonalities. Not giving
away ‘secrets’, but I highly recommend the music of Debussy,
especially “La cathédrale engloutie”, and the music of other
impressionist musicians too, e.g. Ravel or Satie.

I wrote rhythmic, melodic and even chordal leitmotivs on Vorspiel to
enhance the message of the text, and give deeper meaning to the
music. It may take a more discerning ear to pick up on all of them,
I don’t know, but understand: everything on this album is
intentional, and everything was done for a reason, perhaps multiple
reasons. I can’t tell anyone how to experience my art, but listen
deeply and intently, discover the keys to my meaning but also
discover keys to your own meanings and nuance. And listen to future
works, not all musical concepts are paid off in this album alone…

The text was written to read like a story, or perhaps two stories,
which may or may not be related. Each track attempts to address what
I feel are the most pertinent concepts of philosophy, at least to
the philosophy of the future – War, Death, Truth, Solitude and the
Self, Time and Nature.

I may or may not give further account on the concepts and creation
of Vorspiel on wendmusic.blogspot.com. The self-titled demo was
nothing more than that - a demo, I never really intended to have it
listened to by anyone but me, though I happily gave it to anyone who
wanted one. I also handed out four song cd-r copies to people at
Skinwalker shows I felt were worthy, in an apparently futile attempt
to gain some underground recognition.

Surtr:
I agree full heartedly with that as well, my friend. It's unfortunate
that more people involved in the underground scene use it as a way to
"be different" from others than others that actually have a deep
passion and recognition in the importance ov the actual music and the
message it brings. Speaking ov which, I've noticed a lot ov
philosophical ramifications going into the process ov creating
between your two albums. Any ideas you'd like to identify for our
readers, other than those stated above?

Zamiel:
I suppose reading through the lyrics of my albums is enough to
answer this question. Dream, with no fear of the journey. Be wary of
all done in the name of tradition and authority, the great murderers
of thought and life. Become who you are and let your ethics happen
upon you, Hold reverence for the nature of nature, and have
confidence in nature. Seek a profundity to life, and do not be
obsessed with empty things. Be aware and conscious.

Surtr:
Well said! As you stated, you also play bassist for the Washington
band Skinwalker. How has that been and what sort ov tricks have you
picked up since starting with these bandmates?

Zamiel:
I enjoy the project. The direction is very different from Wende.
Both Insomniac and Blacksmith are great guys, and we’re good friends
outside of the band too. It was nice to experience a different
approach to this music. Realize that probably only about 10-15
people in our entire county listen to this music, let alone play it.
There’s been a lot of traveling, playing, camping, late night
recording sessions, early morning return trips, and a fair amount of
libations. I feel that the sound is firmly rooted in the past, and
that’s not so bad, considering how laughable the music has now
become, by and large. The sound is dirty, unrefined, raw and
violent – everything it should be. Tricks? Maybe experiences.

Surtr:
Skinwalker has played live in several cities since this point! How
involved are you with the band's songwriting and focus and what hopes
do you have for the future, regarding Skinwalker?

Zamiel:
We’ve played venues from Seattle to Helena, though have yet to reach
Canada or Oregon. The price of petrol is now beginning to reach EU
prices, and though on a personal level, expenditure slides ever
higher, hopefully we’ll see widespread adoption of a more European
outlook on fuel and transport, though I doubt it.

I’m very involved in every level of Skinwalker. I wouldn’t waste
anyone’s time with my presence and not be involved. In the future,
the agenda may include a small label, or it may not. More shows,
more music, maybe a small tour. Nothing too assuming.

Surtr:
Working with my own set ov bands, I know how taxing it can be to meet
a deadline for a release. How is it you retain your own personal
lifestyle along with that ov your bands? (Including others than
Wende and Skinwalker).

Zamiel:
Wende and Skinwalker never impinge on my life. If anything, my life
gets in the way of my music. I’ve always felt it important to have
my art be a projection of me, but also important to myself be
exemplary of my art. There’s always (increasingly) room for
imagination and fantasy in art. But there is no great disconnection
between Wende or Skinwalker and my ‘personal’ life, there’s
budgeting of time and that’s it, I live the same life throughout.

I’m always wary of people that live fantasy double lives through
their music. It can be done sure, and done very effectively, but I
simply don’t believe those bands that sing of gore, murder,
suffering, arson, suicide, heathenism, heritage or revolt and lead
normal, boring lives. They’re simply circus performers, entertainers,
and sometimes they don’t even entertain.

I’ll briefly mention something here that’s important to me. If your
band glorifies ‘Satan’, ‘Lucifer’ or the ‘Devil’ and sings of being
‘Satanic’, you’re a Judeo-Christian band, and you play Judeo-
Christian music. Satan is a Jewish character, and is shared by all
three Abrahamic religions. To believe and give credence to this
concept is to believe and give credence to the Judeo-Christian
world-view and paradigm of thought.

I fully abhor this world-view and its violent, destructive, life-
hating, anti-culture message. Don’t give it the time of day, my
brothers, let alone speak of its concepts through your music. You
sully yourselves.

Surtr:
Well put, mighty Zamiel! I fully agree, it is the assassin ov free
thought throughout the world! But it is time to wrap this up. Thanks
full-heartedly for your time brohammer! If it's within permission ov
both you and TFE-zine, I'd like to do a review on at least one, if
not both Wende albums! They are really good and deserving lime-light
in my opinion!

Hails!!

-S. Stormhammer, Transylvanian Forest E-Zine

NEW TRANSYLVANIAN FOREST E-ZINE POLICY AND RULES

OK, I got a few things to get off my chest, now, I made a new profile here because their is a OVERWHELMING amount of bands and people swarming me on the last one (200+ friend requests) and I do not need more work or music on my pc, or things to do as it is. Now, first off, things for the e-zine, it wont SHUT DOWN, but it will dramatically change... New rules, and new policy. In order to be featured on the e-zine, or reviewed/interviewed or mentioned, or have a post in a exclusive, you must provide the following...



1) A 20$ fee for a SPECIAL video interview ONLY by paypal or money order, or well hidden cash for my services for your band. You must pay, or you cant be part of these special videos, its a lot of time to do theses, and its a lot like the video interview I did with Kris Tilbury. You can download that interview video, and can get it here to see what its all about... its something that can really boost the promotion of your band and its totally worth it. The Kris Tilbury interview alone is up to 64 downloads!!!



http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FWI98H60



2) Standard Promo : Band SHIRTS are now accepted or a patch for a TYPED OUT interview ONLY. That means your just asking for a interview, not review. I ll take a picture of myself wearing the shirt, or put the patch on a jacket once I get one, or show it off with the tf e-zine logo in the background, as support and promotion of your band. This is a very good way to promote your band as well, and I will make sure that once I get them, questions are typed out, and sent your way.



3) NEW POLICY : Cds are still humbly accepted, but TAPES and VINYL are more of my " thing" now, and the amount of Cd albums I am getting is a bit too much... I will accept cds more again ONCE I go issue in the future when I am able to go issue, so now you must provide a link for me to download for me to review your album and either I will review it, or a member of the e-zine will review it if I like them too, but we will get to HOW to join as a member of TF E-zine in a second.



4) SUPER PROMO : If you like a special interview video, and a few reviews, and the best of the best promotion by TF E-zine, please mail me a tape or vinyl with a band shirt and a patch or pins or stickers or one of each merch you have if possible. These count as money $$$ to me, so therefore you are covering the cost of the special video interview with a shirt, with a tape or vinyl or more of your choosing in which you have released under the label you are on or self released yourselves. This is possibly the best way to get SUPER promotion from TF e-zine.



That means exclusives being posted on the site, your song featured on the sound click player on the main site, facebook promotion, as much promotion I can do for you as humanely possible. That means, exclusive, song on player, review(s), a typed out interview OR special video interview if you have the time to record yourself speaking, and also I will contact other zines to promote you as well which is another plus since I know so many of them. I also plan to start doing a BEST OF THE BEST OF TRANSYLVANIAN FOREST E-ZINE compilation series.



These series will include 10 bands, who make such a contribution to me, and also, will be include on the compilation album, and you will get all the promotion for your band above stated, and be featured on this future compilation series. I have ideas for it, and its going to be a big series. Not download compilation, A REAL RELEASE ON A REAL UNDERGROUND LABEL... I know a label that can release my series of tf e-zine compilations, and you have all rights to your song, so if you feel you do not wont to be part of it, let me know BEFORE the first compilation is release. This is NO RIP OFF, this is best way to promote your band to the fullest extent, all you have to do is mail me tape or vinyl with a band shirt and a patch or pins or stickers or one of each merch you have if possible.



That is all you have to do to join the TF E-ZINE compilation series and get the best promotion from my zine. You will be featured in the first issue as well, so kudos to you if you decide to make this awesome choice and contribution to something I been working on so hard for the past year. Their will be few of you that will make this decision, but hopefully you take the leap!



5) If you only have a downloadable album to send me for review, and that is it, you must at least have the decency to wait since their is a lot of bands in line WAY ahead of you that just either payed, mailed me a shirt, or vinyl or tape or a cd. DOWNLOADS = NOTHING to me unless you can back it up with a real contribution behind it. This is just like any other zine, but even better. So dont go harrassing me and messaging me or pushing me around saying, "Man is the review done??!!??!!!" because if you do, I will just put it in my recycle bin on my computer and fully delete it. Case closed.



8) How to join TRANSYLVANIAN FOREST ZINE... hmm... since a lot of you boys and girls are such inspiring reviewers and or interviewers, I have a offer for you... if you like to be part of the e-zine, there is 3 ways to join...



1) Standard Membership : You write a review as a test, or interview, a album, (or band I send you to contact back and forth with) that I send you for download, or it is well reviewed or interviewed, you will get in as a member of TF ZINE after your test, and you pay a small 5$ fee to become a full time member, to review download albums, or interview bands online. BUT you must be in contact by email, or facebook, when you have free time, this is a job, and I dont need flakes, so if you flake on me, your done. Only dedicated supporters of the underground allowed. You will be featured in the first issue as well, and will get a copy in the mail. Your services will be required for as long as you like to work for the e-zine.



2) Pro Membership: You pay a 10$ fee, you will be able to get album(s) or extras, in the mail from the band that I send you to be reviewed / interviewed, not just downloads. I find the bands for you to review or interview, if you do not like the bands music, or have a problem with one of them personally, I ll find you a new one to work with. I am very serious when I mean, you will get FREE stuff sent to your mail box, I get merch from bands ALL over the world, so this is nothing new to me, but once you start getting busy, you will be pretty happy to show off your new collections, and know that you supported a great band and are a great member of a well respected promotion like Transylvanian Forest Zine. You will also be featured in the first issue of the zine once out and get a copy in the mail. For a extra 5$, you can get more then one copy of the issue depending on how many you want. Your services will be required for as long as you like to work for the e-zine.



3) Limited membership: You send me a few dollars (say 2 or 3$) to ship you a data cd of albums to review, and once you are done reviewing those albums on the data disc, your services will no longer be required but you are now know for working with Transylvanian Forest E-zine and your a few of your best reviews I choose will be in the first ISSUE of transylvanian forest e-zine. You will get a free copy of the issue in the mail.



Now this is the NEW and IMPROVED rules and policy for tf e-zine. I do not have a contract to sign, or ask a lot, but please, please respect the fact, I am a ARTIST as well, and I love supporting the underground , and it gives me a great feeling inside to do so, but I am at wits end with this e-zine, and this is the ONLY way I can make it improve and take it to the next level. If you like these ideas, thank you, if not, then TOO BAD... I have a musical journey to follow to you know, and I cant get by with just downloads, they fill up my computers hard drive, and its a waste of time to me to keep doing something for another year completely FREE and running by myself 24/7. I also need some pocket change every now and then and also it costs MONEY to ship people. I need something tangible, I need something real. Now thank for reading, and if you like any of the following please let me know. I will continue the e-zine, but IF these rules and policies dont go in effect by the end of this month, I will be SHUTTING DOWN the e-zine ENTIRELY...This is not a money making SCHEME, I am just being honest with all you bands and musically in tuned people out there. I do all this promotion on my free time, so please being patient if things start off slow.



p.s. I am also looking for someone to do a new logo for the e-zine! You will get credits.



Thank you, and have a nice day. -Danny
