Metal Media News: Brazil Black Metal CREPTUM Cover Depeche Mode’s “Black Celebration”
New EP Out! “Reborn In Flames”
Brazilian black metallers CREPTUM have posted a cover version of Depeche Mode’s classic “Black Celebration”, which is one of two tracks on the band’s recently released EP “Reborn in Flames” to follow their 2016 album “Of Lies, Curses and Blood” unleashed on Mutilation Records.
The band comments:
“We chose to cover this Depeche Mode song because the lyrics are very consistent with our vision plus the music itself is great.”

Once again CREPTUM presents a complex work, loaded with symbolism and mystery on their new release “Reborn In Flames”.
Vocalist Tanatos (also responsible for the cover art) comments:
2. Black Celebration (Depeche Mode Cover) (4:00)
Formed in 2001 by Tanatos and Animus Atra in Sao Paulo, Brazil under the original name Nekros, CREPTUM’s goal is to play Black Metal without great pretensions of the mainstream and to perform it in its rawest form, with simple riffs and direct lyrics.
In 2003, after solidifying the line-up, CREPTUM recorded the first EP “… make this world burn”. Following its release, band co-founder Tanatos left the band in 2004. In the same year, with a new line-up the band recorded their second EP “The Age of Darkness”. After finishing promotions for their second release, the band decided to to take a hiatus that lasted longer than they wanted for about 8 years, finally announcing their return in 2013 with vocalist Tanatos.

0 Metal Injection – Nordheim – RapThor “The record turned out to be a hell of a ride through a mystical folk metal world complete with a “Troll Riding a Raptor,” “Boobs and Bacon,” and a track called “I Wish You Were Beer.”
With an album entitled RapThor, these Canadians certainly had my attention. The record turned out to be a hell of a ride through a mystical folk metal world complete with a “Troll Riding a Raptor,” “Boobs and Bacon,” and a track called “I Wish You Were Beer.” There’s a chance these guys are a tad tongue in cheek. Fun record.

Let your melo-death juices flow as you get pulverized by track after relentless track, fueled by booze and chicks…A triumphant return for Nordheim and an end of the year stocking stuffer for album of the year candidate if I ever saw one… season’s greetings.”

0 Out Now! Quebec City Folk Metal NORDHEIM Unleash “RapThor”; An Album About Bacon And Dinosaurs
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – November 24, 2017
For fans of Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Windir, Equilibrium, Ensiferum, Kalmah, Wintersun
Out Now! Quebec City Folk Metal NORDHEIM Unleash “RapThor”
An Album About Bacon And Dinosaurs
NORDHEIM‘s philosophy is a simple one, to make fun folk metal, which is evident in their previous releases “Refill” (2013), “Lost In The North” (2010) plus being Wacken Metal Battle Canada finalists in 2015. Returning in 2017, this quartet of dungeon and dragons enthusiasts is unleashing their latest offering “RapThor”, now available as of November 24th. Influenced by bands such as Finntroll, Ensiferum, Kalmah and Wintersun, NORDHEIM‘s third studio album is eight tracks dedicated to the epic flavour of bacon, the colossus power of dinosaurs and more with such titles as “Troll Riding A Raptor”, “Boobs And Bacon” and “Dragonthorn”.
Listen to their single “I Wish You Were Beer” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_deM6zrz6Ak
Vocalist / guitarist Warraxe comments:
“We want to give the fans one of the heaviest and nastiest folk metal albums to date with ‘RapThor’. It is different from our first two. We had great feedback when we played the songs live. This album is the heaviest of them all while cutting back on the European folklore influences. It’s the result of our hard work over the last few years. It is super-heavy party music!”
As the Quebec City band plans show dates for 2018, they wants fans to really know their sense of fun.
“When we play live it’s a frickin’ party! We move a lot, scream, hump the air, we drink from the fans’ beer bottles and in turn, we feed them beer, with the help of our friends and roadies coming up on stage and pouring beer in their faces. Usually between songs I’ll be making jokes about anything I can think of, as long as it’s dumb and incoherent! We have a strong sense of ‘bro-ness’ with our fans!”
“RapThor” is now available in digital and CD on iTunes, CD Baby, Big Cartel.
Track Listing:
1. Troll Riding A Raptor (4:32)
2. Boobs And Bacon (3:30)

“I might just be crowning the king of the bogs this year with the latest from Canada’s Nordheim…“RapThor” has 8 face smashing tracks in its 40 minutes of playing time.

“From the very get go, the album packs that punch and releases an infinite energy that vaguely recalls the fastest of Black Metal bands. All the while there’s a subtle folk symph to their battle cries. RapThor feels excited to be here. The clean vocal chants of ‘Troll Riding a Raptor’ have easy hooks and feel fitting amongst the rest of the battling music. The shocking speed of each song dangerously thrusts you from song to song, a great example being ‘Scroll of a Lightning Bolt’ which deliciously speeds through its riffs.” – Noizze UK
“Finally, the four years of waiting have been worth it. The album in its entirety contains no flaws, eight songs of quality and strongly built. ” – Quebec Metal

“NORDHEIM would be perfect for the Annual PAGANFEST Tour !” Pete Woods – Metal Team UK ‘Zine

“Weapons Of Thrash Destruction is relentless from start to finish.” – Bravewords
“The Canadian quintet Terrifier knows full well what its strengths are and it plays to them in spades on the wonderfully titled Weapons of Thrash Destruction…This is a fine thrash record. Should make for a fun concert, too.” – The Vancouver Sun
“Terrifier proudly delivers a true-to-form tribute to the genre that thoroughly kicked the ass of the 1980s: thrash…It’s clear, metal music is not dead. Lurking in the shadows of the music industry are new artists like Terrifier, mastering their crafts, looking to flip the industry on its head. Weapons of Thrash Destruction is an impressive effort, explosively blending classic tricks with a modern, fresh feel.” – Beatroute BC
“Strike in the name of old school Metal, kneel before the gods of Metal that brought you the best music ever played in stereo, hail the insanity delivered by fast paced riffing and unholy melodic rhythms.” – Metal Temple
“The music is fast and tight, the riffs are complex and fun, the production, solos, and vocals are all spot-on, and there’s plenty of humor to boot. In other words, everything one should want from a thrash album is on Weapons of Thrash Destruction.” – Angry Metal Guy
“an old school thrash cocktail designed to blow a hole right through the bulkhead.” – Amps and Green Screens
“This album (Weapons of Thrash Destruction) is straight up unapologetic thrash! Love the album.” – CJSF – Metal Meltdown
