Sci-Fi Metal: Xoth - Interdimensional Invocations

A big eye appears in the sky, tentacles and slime, worshipped by a cult.


This cover is absolutely amazing and was the reason to order this LP. It's been a few weeks ago, that I saw this article on TOXIC METAL ZINE with the announcement of a vinyl release. I remember that Xoth was already mentioned on Banger TV in October 2019 by Blayne Smith and give it again a quick listen and directly ordered it.

This week the LP finally arrived.

Direct on to the turntable and crank up the volume. The records starts with a strange, high guitar riff which offers directly a "space" feeling and kicks right after into a nice death metal sound. The second song - "Mountain Machines" - is my favourite one. I love the melodic parts, which are guiding you through the whole song. I wish the song was twice as long, can't get enough of it.

Well, and the rest? I think I have to learn a lot how to describe a metal record, so I just say: Awesome and just listen to it.


So, if you want to listen to this awesome piece of music, you can get it on

Hühnergott - Hascherlit - hag stones

But what is a hag stone?  In short: A stone "from the sea" with a hole in it. A hag stone is a stone with a naturally occurring hole through it. They are also known as adder stones, witch stones, serpent eggs, and fairy stones. Hag stones are believed to have magical properties, and have been used for centuries for protection, healing, and divination. The hole in a hag stone is said to represent the eye of a witch or fairy. According to legend, witches and fairies would use their eyes to cast spells and curse people. By looking through the hole in a hag stone, it was believed that one could see through the disguise of a witch or fairy and protect themselve...

A metal journey: In the beginning there was no metal.

Image
In the beginning, there was no metal. The jacket was empty and bold. But then, in a dark and stormy November night, a new metalhead was born. His arrival was announced by a huge thunderstruck and world stands still for a second. But I took 18 more years until he unleashed his whole potential of listening to brutal music.... Well, my story starts not exactly like that. The weather indeed was nice, about 3°C and the sun was shining. But indeed, I discovered heavy metal very late at the age of 18. It was the birthday of one of my best friends, his 18th. I asked him what I could get him as a present and the answer was: Iron Maiden - Brave new world. He was very happy as he opened his present and put the record right on. It was my very first time listening to metal and it was awesome. Until that I listened most of the time to rock & pop music. Most of the time it was rock, because my parents are huge Rolling Stones fans and listen to a lot classic rock in general. So I listened to, o...
