Rants: Hellcut Propaganda Releases Deep/Animist Split. no comments

The Split of Awesomeness

1- I would like to thank the good people from Hellcut Propaganda for their effort in releasing this Deep/Animist split. I seriously thought that the idea was scrapped and was quite surprised myself upon my stumbling of this image but here it is and I think the artwork is fucking awesome.

2- Basically Deep was my personal melancholic and depressive black metal project. The original name for the project was Filsufatia but sometime earlier this year I decided to change the name to Deep. Released a promo (the songs which eventually end up as the tracks in the split) and changed the name back to Filsufatia after being pointed out that there were like 7 other bands from everywhere with the same name. Shouldve figured that out earlier.

3- So the name of the band is no longer Deep but Filsufatia, the old moniker. But seriously, the photo artwork is so awesome. Stare at it. Stare at it. Cool huh (pun not intended)..

4- I have been doing the band for 5 years now. Each year with a new demo/promo. Not really looking forward to sign to any labels although the people from Carnage Records and Kult 666 have been so kind to release my shitty songs all these years. I think Im gon start writing for a new demo. So inspired right now thanks to that awesome cover photo. Sejuk. Sejuk.

Bands: Medusa. no comments

Medusa.

1- Previously my favorite new band was Irotori but now after experiencing the awesomeness of Medusa, I am really contemplating to overthrow Irotori and put Medusa on top of the reigning list. Medusa is a progressive and very melodic metal band of awesomeness from Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Started out as a jam band Medusa is truly a new young force to be reckon. I will tell you why.

2- The songs man, the fucking songs. They blew me away with their fucking songs, the arrangements, their senses and ears for nice melodies, the nice breaks and the leads. When I first feasted my ear holes with their songs via their Myspace page, I was and am still hoping that the band is not a fucking metalcore band. All the songs available on their myspace have no vocals so it was kind of hard to judge but judging from the style of their songs, I doubt that Medusa is a fucking metalcore or else I will be very much frustrated. Do not waste your time with fucking metalcunt fellas.

3- Their first song is called Donnie Brasco. The started with some heavy guitars and blast beat drums before launching into a fully melodic riff assault. The kick drums were a bit all over the place here and there. 2 minutes into the song, the song went into some Gothenberg shits before going into some lame slam breaks. A lot of different tempos but they managed to stay groovy. The solo was decent and short to give more room for some dual guitar riff trades.

4- The second song is called Paradox. The sound quality for this song was horrible with the drums being too high in the mix. But being a drum enthusiast myself, I do not really mind that since I can still enjoy the awesome drum works from the talented drummer. Nice double paddle work and the groovy time play with the cymbals.

5- They got a couple more songs in their myspace. This band is highly recommended by The Bullet Belt. Medusa consist of Iffat (vocals),Ayai (guitar), Fixx (guitar), Pithang (Bass) and Rudi (Drums). and I believe none of them are over 26. It would be a mind fuck if Irotori could team up with Medusa and release a nice split tape. Visit them: http://www.myspace.com/medusamalaysia

Logam Melayu - The Essential Collection of Malaysian Extreme Metal.

1- I have compiled some old and classick songs from various Malaysian Black Metal and Death Metal bands and put it up here for you download. Witness the majesty of Malaysian Heavy Metal. The songs compiled in this so called compilation were old songs from the veterans in the likes of Sil Khannaz (Death Metal), Langsuyr (Black Death), Infectious Maggots (Industrial), Silent Death (Death Metal), Brain Dead (Death Metal), Nebiras (Black Metal), Suffercation (Death Metal) and Slum Scum (Grind Death).

2- Most of these songs were taken from the bands debut albums/EPs/Demos/whatever respectively. Download this and experience for yourself how Malaysian Black Metal and Death Metal sounded like back in the early 90's. Way too many death metal? Wait for volume 2.

3- You are free to spread and re-distribute this so called compilation else where, as long as you credit The Bullet Belt blog properly and well, as long as long you wont go out and sell this compilation for any monetary gains, I dont think the bands would mind. The only reason why I put this up here was to promote Malaysian Metal to the whole wide world and I hope you can help me do that.

4- If you are offended with this download, you can always email me and I will pull this compilation out and let Malaysian Metal die in obscurity. Fuck you.
