Descobri esta banda por indicação de Padde, guitarrista do Instinct of Survival, nesta entrevista:

"Chainbreaker Records: INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL (INTERVIEW"

http://chainbreakerrecords.blogspot.com/2017/06/instinct-of-survival-interview.html

Ambas estão dentro de um subgênero conhecido como Stenchcore. Seria a sonoridade do Crust Punk em seus primórdios, basicamente: uma fusão do anarcopunk com metal extremo.

Até hoje, não encontrei as letras deste álbum, mas quando o ouvi pela primeira vez, logo reconheci a citação do livro "1984" (George Orwell) na introdução:

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever".

Fato curioso é que esta citação também está presente no título de uma música do Bad Religion: "Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever", do álbum "The Empire Strikes First", de 2004:

Mas voltando ao álbum "System Overlord", do Swordwielder, percebi que a narração continuava com mais uma frase que não sabia se estava ou não no livro: "The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: don’t let it happen. It depends on you."

Pois bem, após uma pesquisa, vi que o excerto na música é nada menos do que um pedaço da última entrevista de George Orwell à BBC (aos 1:46):

Acho bem interessante este exercício de tentar descobrir as referências nas músicas, estejam eles nas letras, excertos de algum documentário, filme, enrevista ou até mesmo nos acordes (algumas bandas brincam com isso, fazendo clara alusão a músicas conhecidas dentro do gênero ou até num escopo maior, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes são campeões nisto, ao fazer covers de outros estilos, mas sempre puxando uns clássicos do punk rock na sonoridade).

D​ö​dsrit Bandcamp
Dödsrit
release date Oct. 14, 2018
Dödsrit is a project created by Christoffer Öster from TOTEM SKIN. Dödsrit tries to blend atmospheric black metal with the rawness from crust. The writing for Dödsrit started right after Totem Skin had recorded their last album "Weltschmerz" . And was conducted for almost two years before it saw the light of the day.
Dödsritt shivering melodies were created in the deep forests in the outskirts of Borlänge, Sweden. Conducted by Christoffer Öster from Totem Skin who poured every drop of passion he could harvest from the bottom of his heart. "this same titeled LP is the band’s 1st full-length. The soundscape of the album ranges from raw aggression to doomy heaviness and unsettling guitar melodies. The vocals create an honest and desperate atmosphere, the vocalists screaming themes of nature and problems in life. Intense grinding shares space with quiet and reverent moments, but the sonic landscape is always filled with emotion.
Nocturnal Will Bandcamp
Dödsrit
release date March 22, 2024
Shrouded in Gyllbergen’s mist, and the sentient essence of the nocturnal fire burning within, the hiking metalpunk hordes Dödsrit hereby unveils its fourth beckoning entitled “Nocturnal Will”.

With six hymns, Dödsrit purveys triumphant atmosphere, archaic strength, and mournful rejoice where every note reverberates with the weight of devotion and suffering.

Restless and visceral, these unhallowed tomes beckon the mournful chants from its resonant harmonious introduction to the victorious dagger in the very core of the cosmos under the celestial will of heroic bloodshed.

Utterly dynamic and organic, “Nocturnal Will” carries the elements of a record to be beheld through the ages. From feral wailing vocals, coupled with an intricate guitar work – blazing with catchy yet somber melodic leads and acoustic lines – to the unrelenting rhythmic, percussive assault, a symbiotic maelstrom of sound is created with captivating and harrowing virtues.

Written in blood and fire, “Nocturnal Will” carried the nostalgia and grief of olden days into a new Aeon, with a will and command, a genuine fervor that shines beyond the burning ember and the smothering ash.

“Nocturnal Will” is set to unleash its flames on March 22 via Wolves of Hades on LP, CD, MC, and Digitally.
