Press Reviews HIEMS “ LA MARCIA DELLE LEGIONI“ Stupendo e furioso gruppo di Novara! Un pugno nello stomaco ai falsi perbenisti o gente del genere!! La produzione e’ molto fredda e ci raggela le ossa, come al solito la velocità è di casa per fornire tutta la rabbia necessaria che gli Hiems vogliono esprimere!!! Mi pare proprio che i blacksters in questione ispirino la loro musica alle glorie passate di gruppi come Hellhammer, Possessed ecc.. Infatti il sound che ne scaturisce e’ come già detto pesante e brutale con stacchi più lenti che si alternano alle classiche corse all’impazzata della batteria per sostenere quella velocità propria del black metal. e-mail: hiemss@hotmail.com HIEMS (ITA) "As Life fades away" demo M.td.M. This will definitely be one of my favourite demo for long time, yes really long time. I guess it will not easy to find something better than this.. It's simple supreme! It surprised me so much a solitary guy from Italy with his unknow project was able to create a such incredible demo. I'm still incredolous but it's true: raw & gloomy black metal played in a really malicious way. In the start I thought I was a bit partial because of my passion for raw black metal à la Darkthorne and first Burzum but no way: this demo is fucking good! Get it now! PS.Next work out soon without drums machine (the only not so perfect thing in this demo even it's a typical thing in every solo-project) The Reaper B This Italian fast Pure Black Metal band has a demo which contains 5 dark songs with full of hate.I love this style of Black MetalThis is raw.I think everything is OK but recording could be better.If you like underground cool Black Metal materials this is for you.......
