Blasphemy was initially formed in 1984 by childhood friends Nocturnal Grave Desecrator and Black Winds and 3 Black Hearts of Damnation and Impurity, joined shortly after by guitarist Caller of the Storms. They went on by various names (including Antichrist and Desaster) before settling for Blasphemy in 1987. Since the early days, the band members quickly established a reputation for violence and criminal activities. Consequently, most of them had stints in prison and problems with the law; the violence also spread to their live performance with frequent fights and bloodshed both on stage and in the crowd. Black Winds left the band during the first few days of the Fuck Christ Tour in 1993, after problems with bass player Ace Necrosleezer. For the rest of the tour, Ace replaced Black Winds on lead vocals. Blasphemy split up shortly after the Fuck Christ tour, but reformed in 1999, including the original line-up as well as Ryan Förster on the second guitar, and have been somewhat sporadically active ever since.

The blood and fire spewed forth onstage by Noctem is a visceral, fitting companion to their unrivaled sound, a vicious black metal assault enhanced with a signature Iberian flourish. Arguably the best-known extreme metal export from Spain, Noctem’s ungodly path put them in front of cult audiences around the world, across Europe, Asia, Russia, and North America. Frontman and founder Beleth graced the cover of the Spanish edition of Metal Hammer in 2018 as a “Héro” of the genre.
The first metal band from Spain to perform in China, Noctem’s unrelenting touring saw them team up with the likes of Marduk, Batushka, Napalm Death, Immolation, and many more over the years. Dozens of prestigious extreme festivals added them to their lineups, including Bloodstock Open Air (UK), Motocultor Festival (FR), Metaldays (Slovenia), and many more.
The band unveiled its fifth full-length studio album, The Black Consecration, in 2019. New Transcendence declared, “The Black Consecration is a superb album, littered with secrets and enticing riffs,” making favorable comparisons to early Emperor and Dark Funeral. Metal Hammer Portugal wrote, “in this particular genre, it is perhaps one of the best Spanish works ever of its kind.”
Noctem follows that career landmark with a new, definitive masterpiece, merging the crushing cacophony of angry, adrenaline-fuelled lust with newfound sorrows and mournful melodic might. Credo Certe Ne Cras (“I Believe With Certainty That There is No Tomorrow”) is a work of art. The album demands to be experienced as much as listened to, invoking ritualistic examination.
As emphasized in the brilliant album opener “I Am Alpha,” Beleth conceived of Noctem over 20 years ago. It grew to monstrous proportions, embodied in the album closer “We Are Omega,” which celebrates the unstoppable lineup completed by Moss (guitars), Tobal (guitars), Varu (bass), and Voor (drums). The band and its ever-widening audience are legions, united in misanthropy and anguish.
Credo Certe Ne Cras broadens its old-school-sounding predecessor's raw, filthy fury with bigger production and melody without sacrificing the frostbitten 200 mph winds of anger and blast beats.
Starting in 1989, Sinister was a band
arising in the middle of the Death-Metal hype. Mike, André, Aad en Ron
were joining forces and the Sinister sound was born. After releasing a
demo, a promo tape followed. Sending out the promo to various labels
resulted in signing up at Nuclear Blast Records, Germany 1991. Their
debut CD ‘Cross the Styx’ saw the light in early 1992, and sold many
copies worldwide.
Many live shows all over Europe followed.
Touring with bands like Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse and Deicide
increased the number of people knowing Sinister. In the years after
that, Sinister succeeded in maintaining their popularity by releasing
their second and third album ‘Diabolical Summoning’ (1993) and ‘Hate’
(1995) and doing many live shows all over Europe and a very successful
55 show-tour through all the USA. Starting in 1989, Sinister was a band

The history of Scent of Death begins in September 1998, when Jorge (ex-Suffer Age),and Carlos (ex-Osmosis), decide to improve their concept of Death Metal. On December, same year, Bernardo and Nuno (ex-Osmosis) joined the band. With Jorge and Bernardo on guitars, Carlos on bass and Nuno on drums, Scent of Death was born. In the beginning, conception of the first songs and many hours of rehearsals it's all. The band began to record on September 2001, at Taller de Música, Ourense, Spain. As a result, they released their first MCD, entitled "Entangled in Hate", which was produced and edited by their own. Vocals were performed by Bernardo, assisted on high vocals by Jorge At the end of November of the 2002, Scent of Death finds a new vocalist, Lois. With this new incorporation, the band plays a lot of gigs in Spain and Portugal from 2002 to 2004, playing in the most important underground festivals of these countries. In February 2004, Nuno leaves Scent of Death and the band starts the search for a new drummer. He was replaced by Alfred Berengena, drummer of catalonian Brutal Death Metal band Baalphegor, as a session drummer for the new album. The band signed with Bloody Productions from Spain, in December 2004 for the releasing of Scent of Death´s first album. In January 2005 the drum sessions were recorded at Tribal Art Music Studios, Girona, and in March 2005 the band entered at GonSound Studios, in Vigo, to record, produce and master all the rest with Gonso Pedrido, one of the most important producers in the spanish extreme metal scene . The final result is a full-length CD of FAST, EXTREME AND DARK DEATH METAL, called "Woven in the book of hate", with a great production and massive sound. It was released in June 2005 through Bloody Productions. In 2007 a new drummer, Jorge, joined the band. The band starts the rehearsals and live performances, but in 2010 this new member leaves the band by several musical reasons A new search begins for another drummer, finding the best and most brutal option in Rolando "demolition man" Barros, a legendary musician in the Portuguese underground scene. Lois is expelled from the band because of their lack of interest and he was quickly replaced by Sergio M. Afonso, who provides a higher degree of brutality to the line-up with his voice. After six years, in September 2011, the band stars the recording of the new album, with the drums sessions by Rolando Barros at Brugostudio in Lisbon. In December 2011 the band recorded the rest of the instruments and vocals in a local studio. At the end of January 2012 the sessions was ready to be sent to the producer André Tavares, based in Lisbon, for mixing and mastering, with spectacular results in sound, performance and production. Finally in May 2012, the mastering was finished. The new album is entitled "Of Martyrs's agony and Hate" and is an amazing step forward for the band, evolving into darkness, technique and composition. The cover is a masterful piece of blasphemous art by Yumali Katani, from Metal Artist, and represents a reflect of the brutality inherent in the music of this work. The band signed again with Bloody Productions for a limited vinyl edition of the new album in 2013, and the Cd edition was released through Pathologically Explicit Recordings.
''1997 was the year when the being known as Non Opus Dei came into existence. As you can see, it resulted in many years of search. Search connected with both sound and ideas. The album that will be published by Witching Hour is some kind of a summary of the way we have been following all these years. So many years of working together -
Klimorh (guitar, vocals, lyrics) - the founder of the band, Gonzo (drums) - the first album with him was "The Quintessence"Budda (guitar), and Rochu (bass) - both of them joined the band soon after the recording session of "The Quintessence".
After these years of working together, we knew exactly what we wanted to achieve while we were creating such extremity as "Eternal Circle". Once we started composing the new songs, there was no place for any random action. The Eternal Circle of our drummer was set in motion and it did not stop, providing us with extremely fast and massed variety of blasts. Anyway, it is not possible to describe the extremity of this album, you just have to listen to it.''
