So, I guess this isn't out yet?

Noktu

We're waiting for the delivery of the album this week.

We'll also have the limited CD of Arcanus Tenebrae.

"Hornets of the Pogrom" is available now.
Given that I have the promo version of the album, I don't have the booklet and the information concerning the artwork which is absolutely great in my opinion.
The album cover seems to be an old painting but I am not sure.
Who is the author of the artwork ?
Thanks for your help.

Anyway, you were right Noktu, "Hornets of the Pogrom" is a must of old-school death metal. Don't hesitate to post the links of the reviews (if you find them in the net).
Total support !

It's a painting called "The Revolt of Cairo" (or possibly "The Revolt at Cairo", not sure) by Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson. A remarkable piece of art, just like all the other paintings used by Arghoslent.

'Hornets of the Pogrom' is absolutely awesome. I hate to sound like a band whore, but I have probably heard it about a 100 times in the last month and it has not gotten old yet.

I totally agree, this is a fucking masterpiece, their best album for sure!!! Each second of music is fantastic!!!

Arghoslent "Hornets of the Pogrom" CD Review :
http://www.imm3moria.org/v4/index.php?option=com_simple_review&review=759&Itemid=28

This album is an absolute masterpiece of old-school death metal.
I love this cd !
In your opinion, are the two first albums better than "Hornets of the Pogrom" or not ?
What are your opinions about their ancient releases ?
Thanks for your answers.

Noktu

HOTP is their best album for me and Arghoslent is the best DM band I've ever heard.

The new album is perfect at all points.

We'll release soon a split with 4 new songs with Canadian of MARTIAL BARRAGE.

Haunting Chant

I've just been listening to the Martial Barrage samples available on their website and it sounded quite interesting to me, even if the full length sound is weird, too much effects on voice or guitars. Well there are some filler moments too...

The lyrics were well written at least, though quite obscure to understand.

Aren't any members of the Alberta scene involved in that band ? Axis of Advance or Rites of thy Degringolade/Warmach are names coming to mind...

Are the Arghoslent tracks from the same recording session than HOTP or newly recorded ones ?

Arghoslent recorded 4 extra tracks during the recording of Hornet. These tracks will be used for the split with MARTIAL BARRAGE.

I cannot tell you more about M.B.

I received and listened (only one time !) the version vinyl of this album.
It is one of the best albums DM of our decade. This album outclasses the preceding albums definitively. Except my DM discs of the 80', 90', I do not listen DM 00' except MORBID ANGEL and ARGHOSLENT (sometimes 2 or 3 other groups).
This monument of the DM underground will mark the history.
I re-listening this disc on my turntable vinyl…

So what's the situation with the demo collection and Incorrigible Bigotry digipak?

I hope that Martial Barrage gets their side of the split recorded soon, can't wait to hear the new version of "The Ghosts of Flossenburg".

EDIT: Found this rather interesting review of Hornets: http://www.unholycult.com/Arghoslent.html
