Dead Reptile Shrine - A Journey Through the Darkest of Forests

Obscure ritualistic occult black metal. One could describe this sounds as a weird mix of Circle of Ouroborus and Spear of Longinus with old Absurd / Graveland plus a touch of old Bathory, but of course it is purely original work, especially considering the non-metal tracks, vocals, lyrics and whole aura. Some DRS releases can be still obtained via http://www.neuroscan.org/mailorder/

“Werewolf Records, being in a longtime fan of Dead Reptile Shrine, released this 80-minute CD containing recordings from 2001-2005 a.y.p.s.. It was limited to 500 copies and was the first of the label’s releases to be sold out. Out of respect for the label, mostly black metal recordings were chosen for the CD, yet enough diverse experimental and ritual sounds were included to lay down the alchemical prospects inherent in our work. For parts of this album, Dead Reptile Shrine was a band containing three members but this formation was later abandoned. The themes range from magical journeys to philosophies of satanism and fascism. It contains our favorite Dead Reptile Shrine recordings but split the opinions of the black metal reviewers who were not expecting to stumble upon this kind of horror.
By the way, 300 tapes of this were produced by Antihumanism (http://www.antihumanism.cjb.net/) in the beginning of 2007. Get it while you can!” (http://www.geocities.com/verilyhty/drs2.htm)
