The first one who tried to preach
xianism here (Ap. Andrew) ended
hanged on an inverted cross with his head down, after he was
cursed by the locals.
23 of April, his death day, is now celebrated
"as the day when the dead come for blood in the living world".
They also came from the
Land from beyond the forests, country of
Dracula, of the vampires,
and we come with all the mysteries and
magic of these immortal places ... "The people of Wallachia is
highly non-believer
and spoiled, not even bad if praised by them,
nor the king, the relative
or friend. They deceive everybody. Great
layers and well known bandits, always ready to swear and
doublecross later with no remorse. Never ever to be trusted".
In '95
under the name of Wiccan Rede they recorded their first
demo "From Transylvanian Forests", including 6 tracks of pure Transylvanian
black metal.
Under similar circumstances,
at the end of '96 they have recorded
their
first full length LP, "Zârnindu-s?"... A further step into the
world and spirituality of our ancients. See for amazing archaic
romanian lyrics !!!
ALBUM.....
PRICE INCLUDES POSTAGE AND HANDLING
The band was formed in 1995 under the name
of WICCAN REDE by Huppogramos (guit/bass/vocals),Black Pharmakeya Peporomenee
(drums) and Valah (keyboards). They released their first and only demo
called "From Transylvanian Forests" in the same year, which got the atention
of a guy called Adi Mihailov who helped them record and release their debut
album, "Zirnindu-sa", shortly after kicking Valah out of the band. They
did it under their new name, NEGURA BUNGET, on Mihailov's new borned label,
called
Bestial Records, at the end of 1996. Today
this label has turned his back to underground metal, releasing all kind
of doom/gothic faggots, even a christian band.
Although their old name was strongly related
to Aleister Crowley, they never sang about his writings or beliefs, but
pure Transylvanian spirituality. The titles of the demo are written in
latin, but soon they began to use archaic Romanian for their titles and
lyrics, as soon as they changed their name. Actually, "Negura Bunget"
means a fog that rises upon a darkest forest.
The album had a great unexpected response,
and I must say, that the band unfortunately became some kind of super stars
to all the Romanian black metal "evil want to be" kids, who filled up the
halls where NB had gigs. Anyway, "Zirnindu-sa" is now available on CD (as
Bestial Rec. released it only on cassette) through Breath of Night in US.
Negura Bunget fight for the revival of the ancient Dacian morals / beliefs. Most of people think they are NS, but in fact they are just true Nationalists and they never said they were Socialists.
At the moment they are prepared to unleash
their 2nd album, called "Sala molksa" (which is the name of the Supreme
God of our Dacian forefathers, also known as Zalmoxis). It seems like they're
going to release it on Bestial Records, which truly SUCKS, but who knows...
it is said they also have a deal going on with a French label, so I hope
they spit at Mihailov's face and follow the true path of UG metal. B.P.P.
has just changed his name to "Negru" (Black),
and they seem to have another member in the band, Spurcatu (The foul) on
bass. The keyboards are still done by Vampyr (who is still just a session-member
for live appearances and, actually, the vocalist's brother).
