Recenze/review - BLOOD CHALICE - The Blasphemous Psalms of Cannibalism (2022):
https://www.deadlystormzine.com/2022/09/recenzereview-blood-chalice-blasphemous.html

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.?

H.V: Hello. We are Blood Chalice from Finland and we play uncompromised Black metal.

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?

H.V: The Blasphemous Psalms of Cannibalism was recorded during the winter 2021-2022. Album was recorded by studio live fashion. Meaning that all the instruments were recorded at the same time. This way we managed to get the same feeling as playing live. Teemu Heinola recorded, mixed and mastered the album and V.P was mainly on charge of the production. After The first album it was clear to us we wanted more raw sound than on the first album, and I think the album sounds just the way it was suppose to sound.


How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)?

H.V: We do not concern ourselves with such things. That's labels job.

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

H.V: On this album P.H is on charge of the lyrics. Although I made some lyrics to The Rise of Iconoclast but trusted P.H to finnish them. Lyrics swirl around worship, blasphemy and hate.

Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

H.V: I created the logo back in the day when we started. Album cover was once again conjured by PahaPasi and Layout was made by SG.7. We take turns on managing our social network. Though we do not really care about it too much - I suppose it's a necessary evil.


Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

H.V: After The first album it was clear that we wanted to change the label. As the previous label did not meet with our expectations. We appreciate the collobration but it was time to move on. As Werewolf Records was intrested on us it was an easy choice to join with them. We are more than pleased so far.

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

H.V: For me it has always been Beherit. VP.L is probably the biggest Conqueror and Revenge maniac in the world. Of course Blasphemy, Archgoat, Proclamation and Black witchery plays a big role on our music too. Not mention all the other music too - not just Black metal.

Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

H.V: We didn't need to.

How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

H.V: Hard to say for sure, but I suppose somewhere around 50? It's always nice to play outside of Finland but then again this years Steelfest was really good.


What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?

H.V: We have some plans about touring but nothing is confirmed yet. For now we have few shows on Finland coming up. Other than playing live - we don't plan toi much. The music comes out naturally when the time is right.

How and where can your fans contact you? Can you provide some contact information?

H.V: Best way to contact us is by the email.

Thanx for the interview.

H.V: Thank you.

Recenze/review - BLOOD CHALICE - The Blasphemous Psalms of Cannibalism (2022)


BLOOD CHALICE - The Blasphemous Psalms of Cannibalism
CD 2022, Werewolf Records

for english please scroll down

Na počátku byl chaos. Alespoň se o tom píše v chytrých knihách. Z něj vyšly kapely jako BLOOD CHALICE. Démonický, šílený, devastující black death metal plný rouhání, obrácených křížů, satanismu. Jedná se přesně o ten druh obřadu, který buď milujete nebo nenávidíte. Skřehot a vřískot ze samotného pekla. Touha ničit hudbou. Tohle všechno pánové umí na výbornou. 

Není to ale jenom masakr, který zní z reproduktorů. Je to i spousta mrazivých melodií, které vás navěky proklejí. Na primitivních, surových základech jsou vystavěny šílené kompozice. Nic pro slabé povahy. Existuje jenom temnota, nenávist a smrt. Svět se zase jednou ztrácí v plamenech. 


Tvář od krve, hnisu a špíny. Čerstvě vykopané hroby. Kosti, vykládané do pentagramu. Na albu nalezneme všechny potřebné atributy pro poctivý pohřeb. Skladby jsou ostré jako skalpel, drásají a pálí. Poslech je spíše rituálem, nechutným obřadem, než jen obyčejnou hudbou. BLOOD CHALICE se pohybují v hlubokém podzemí. Mají skvělý zvuk, obal. Po řemeslné stránce je nahrávka skvělá. Má v sobě ale také spoustu zajímavých nápadů. Toulám se hřbitovem a přidávám neustále hlasitost. Potkávám se s nemrtvými a všichni čekáme na tmu. Dnes by měl přijít i samotný Satan. Usedne na svůj trůn a spokojeně se usmívá. Hraje se tu hlavně pro něj i pro všechny démony. "The Blasphemous Psalms of Cannibalism" patří do starých hrobek. Mezi nemrtvé a prokleté. Svět je zahalen do krvavé mlhy. Tmu prořízne první riff. Vím, že jsem zde správně. Na pradávném obřadu, po kterém zůstane na oltáři spousta krve. Beru do rukou nůž a obracím jej proti sobě. Chci přejít přes řeku Styx, už mám dost světla. Ocitám se v království nihilismu, v oblasti, kde kralují BLOOD CHALICE. Je jen na vás, zda přijmete pozvání. Já už jsem na druhé straně a jsem velmi spokojen. S atmosférou, s hudbou. Vítejte v krvavé temnotě! Black death metalový rituál smrti!


Asphyx says:

In the beginning there was chaos. At least that's what the smart books say. Out of it came bands like BLOOD CHALICE. Demonic, insane, devastating black death metal full of blasphemy, inverted crosses, satanism. It's exactly the kind of ritual you either love or hate. Screams and shrieks from hell itself. The desire to destroy with music. The gentlemen are good at all this.

But it's not just the carnage that comes out of the speakers. It's also a lot of chilling melodies that will curse you forever. On primitive, raw foundations are built insane compositions. Nothing for the weak of character. There is only darkness, hatred and death. The world is once again going down in flames.


A face covered in blood, pus and dirt. Freshly dug graves. Bones inlaid in a pentagram. The album contains all the necessary attributes for an honest burial. The songs are scalpel-sharp, scratching and burning. Listening to them is more of a ritual, a disgusting ceremony, than just plain music. BLOOD CHALICE are deep underground. They have a great sound, a great cover. Craft-wise, the record is great. But it also has a lot of interesting ideas. I'm wandering through the cemetery, turning up the volume all the time. I meet the undead and we're all waiting for darkness. Satan himself should come tonight. He sits on his throne and smiles with satisfaction. It's mostly for him and all the demons. "The Blasphemous Psalms of Cannibalism" belongs in the old tombs. Among the undead and the damned. The world is shrouded in a bloody mist. The first riff cuts through the darkness. I know I'm right here. At an ancient ceremony that leaves a lot of blood on the altar. I pick up the knife and turn it on myself. I want to cross the River Styx, I've had enough light. I find myself in the realm of nihilism, the realm where BLOOD CHALICE reigns supreme. It is up to you to accept the invitation. I'm already on the other side and I'm very happy. The atmosphere, the music. Welcome to the bloody darkness! Black death metal death ritual!
