Recenze/review - BESTIA ATER - Anno Bestia Chrysallis (2021)


BESTIA ATER - Anno Bestia Chrysallis
CD 2021, vlastní vydání

for english please scroll down

Pokaždé, když čekám, tak jsem napnutý. Někdy se modlím, jindy poslouchám hodně nahlas muziku. Vražda ve vedlejší ulici se stala teprve včera a mrtvolu mi přivezou každou chvíli. Oběť i její pachatel jsou známi. Tělo bude zohavené, mám se připravit na pořádný masakr. Vyberu rakev, přidám hlasitost na přehrávači a přemýšlím, jaký hrob vykopu. Jsme na konci řetězce. Ale také na počátku něčeho nového, jsme převaděči na onen svět. Prvotina bulharských BESTIA ATER mě ubezpečila v tom, že smrt je někdy hodně krutá.

Pánové hraji starý prašivý death metal, který vám zaručí pohřeb do země. Zazní ale i black metalové pasáže, které dodávají desce na chladu a ještě větší temnotě. Kapela je složena ze samých zkušených muzikantů a vy si tak můžete vychutnat krásně morbidní zážitek. Tohle album vás přikove na zeď!


"Anno Bestia Chrysallis" je agresivní záležitostí a nezapomíná se ani na techniku. Hlavní je ale u skladeb atmosféra, která je hodně divoká, šílená. Mocný, hutný zvuk, spousta zajímavých momentů, odér pravé smrti, tohle všechno v sobě novinka obsahuje. V márnici se mnou rozmlouvají nemrtví a chtějí po mě, abych jim desku pouštěl stále dokola. Obětem pomáhá zapomenout na vše hrozné, co se jim na našem světě stalo. Jsem pokaždé rád, když potkám podobné kapely jako BESTIA ATER. Dodávají mi naději. Vše navíc korunují ponuré, surové texty. Bulharům se povedlo složit komplexní dílo, které se skvěle poslouchá. Ani k tomu nemusíte být mrtví. Mají v sobě feeling starých death metalových časů, ale zároveň se nejedná jen o obyčejnou kopii věcí minulých. Už teď se těším na další den, na další mrtvé tělo, na to, až si zase narvu do hlavy "Anno Bestia Chrysallis". Ještě musím vykopat další hrob. Ve zmrzlé zemi. Duchové zemřelých jsou mi svědky, že už teď vím, co budu při kopání poslouchat. BESTIA ATER jsou pro mě velkým překvapením tohoto měsíce a také důkazem, že pravá smrt ještě existuje. Desku doporučuji všem nemrtvým! Zabijácká záležitost!


Asphyx says:

Every time I wait, I'm tense. Sometimes I pray, other times I listen to music very loudly. The murder on the side street only happened yesterday, and the corpse will be brought to me at any moment. The victim and its killer are known. My body for today will be mutilated, I have to prepare for a proper dissection. I choose a casket, add volume to the player, and wonder what grave to dig. We are at the end of the chain. But also at the beginning of something new, we are converters to the afterlife. The original of the Bulgarian BESTIA ATER assured me that death is sometimes very cruel.

The Gentlemen, I play old dusty death metal, which will guarantee you a funeral in the ground. There will also be black metal passages, which give the record a cold and even greater darkness. The band is composed of experienced musicians themselves and you can enjoy a beautifully morbid experience. This album will nail you to the wall!



"Anno Bestia Chrysallis" is an aggressive matter and technique is not forgotten. But the main thing about the songs is the atmosphere, which is very wild, crazy. Powerful, dense sound, lots of interesting moments, the abrasion of true death, all this contains this album. The undead talk to me in the morgue and they want me to play the record over and over again. It helps victims forget all the terrible things that have happened to them in our world. I'm always happy to meet similar bands like BESTIA ATER. They give me hope. In addition, everything is crowned by gloomy, raw lyrics. The Bulgarians managed to compose a complex work that is great to listen to. You don't even have to be dead to do that. They have the feeling of old death metal times, but at the same time it's not just an ordinary copy of things of the past. I'm already looking forward to another day, to another dead body, to getting "Anno Bestia Chrysallis" in my head again. I still have to dig another grave. In the frozen ground. The spirits of the dead are witnesses to me that I already know what I will listen to when digging. BESTIA ATER are a big surprise for me this month and also a proof that true death still exists. I recommend the album to all the undead! A killer matter!

A few questions - interview with death metal band from Bulgaria - BESTIA ATER.

A few questions - interview with death metal band from Bulgaria - BESTIA ATER.

Answered Dinko Dimov and Kiril, thank you!

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

Dinko Dimov: Hi there, we are BESTIA ATER - a death metal band formed 2018 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Back then Kiril Kirilov and I joined our forces to create a band, playing our favorite music style - a combination of old school American Death Metal and Scandinavian Black Metal.


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

Dinko Dimov: Our new album is called ANNO.BESTIA.CHRISALLIS. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at MRDR Sound Studio, Sofia, Bulgaria by me and Ivo Ivanov.


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

Dinko Dimov: We released 1000 CD copies. The album is also available in digital format at Bandcamp and all other digital platforms.

Kiril: As Dinko is being modest as a creator of all the artwork for the album, I must say that we’ve managed to produce a really nice edition of the CD and to have some added value for fans and collectors.


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

Dinko Dimov: Kiril Kirilov wrote all the lyrics. They're all about relationship between humans and demonic entities, both beneficial and detrimental. Each song is named under a specific demon.

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?

Dinko Dimov: I did the album artwork. As a professional artist, it was real pleasure for me to create all these creatures. The logo is also created by me.


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

Dinko Dimov: Our album is self produced and released.

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

Dinko Dimov: There are countless bands who we respect. For me personally, the masterminds behind these bands are most important. Fredrik Schalin, Alex Webster, Trey Azagthoth, Patrick Mameli... just to name a few.

Kiril: As a vocalist, I admire the work of Chuck Schuldiner, Glen Benton, Kam Lee.

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

Kiril: We have decided to go on our own so we didn’t sent records to any label. Probably for the new material in the future we will send records to a few labels to find out how they see our music.


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?

Kiril: Due to the times we live in we have only one live performance so far. It was at Sea of Black festival in Burgas, Bulgaria in August 2020. We are looking forward to have the opportunity to make a proper live promotion of our album after there will be no restrictions for making concerts. Of course we will be very happy to have gigs at some festivals like Wacken or sort of.

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

Dinko Dimov: All we want is to create ferocious music, filled with passion and dark melodies.
