There were and there always be those, among countless Black Metal bands of different scale and talent, who walked their path but still are in state of endless crazy experiments on themselves and on their sound. Ambiguity, betrayal of strict canons without giving a fuck about someone being confused, another being angry or feeling wounded and scary... BLACKLODGE lead by unchanging Preceptor St. Vincent share it's experience generously and in a pervert, poisonous, hysterical and possessed manner. First time in Russia French TeknoShamans will serve their Black Mass, their Sabbath in the colossal plants of Devil. All the Templars, join!
Blacklodge is producing Industrial Black Metal, at the crossroads of innovative audacity in extreme music creation and rigorous research in dark psychodelic mysticism. Mutation emerging from an underground black metal band called Faust [94/98], Blacklodge started first as a one man band and released 2 demos. Saint Vincent was then joined by Silence and Diam's from his former band. They started to play live and strengthen the identity of the band through substances abuses and rising totemic fascination for contemporary environment and technology. This led to a third demo presenting the band to dark underground through schizoid video clip and personal concept.

The band signed then with the dutch label Blazing Productions for their first album, Login:SataN [03]. This album put the band aside the leaders of a newest front : Industrial Black Metal. Since 2002 Jessy became the bassist of the band, even if Diam's recorded the bass on the album. The band played with Aborym for the first real Industrial Black Metal gigs ever, and presented a very aggressive and original presence on stage.

A new stage of evolution brought the band to new horizons with more courageous, avantgardiste work in a scene where looking backwards stands as a value of integrity and honesty.
Blacklodge came back at the dawn of 2006 with >SolarKult<, recorded at the Necromorbus studio and released by the french label End All Life Productions. A new powerful sound for the band, polluting sonic landscapes with a mix of pure aggressive metal and psychodelic, electronic violence. Their temples and idols are rusted, and new dogmas are rising.
This is the prequel to the new kult.
Chamber of Downfall area
In 2007, Silence left the band and was replaced by Narcotic, who joined the Lodge for an European tour with Horna and Vorkreist. This experience led to a new strong line up, a deep transformation that led the band to leave corpsepaint and go deeper in its own spirit.
A new project was in process, a split with the Austrian masters Abigor. A long, alchemical transformation led in 2010, both band to a deep, spiritually connected work, as a split album dealing with the satanic concept of time. T/ME, brillantly mixed and mastered by Tore Stjerna at the Necromorbus studio and released again by the exigent black metal label End All Life Productions. Wider, deeper, this album presents a more mastered art and a for the band. All what you have reached, is just another step to the end.
It's just a question of time.
BLACKWINGED
Blackwinged stands for the ideals of pure minimalistic Black Metal, without any compromises or any modern influences. Numerous live performances in Russia demonstrated aggressive, powerful and massive sound full of insane Satanic energy! The band supported Russian shows of Enthroned and mighty Inquisition and deserves the status of one of the most interesting live bands from Russia. Blackwinged constantly developing their live performances as well as songwriting and making sound more massive and punishing. Lyrically the band explores the darkest paths beyond the veil of existence based upon Satanic believes and the triumph of Death. http://www.myspace.com/souldeconstruction
NOX NOCTIS
Borderless Russian soils still keep numerous strong bands, who for different reasons dwell in total obscurity. NOX NOCTIS are among them. Still, their first album released by Arma Diaboli speaks for itself and reveals their serious attitude and excellent skills in composing and performin traditional Black/Thrash Metal (still unlike so many useless and toothless copycats) with Russian lyrics. We decided to give them a chance to introduce the band widely and to crush audience with audial whirlwinds. http://armadiaboli.blackterror.org/NN-03.mp3
PSALM 666
The band was introduced to the wide public at Autumanl Obscurantism gig in october 2009 with their countrymen DEVORATOR and Australian legend NAZXUL. Unordinary dissonant melodism, inspired performance and sacrificial blood. Nema. http://www.orthodox666.ru/dclxvi/Leaden%20Grail%20(promo).mp3
