Anyone who has already dealt with the formation around frontman Szivilizs in recent years knows that CHOTZÄ have developed over their previous three albums from an initially rumbly-aggressive black metal band with punk influences (""Plump u Primitiv"", 2014 and 2021) to a technically adept and consistently complex structured band (""Tüüfuswärk"", 2020).Now, a good 4 years after ""Tüüfuswärk"", they are releasing their next piece of puke, which borrows heavily from the song structures of ""Plump u Primitiv"", the re-recorded version of which was also released by Folter Records in 2021.

Formed in 2015, BLOOD CHALICE feature among their ranks a number of Finnish metal veterans, spanning a slew of extreme styles. However, in BLOOD CHALICE, the goal has always remained firm: uncompromising, closeminded BLACK/DEATH savagery. The first strike as such came in 2016 with a self-titled demo, followed the next year by the gutsfucking debut album Sepulchral Chants of Self-Destruction. Diehards hailed the album; the rest recoiled in horror. Typical "Finnish black metal" this was not...
