A space mixture of Morbid Angel,Grave,BoltThrower,Samael...
Hello there freaks.
Check out The Circle Of Zaphyan from Athens/Greece.
The style can be described as sinister/space death metal with an old school production.Malevolent riffs and obscure/nihilistic vocals...
The band is currently on the completions of the recordings of the debut album.We have also a new talanted drummer ,cause our previous one, G.Kollias plays for Nile now..
Check out the website www.ijustgotfuckedintheassbymoonraven.com and download 2 songs from the album.Post your comments here and then rot...

A question, how exactly are vocals nihilistic sounding? Nihilism is a philosophical viewpoint, not a fucking adjective. Riffs can NOT be malevolent. People can be malevolent, but i highly doubt the malevolence of your guitarwork. How exactly is it space death metal? Is it because your lyrics are "spacey", because there is not a fucking thing musically that sounds remotely "spacey". If your lyrics are the only space oriented thing in your music, then you are just plain old death metal with space lyrics, just like amon amarth is just death metal with viking oriented lyrics. And i also wouldnt call your music at all sinister. When i think sinister, i think black metal, dark music, organs, candles, and cheesy make-up. There are none of those elements, well maybe the cheesy make-up, i didnt see any pics on the site, and you do have the bullshit names that every other twatish band who tries to be different has, but still not enough to be sinister. You should seriously rethink your description, not only is it laughable, but the only truth i found is that it is death metal. What i thought of when i read the description was the jetsons with shitty makeup, growling Nietzsche, all being played thru a tin can radio. While close to the quality, the rest of the description is fairly off.
Let us recap:
1- sinister - no
2- space - only in the lyrics
3- death metal - yes
4- production - if by "old school" you mean shitty, then yes
5- malevolent - no, not bad riffing, but fairly blas'e and typical
6- obscure vocals - hardly, they are standard, unintelligible death metal vocals
7- nihilistic vocals - no, nihilism is a thought process, not a fucking adjective.
