HomSelvareg

Italian black metal group whose lyrics and imagery draw on Alpine mountain folklore and Nature. Line-up mentioned in reviews includes Plague (vocals), Hell (drums), Selvan (guitar) and Bazzy (guitar).

Reviewed release: Terremoto - Promo MMVII (2007). Review praises clearer mixing, Plague's vocals, Hell's drumming, and the guitars of Selvan and Bazzy. The band name refers to a mythical, partly human creature tied to Alpine woods. The band was listed to open an Italian date for Shining on September 15 at Transylvania Live in Milan alongside Frangar, Malfeitor and Black Flame (as reported in the review).

A 2007 DeBaser review praises HomSelvareg's Terremoto - Promo MMVII for improved mixing, clear vocals, strong drumming and complex, evocative riffing. The band draws on Alpine folklore and nature themes. The review places the release within a strengthening Italian black metal underground.

For:Fans of black metal, especially listeners of Italian/underground scenes and folklore/nature-infused extreme music.
