Negura
Bunget is black fog rising from a never-ending deep dark forest.
It's a symbolic name that somehow tries to picture the kind of
musical and spiritual atmosphere we'd like to create through our
music. The two words come from the oldest Romanian language
substrate, symbolizing this way tradition and authenticity.
The
Story
Immortally
rising from the spirituality of immortal lands, Negura Bunget
began their journey through the universe of Black Metal in early
1995. The debut demo, From Transilvanian Forests, was recorded
in November 1995, and released under the band's original name,
Wiccan Rede. Once their conceptual perspective shifted
towards the exploration of the universe and spirituality of their
ancestors, the band's name changed to Negura Bunget. The
new approach became clearly evident on the debut album, Zirnindu-sa,
released by the newly founded Romanian label Bestial Records
(late 1996).
December
1998 brought Negura Bunget's second release, Sala
Molksa, a mini-album also released by Bestial Records. The
4 tracks unveil a much more straight-forward sound, complex,
aggressive, atmospheric, fast - The Music of Transilvanian
Spirituality.
Maiastru
sfetnic is the third opus of Negura Bunget. The album was
released by Bestial Records in 1999 in a special digipak
format (designed and handmade by Negura Bunget). More than 56
minutes, yet only 6 epic tracks, united in haunts, evilness, descent,
atmospheres, speed and aggression… displaying the band's
vision on how a Black Metal-based world should have looked
like. Maiastru sfetnic also brought the band a 3-album
contract with Italian label code666 Records. A new track was
recorded specially for code666's compilation Better
Undead Than Alive, and the band's first video was shot for
the same track (Vazduh) in the mountains of Transilvania. ‘N
crugu bradului album, the first one to be released by code666
Records, can be seen as a spiritual endeavor though the essences
of the Transilvanian traditional spirituality. Just 4 tracks,
symbolizing the evolution of a year's 4 seasons, yet 54 minutes
of conceptual Black Metal. The album was released in February 2003.
In
April/March 2004 Negura Bunget embarked on its first European tour,
with gigs in Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Slovakia and Hungary, 2005
saw the release of the limited edition Inarborat Kosmos MCD.
A
second European Tour followed in October-November 2005, in
anticipation of the following album, OM.
OM,
the latest Negura Bunget album, is being released by code666
Records in November 2006 in a special double digipak edition
featuring a CD and a full DVD. With OMNegura Bunget
proposes once again a new complete opus, focused around the
symbolism and signification of one unitary concept. Romanian language
offers a vast and complex signification: OM means MAN (the human
being), but OM is also the main contemplative state for elevation in
traditional esotericism. A new extended European Tour took place
in April/May 2007, with the band performing more than 40 concerts
throughout the Europe.
In
October 2007 Negura Bunget signed a contract with German label
Lupus Lounge / Prophecy Production followed by the release in
2008 of the early Negura Bunget albums on a special digipak
edition. A live DVD was also recorded at the beginning of 2008 and is
planned to be released in 2009.
The
begging of 2008 marked yet another European tour for Negura Bunget.
In
the summer of 2008 Negura Bunget played some of the most
important Metal Festivals: Wacken Open Air and Summerbreeze.
Another
extended European Tour was completed in October/November 2008.
The
spring of 2009 bought new challenges for the Negura Bunget.
Founding member Hupogrammos, along Sol Faur left the
band, and a new line-up was formed, featuring Corb on guitars
and vocals and Spin on guitars. The first gigs in the new
line-up are planned for spring, and include Graspop Festival, My
Metal Festival, Brutal Assault Festival and Hole in the Sky
Festival.

My new 3 album box set ODESSA delves into the disgusting involvement the United States government had in hiding Nazi war criminals that were deemed, "intelligence assets", to be used against the Russians. ODESSA also examines the enthusiastic role the Franciscan Order, Argentinian and Chilean Governments, and Arab leaders who hated the Jews played in hiding and finding new homes for former fascists. It seems many nations had a reason to keep these monsters from being captured, and this is my attempt to expose the establishment of a Fourth Reich in South America that still exists to this day.
