Negura Bunget is a black metal
band from Romania.
They proudly came from the land of the ancient Dacians ("The
most wise and brave among all the Tracians"), followers of
Zalmoxis, the God of human sacrifices, of immortality ... "Strong
believers in immortality, brave and cruel without ends, sparing,
scornfull towards death, with strong volition and bright mind ...
their duplicity and hypocrisy were well known among the Ancient
World".
The
first one who tried to preach xianism here (Ap. Andrew) ended
hanged on an inverted cross with his head down, after he was
cursed by the locals. 23 of April, his death day, is now celebrated
"as the day when the dead come for blood in the living world".
They
also came from the Land from beyond the forests, country of
Dracula, of the vampires, and we come with all the mysteries and
magic of these immortal places ... "The people of Wallachia is
highly non-believer and spoiled, not even bad if praised by them,
nor the king, the relative or friend. They deceive everybody. Great
layers and well known bandits, always ready to swear and
doublecross later with no remorse. Never ever to be trusted".
In '95 under the name of Wiccan Rede they recorded their first
demo "From Transylvanian Forests", including 6 tracks of pure
Transylvanian black metal.
Under similar circumstances, at the end of '96 they have recorded
their first full length LP, "Zârnindu-s?"... A further step into
the
world and spirituality of our ancients. See for amazing archaic
romanian lyrics !!!

PRICE INCLUDES POSTAGE AND HANDLING
The band was formed in 1995 under the name
of WICCAN REDE by Huppogramos (guit/bass/vocals),Black
Pharmakeya Peporomenee (drums) and
Valah (keyboards). They released their first and only demo called "From
Transylvanian Forests" in the
same year, which got the atention of a guy called Adi Mihailov who helped
them
record and release their debut album,
"Zirnindu-sa", shortly after kicking Valah out of the band. They did it
under
their new name, NEGURA BUNGET, on Mihailov's new borned label, called
Bestial Records, at the end of 1996. Today
this label has turned his back to underground metal, releasing all kind
of
doom/gothic faggots, even a christian band.
Although their old name was strongly
related to Aleister Crowley, they never sang about his writings or beliefs,
but
pure Transylvanian spirituality.
The titles of the demo are written in latin, but soon they began to use
archaic
Romanian for their titles and lyrics,
as soon as they changed their name. Actually, "Negura Bunget" means
a fog
that rises upon a darkest forest.
The album had a great unexpected
response, and I must say, that the band unfortunately became some kind
of
super stars to all the Romanian
black metal "evil want to be" kids, who filled up the halls where NB had
gigs.
Anyway, "Zirnindu-sa" is now
available on CD (as Bestial Rec. released it only on cassette) through
Breath of
Night in US.
Negura Bunget fight for the revival of
the ancient Dacian morals / beliefs. Most of people think they are NS,
but in
fact they are just true Nationalists and they never said they were Socialists.
At the moment they are prepared
to unleash their 2nd album, called "Sala molksa" (which is the name of
the
Supreme God of our Dacian forefathers,
also known as Zalmoxis). It seems like they're going to release it on
Bestial Records, which truly SUCKS,
but who knows... it is said they also have a deal going on with a French
label,
so I hope they spit at Mihailov's face and follow the true path of UG metal.
B.P.P.
has just changed his name to "Negru"
(Black), and they seem to have another member in the band, Spurcatu (The
foul) on bass. The keyboards are still
done by Vampyr (who is still just a session-member for live appearances
and,
actually, the vocalist's brother).
