This band's name makes me think of Denmark:

Best death/blackish material I heard this year.
The main riff on the second track is craaaaazy  The one after the chorus on Coronal Mass Ejacultion is just as good, groovy as fuck.
Production should also be mentioned, more bands could learn a thing or two...

What makes this so fucking great is excellent riffage all over every song. Never heard of these guys before!
By the way, the first track is called Coronal Mass Ejaculation.

Opening riff on the second track is everything in the universe, reminds me of the glorious moments from The Ruins of Beverast.

The perfect vocalist. Isn't this "KzR" Okoi Thierry Jones, a new vocalist from Witchrist? Is this the same guy?

I doubt since both Bölzer members are from Switzerland and live there and Witchrist is from New Zealand where the band members live

...so we have two guys with the same nickname here (weird shit as it's quite specific).

According to MA it is the same guy, but I find it highly unlikely

Hmm, MA is not a 100% reliable source, as we all know. Other informations, unfortunately, I've not found. Well, I would have to wait for the next Witchrist album and see for yourself. I would like to localize other projects (if any) of this mysterious gentleman.

Remember how Invictus Productions is an Irish label.
what does that have to do with a Swiss and New Zealand band? And neither are on Invictus. But it wouldn't surprise me if Darragh would know if it's the same guy.
EDIT: Forgot that Witchrist used to be on Invictus

Bölzer's Soma EP will be released through Invictus Productions (early 2014).

3) ... Bölzer will be making their first appearance at Maryland Deathfest in 2014." http://www.marylanddeathfest.com/band/bölzer
Which is incorrect since Roadburn is about a month earlier. Unless they mean the frst time they'll be playin Maryland Deathfest.
Not sure if the band has ever played live, yet.

Well it's something they wrote, but I think they mean it's the first time Bölzer plays at their festival.

You're welcome. There might be some more info available, but I didn't want to browse forever.

Though I enjoyed the first two tracks more then the final one, still it doesn't make the whole album any less pleasing. Some vocals sound like a howling wolf which is not bad at all

Nothing more or less than very good. I certainly don't feel like I was misled in any way coming into this record, though, so I appreciate the accurate depiction of this original band. Thanks for the recommendation, guys.

Old school death brought out in a really amazing black-ish style. Very solid stuff. I would've preferred a full-length release after this to see how well these guys perform on a LP but it seems they have planned yet another EP for 2014. Still stoked to see that anyway.

Couldn't get enough of this at first and still think it's great, but there's something about the sound of the cymbals that's been driving me crazy for the past few spins. Don't know if it's my speakers/headphones or not, but they sound like sleigh-bells to me. Makes it sound all Santa-y

I can definitely hear it too.
The Ep itself doesn't really do anything for me, but I can see why its attained such a following.

Hmmmm....upon a few repeat listenings, I have a more solid opinion of this.
IMO:
1. I definitely wouldn't rate it more than a 7 and more inclined to give it a 6. :thumbsdown:
2. Guitar riffs on track 1 and especially track 2 are really cool.
3. The drummer is boring as bat shit and contributes to a very samey vibe throughout out the whole EP.
4. Songs are over long, especially the bridge bit on the second song.
5. Too much Black Metal influence for my liking - especially in those damned drums but the guitars as well.
6. Don't like Track 3 at all. Given EP has 3 tracks and track 3 is half of it, that's a really bad thing.
Also it doesn't sound that old school DM...dunno about the Black side of it.
Hence not my cup of tea.

I don't think it's much OSDM... a certain vibe it has, but the BM influence gives it another flavor (so not surprised you don't appreciate it). Agree that the bridge on second song is a bit long, only downside for me. Boring drumming is the last thing I'd expect to say from this, one of the highlights for me (the cymbal work is awesome, and rythms don't necessarily follow the riffs the same way which gives them a lot of variety).

The fast drumming is quite samey throughout though.
The third track had too many ideas and seemed less focused and well written than the first two.
