...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Piaty duży album 2025 hiszpańskiego Balmog. Eksperymentalny black metal odlatujący momentami w obszary psychodelicznego rocka, post-punka i tradycyjnego metalu. Od Bathory, Ved Buens Ende aż po Pink Floyd.



Laio means lament in Galizian a title that perfectly defines the intention behind Balmog's fifth studio album. We are facing what is probably the most mature and elaborate album of the band's career, a work made from spontaneousness and viscerally but also from the experience acquired over years, in Laio you can feel the beating of a heart spitting blood and a scream from the depths of Balmog's soul, the virginity and violence of the first albums with the personality and eclecticism of EVE.

From a conceptual point of view, Laio is about how we can be content with being simple pieces of molded mud or how we can shine like the explosion of a dying star, about how we can escape the ways of divinity, ways that can be dark and manipulative. Laio is a cry for independence and rebellion against the divine.

Musically, we are faced with a work that walks between the entire tradition of rock and metal under the unstoppable blade of black metal. A path that wanders between Pink Floyd, Ved Buens Ende or Bathory and Mayhem, a path that will be familiar to many listeners but always with the unmistakable sign of Balmog marked with fire.

This fifth album is an album based on a balance between maturity and impetuousness, this fifth album is the quintessence of Balmog in its purest.



Apart from being a generally well-conceived idea, black metal is also an excellently executed idea, evidenced by thousands if not tens of thousands of bands in existence. Bands coming from all four corners of the world, bringing their own cultural identities to the table and letting them shine through their music. Obviously, black metal being the subject, “shine” is maybe a bit misleading, but you get the idea.

All this makes life much easier for us reviewers, because you can pick any place on Earth, and you’ll find something interesting. Like our guests today, for example. Coming from the town of Soutomaior in the Spanish province of Galicia, Balmog is an undoubtedly interesting band, and also a very experienced one. With a career pushing on two decades, the band has been constantly releasing quality stuff and in good quantity too.

Admittedly, I’ve been a fan of the band ever since I discovered them around the release of their second album Svmma Fide some ten years ago. Trying to avoid here the old circular logic of “I love them because they’re great, and they’re great because I love them”, the feeling is that Balmog showed constant growth with every subsequent release, culminating with their fourth album Eve from 2021 and the Pillars of Salt/Covenants of Salt EPs.

So imagine my complete lack of surprise that the band would surpass the ridiculously high expectations by releasing an absolute gem with their fifth album Laio, out now on War Anthem Records, a German label seemingly so specialized in releasing gems they should consider opening a jewelry store also.

Anyway, Laio. Incidentally and purely accidentally, laio means lament in Galician, so after last week’s Lament from the Polish band Martwa Aura, we find ourselves on the opposite side of Europe, perambulating again on the path of laments.

Thematically, the album continues with the band’s exploration of the esoteric nature of the philosophy of religion and the endless conflict of faith and reason, or in the words of the band themselves:

“From a conceptual point of view, Laio is about how we can be content with being simple pieces of molded mud or how we can shine like the explosion of a dying star, about how we can escape the ways of divinity, ways that can be dark and manipulative. Laio is a cry for independence and rebellion against the divine. ”

This translates very well into the album’s overall sound, which is as varied as they come. Using black metal only as a starting point, the band effortlessly apply different approaches in songwriting, thus creating something that will surely stand out in this year’s slew of great releases.

In practice, the two main strains permeating Laio that we should mention are, firstly, the subtle psychedelic touches, and the other being the gothic rock leanings, all strewn across the album’s slim thirty-nine minutes. Funnily enough, the one band that springs to mind with these variables is the unsurpassable Blue Öyster Cult, and we wouldn’t be far off with that comparison.

Naturally, Balmog’s approach is considerably heavier, prime example being the first single “Mud to Gold” which opens in a familiar way with a smotheringly fast riff, but as it progresses the song opens up to all of the aforementioned influences achieving the sonic divinity, while fighting the religious one.

The album becomes more and more off-beat as songs like “Tongue in Pieces” and “Like God Who Knows” establish themselves by allowing new growth upon the old stones. Roots sprouting through the cracks bring Balc’s vocals to the forefront, and his emotional delivery really brings home the band’s message of rebellion and independence.

Short atmospheric interlude “Ortus Umbra” leads us into the second part of the album, with “Mashalam” being the catchiest of the bunch. Turning the eye of the void towards us, the band light up the fire of unknown origin and outright rock for five minutes straight, really bringing home those BÖC comparisons.

And just when we thought we were out, they pull us back in the clutches of black metal with the majestic “The Silence of the Trumpets”, which picks up the pace even further, true to the genre’s traits. While keeping some of the rocking aspects of the preceding song, this rough beast stalks us from the deep shadows, its hour come round at last, slouching toward Bethlehem to be born.

“Getsemaní”, pushing on almost nine minutes, is one of those slow-burning monsters of a song, and what we would colloquially call a perfect closer. A steady, menacing intro accentuated by heavy bass draws us under the olive trees, burning with treachery and false promises of a kingdom come.

The song never picks up any real speed, but keeps grinding our bones to the ground as the snakes of god slither over them, a paradise lost in tragedy. Again the tortured vocals make for the main driver behind the song, but really the whole band just burns through for us in what is one of the best songs in recent memory.

In the end, this world really needs more ideas, and fewer ideologies. Balmog is here to help us with that transition by releasing an album that is brimming with musical ideas, but also has a strong lyrical message attached to it. The diversity of styles and talent on display are a recommendation in itself, and as the band roams freely between the genres, limiting themselves was never an option. A true work of art.

..::INFO::..

Finntroll to fiński zespół folkmetalowy, założony w Helsinkach w 1997. Zespół wykonuje skoczną, dynamiczną muzykę, łączącą elementy black metalu i fińskiej polki zwanej humppa. Mimo iż jest to fiński zespół, to teksty utworów są w języku szwedzkim, ponieważ ten język brzmi "cholernie trollowato" według Jamsena, założyciela zespołu, którego ojczystym językiem jest właśnie szwedzki. Finntroll został założony w 1997 roku przez Teemu Raimoranta (Somnium), gitarzystę zespołu Impaled Nazarene oraz Jana Jamsena (Katla). Ich pierwsze demo, Rivfader, zostało nagrane rok później, w 1998 r. Po nagraniu dema do zespołu dołączyli Samu Ruotsalainen (z Barathrum i Rapture), Samuli Ponsimaa, Henri Sorvali (z Moonsorrow) i Sami Uusitalo. Podpisany kontrakt z wytwórnią Spikefarm zaowocowało pierwszą płytą Midnattens Widunder wydaną w 1999 roku. Wstawka zawiera trzecie wydawnictwo zespołu - EPkę z 2003 roku. Płyta jest eksperymentem akustycznym. Została wydana w 2003 roku przez Spinefarm Records. Visor om Slutet był wydany po pasmie nieszczęść jakie spotkały zespół. Album jest dedykowany zmarłemu Teemu Raimorancie. Płyta jest akustycznym eksperymentem, została nagrana w lesie niedaleko Helsinek. Na płycie tej zostały użyte przez zespół instrumenty nietypowe dla muzyki metalowej np. mirliton. Choć płyta nie przypominała dotychczasowej twórczości Finntroll, cieszyła się powodzeniem.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Nowy, duży album Azels Mountain to dalsza eksploracja mrocznych sfer, skupionych wokół wewnętrznych przeżyć i duchowych poszukiwań. Zespół dotyka tematów pamięci, krwi, poświęcenia oraz transcendencji, ubierając je w zimniejsze, bardziej przestrzenne formy muzyczne. Całość kształtują zarówno mistyczne refleksje, jak i niepokojące cienie historii najnowszej. Czerpiąc inspiracje ze słowiańskiego dziedzictwa, mistycyzmu, śmierci oraz antyreligijnych kontemplacji, zespół tworzy muzykę przesiąkniętą zimną atmosferą, hipnotycznymi melodiami i nieskrępowaną agresją. Ich brzmienie balansuje między duchem klasycznej fali gatunku a rytualnymi kompozycjami.

W porównaniu z poprzednimi dokonaniami „Echa Krwi” przynoszą wizję dojrzalszą i mocniej zakorzenioną w rodzimej kulturze. Wychodząc poza ramy podziemnego black metalu, album czerpie inspiracje z polskiej muzyki klasycznej, literatury oraz duchowego klimatu wpisanego w narodowe dziedzictwo artystyczne. Kompozycje przepełniają echa melancholii, tęsknoty, dumy i egzystencjalnej walki, co nadaje płycie jednoznacznie polski charakter. W efekcie otrzymujemy materiał, który przywołuje ducha zapomnianych krajobrazów, pamięć przodków oraz niespokojną duszę zakorzenioną w polskiej kulturze, czyniąc z „Echa Krwi” dzieło głęboko osobiste, a zarazem ponadczasowe.

Za oprawę graficzną nowego wydawnictwa odpowiada Sirkis, natomiast sesję fotograficzną zrealizowało Zaćma Visual Studio. Odświeżone logo zespołu to dzieło cenionego na całym świecie projektanta, Christophe'a Szpajdela. Materiał został zarejestrowany w M23 Studio, a jego miksem i masteringiem zajęło się Satanic Audio.

Powstały w 2013 roku, wrocławski Azels Mountain pod koniec czerwca powróci ze swoją trzecią płytą. Tym razem wyda ją Pagan Records, a znajdziecie na niej, oprócz introsa, dziewięć numerów, które są oczywiście utrzymane w black metalowym tonie. To rzecz jasna tradycyjna diabelszczyzna, oparta o wzorce lat dziewięćdziesiątych z pokaźnym pierwiastkiem naszych rodzimych naleciałości, które to połączenie już chyba bardzo dawno zdefiniowało polskie, czarcie granie. „Echa krwi” to mieszanka posępnych i zadzierżystych riffów, i tremolo z nastrojowymi, momentami dość rytualnymi rytmami. W tych wolniejszych i atmosferycznych chwilach czuć, że Wrocławianie stawiają na polską kulturę, bo emanuje z nich nasza, słowiańska dusza, wynikająca nie tylko z historii, lecz również z mistycyzmu naszych przodków. To niezwykle podniosłe i uduchowione formy, które nadają charakter całemu wydawnictwu, wzbudzając w słuchaczu znajome, wręcz patriotyczne uniesienia. Black metalowa martyrologia, ale nie tylko, ponieważ z tych dźwięków snują się również duma, nostalgia, walka z potencjalnym wrogiem i samym sobą. Wszystko co polskie i to, co zostało wyznaczone przez polski romantyzm jest tutaj obecne oczywiście wraz z pogańskimi praojcami i ich wierzeniami. Oprócz tych klimatycznych części składowych panowie potrafią również zdrowo przysolić, przechodząc w ostre ataki, które schładzają powietrze oraz zmieniają usposobienie muzyki z kontemplacyjnego na wrogo nastawione, bojowe kostkowanie. Azels Mountain sprawnie poruszają się po ścieżkach rodzimego black metalu i idealnie w między zimne akordy, wplatają słowiański mistycyzm, tworząc przy tym mroczną i zróżnicowaną gędźbę. Pełno w niej zmiany tempa, riffów i melodyki o różnym natężeniu, ale nigdy zbyt cukierkowej czy jarmarcznej. Sporo także tutaj partii solowych, gitar akustycznych jak i obok szorstkich wokali, czystych zaśpiewów i gniewnych okrzyków. Na wskroś polski materiał wysmażył ten kwintet, ponury, lodowaty i przesiąknięty narodowym etosem i rządzą krwi.

On this new release Azels Mountain continues its descent into darker and more reflective territories, channelling themes of memory, blood, sacrifice and transcendence through a colder, more expansive musical expression shaped by both mystic reflection and the lingering shadows of more recent historical experience.

Compared to previous releases, “Echa Krwi” is a more mature and culturally rooted vision. Beyond the foundations of underground black metal, the album draws inspiration from classical Polish music, literature and the spiritual atmosphere woven through the nation’s artistic heritage. Echoes of melancholy, longing, pride, and existential struggle permeate the compositions, giving the record a distinctly Polish character. The result is an album that channels the spirit of forgotten landscapes, ancestral memory, and the restless soul embedded within Polish culture itself, transforming “Echa Krwi” into something both deeply personal and timeless.

..::OPIS::..

Debiutancka płyta Sacrilegium 'Wicher' doczekała się reedycji na 30-lecie swojej premiery.
Wydany pierwotnie w 1996 roku album to jedno z najważniejszych i najbardziej wpływowych dzieł polskiego black metalu, które uchwyciło mroźnego, pogańskiego ducha tamtej epoki z surowym, melodyjnym rozmachem.



30th anniversary reissue of the iconic Polish black metal album - Sacrilegium's "Wicher. Featuring the original cover art, rediscovered after years.

Originally released in 1996 the album remains one of the most important and most influentaial recordings from Polish black metal scene, rightfully claimed its place among the best releases Poland ever unleashed, damn obscure, epic and original melancholic pagan black metal!



Blast From the Past series is a mini collection of albums reviews for LPs I remember seeing in the local record store when I was first being introduced to Black Metal around late '97/early '98. Either I listened to them and remember how excellent they were and still are today (Horna's "Hiidentorni" and Arckanum's "Kampen" for example) and/or are albums that I didn't give a chance but remembered long enough until finally sitting down and giving them a proper listen. Sacrilegium's "Wicher" is one of those I SHOULD have picked up when my electric eye first spotted a copy of it at the now defunct Woodpecker Records in days of youth and yore.

Sacrilegium is, for the lack of better terms, obscure. Just obscure. If you wanted to find a bonafied obscure metal band for whatever genre, Sacrilegium will fit the fucking bill. Unknown for the most part outside of Poland and I don't even know anyone who has even muttered a word of their existence, which is a bit of a tragedy because these guys could have competed with other black metal bands at the time, but again for whatever reason they just completely went nowhere. "Wicher" is a band that mixes pagan and symphonic black metal into something that sounds pretty damn original. Now don't let symphonic fool you. This is not symphonic as in Dimmu Borgir, but more akin to Limbonic Art. Already this is sounding excellent to my ears. Imagine the symphonic elements of Limbonic Art but mixed in with both old satanic-era and epic Viking/Folk eras of Bathory. There's also hints of "Ablaze"-era Darkthrone, so really it's a mixed bag of goodies. And they're all good. Nothing stupid here folks......but you know what, now that I think about it even more, this is really a more unorthodox style of what Satanic Warmaster plays! YES! I don't know if Werewolf of SW is a fan or has ever heard of these guys, but there are a LOT of similarities between to two.

The trio musicians performing know what they are doing musically. They are obviously past the amateur/demo stage and are now going down their own path, but while being good musicians and being able to deliver even better music, the production is not too good. Although you can hear singer/guitarist/keyboardist Succlagus fairly well, you really can't hear the drums or bass too good. Too drowned out. The drums sound like a live performance. Now this is where I am having trouble with. The sound production is very bland, I still like it and I don't know whether to see this as a negative. But seeing how some songs seem better mixed than others, that at least deducts 10 points. Need not fret, comrades.

The songs are all for the most part excellent, I really don't see any filler here what-so-ever. This is one of those albums where you can listen to all the way through and not get bored. Although the 12 minute epic "Wicher Falami Ognia" may drags on here and there, it's still good if you have the time to sit back and take in the majestic synths and ambience. "Spiew Kruków Czarnych Cieni" is my personal favorite. The keyboard-driven guitars mania is genius.

For 1996, this is pretty damn good. Unfortunately this album is extremely hard to track down seeing it's out of print. The best way to listen to this is on Youtube.com seeing how someone was kind enough to upload the entire album. Check it out, try to track it down, whatever. This album deserves to be in your collection.

'The Secrets Of The Black Arts' do dziś pozostaje niepokonany pod względem czystej muzycznej siły i bluźnierczej treści lirycznej...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLIhmJIBQ9U


"The Secrets of the Black Arts” is an excellent release by a band that was excellent at the time! Unfortunately, some retarded children got into Black Metal at the beginning of this commercial century, and due to their tastelessness and intellectual stillbirth, they seem to feel the uncontrolable need to put this work-of-art down. This is why I have taken it upon myself to set the record straight!

First of all, “The Secrets of the Black Arts” did not come out in 2006, but in 1996, and if heard THEN, was considered to be one of the best albums that had come out of Sweden. I have to say that it is ridiculous for someone who has not experienced the birth and development of BM to bash this album TODAY and criticize the fact it's not " original " or not " innovative “ or " new ". In fact, what does novelty and innovation have to do with Black Metal? This release was a highly pivotal one in the evolution of the Swedish Black Metal scene, for those who care to know or who remember the day this album came out. Another point : those seeking change, innovation or something new should simply stay clear of the whole Black Metal scene, as it is a genre with a strict and unchangeable definition which is meant for the few who understand its obscure beauty. " A black heart will only find beauty in darkness ", as Nödtveidt would have said.


To the music: the lyrics are your typical ones, with words such as "Satan", "shadows" etc returning over and over again. But what would you expect from a BM release??? The sound of the guitars is more or less that of all bands who recorded their albums in The Abyss at that time, yet has a special ring to it. The chords almost sound like an organ being played! Of course, this was long before The Abyss started creating a sound as incredibly artificial as it does today. Themgoroth's voice is perfect, very aggressive and dark, so don’t expect hysterical pseudo-BM vocals. The riffs are mostly fast but melodic, and extremely catchy. The drummer does a very good job, any drummer who has ever tried to play one of the songs would know this. The way the guy changes pace or increases it is awesome! I do not see the point of song nr 10, Satanic Blood, written and originally performed by Von, which really spoils the atmosphere for me.. Except for that, judging only by the band's own compositions, I can only applaud DARK FUNERAL's performance!

To put a fullstop to this review, here's a message to all retards: some of us have been around long enough to know why this album is so great! I doubt there’s anyone involved in the scene for a really long time who does not own and prize this CD. However, if your first experience of Black Metal dates from last Tuesday and you have no special understanding of what real BM is, or worse, think that it's all "just music", refrain from expressing your opinion on “The Secrets of the Black Arts”! You are unworthy of it!!!

Whether you hate em or love em. Dark Funeral is one of the biggest black metal bands in the world. Known for their very straightforward and blast-beat dominant approach. This band hadn’t really done anything out of the ordinary since their birth in 1993. In terms of what I usually gravitate towards when I want to jam black metal, this band is one that I’ve never truly dived into that much. I will say they definitely get over-hated a LOT. However, I have always loved their debut album “The Secret of the Black Arts”. A 90s black metal classic.

Right away this album does not bullshit around. As soon as the title track kicks in it’s guns blazing with intensity. It’s got everything a classic black metal album needs. Evil atmosphere, amazing tremolo riffs, and of course lots of blast beats. If you’re into this band you know how fast and blasty this band can get. I think it works out in their favor, especially on this record. Because everything on this album while it's extremely evil. The aggressive and catchy nature of this album is prominent the whole way through. Making this record a very straightforward yet memorable release.

As I stated before this album is hella fucking fast. And what propels a lot of the momentum and speed is the drums. Goddamn are the blast beats on this album fucking relentless. The same can be said for the pummeling double bass work. Which just pounds and crumbles you under its heavy pressure and intensity. Equimanthorn is a very versatile and effective drummer when it comes to just honing in rhythm and speed. And this album isn’t just 100% blast beats as well. There’s a lot of thrashy drum beats and blistering fills to go along with the blasting. The drums can be very mid-paced, fast, and slow at times. The blast beats can also be slowed down to a degree at times. Making for a very satisfying and strong drum performance.

Black metal has always prided itself on having very high-pitched and haunting vocals. On this record, you have just that. Very aggressive shrieking, snarling, and growling. The vocals really don’t deviate much from this aggressive style of screaming. But it doesn’t matter because the vocals are always aggressive and relentlessly in your face. The occasional layering and reverb on the vocals are also a cool touch. Themgoroth’s vocals are evil, and atmospheric, and flow very well with the rhythms/music.

His bass work is also quite good. For a black metal record, the bass sounds very meaty and primitive. This thick fuzzy tone pairs well with the already fantastic guitar work/tone. Creating a very 90s and evil atmosphere that’s prominent across this entire album. The songwriting is fantastic here as well. Each song delivers pure aggression and energy. And it’s got the great hooks and riffs to back it up.

The production here is amazing. It’s raw, stripped down, yet meaty and powerful. The guitar tone has this very suffocating and misty-like texture to it. That hones in this foggy-like atmosphere I get from this album. As I stated earlier the bass sounds gnarly and is heard across the board. Vocally it’s right in the middle and always in your ears up close and personal. The drums are very powerful and devastating as well. The kick drums especially sound very visceral. Especially when the double bass reaches its top speeds. Overall this album has a perfect black metal production quality.

Now we can finally talk about the wonderful guitar work. Man oh man does this album deliver fantastic and hooky riffs. The tremolos on this album exude a very melancholy and evil energy. That is heard right from the start with the title track. This album also plays around with slower riffs and melodies from time to time. It’s very on the lines of Marduk in terms of how fast and precise sections are. The mid-paced rhythms and tremolos are also very accelerating and hooky. Allowing for some movement and great head-banging beats. The album riffs are chaotic, right, groovy, and very memorable overall.

In conclusion, does this band deserve a lot of the hate they get? No. They don’t. This album proves how great they are at creating intense and memorable black metal. With little to no breathing room. If you want balls-to-the-wall aggression and fast blast beats with your black metal. Something that’s always gonna deliver straightforward yet energetic intensity. This band and album are for you. I would also say this band wouldn’t be a bad place to start if you want to dive even deeper into the genre. So give it a shot. A classic black metal release overall.

'The Secrets Of The Black Arts' do dziś pozostaje niepokonany pod względem czystej muzycznej siły i bluźnierczej treści lirycznej...

"The Secrets of the Black Arts” is an excellent release by a band that was excellent at the time! Unfortunately, some retarded children got into Black Metal at the beginning of this commercial century, and due to their tastelessness and intellectual stillbirth, they seem to feel the uncontrolable need to put this work-of-art down. This is why I have taken it upon myself to set the record straight!

First of all, “The Secrets of the Black Arts” did not come out in 2006, but in 1996, and if heard THEN, was considered to be one of the best albums that had come out of Sweden. I have to say that it is ridiculous for someone who has not experienced the birth and development of BM to bash this album TODAY and criticize the fact it's not " original " or not " innovative “ or " new ". In fact, what does novelty and innovation have to do with Black Metal? This release was a highly pivotal one in the evolution of the Swedish Black Metal scene, for those who care to know or who remember the day this album came out. Another point : those seeking change, innovation or something new should simply stay clear of the whole Black Metal scene, as it is a genre with a strict and unchangeable definition which is meant for the few who understand its obscure beauty. " A black heart will only find beauty in darkness ", as Nödtveidt would have said.


To the music: the lyrics are your typical ones, with words such as "Satan", "shadows" etc returning over and over again. But what would you expect from a BM release??? The sound of the guitars is more or less that of all bands who recorded their albums in The Abyss at that time, yet has a special ring to it. The chords almost sound like an organ being played! Of course, this was long before The Abyss started creating a sound as incredibly artificial as it does today. Themgoroth's voice is perfect, very aggressive and dark, so don’t expect hysterical pseudo-BM vocals. The riffs are mostly fast but melodic, and extremely catchy. The drummer does a very good job, any drummer who has ever tried to play one of the songs would know this. The way the guy changes pace or increases it is awesome! I do not see the point of song nr 10, Satanic Blood, written and originally performed by Von, which really spoils the atmosphere for me.. Except for that, judging only by the band's own compositions, I can only applaud DARK FUNERAL's performance!

To put a fullstop to this review, here's a message to all retards: some of us have been around long enough to know why this album is so great! I doubt there’s anyone involved in the scene for a really long time who does not own and prize this CD. However, if your first experience of Black Metal dates from last Tuesday and you have no special understanding of what real BM is, or worse, think that it's all "just music", refrain from expressing your opinion on “The Secrets of the Black Arts”! You are unworthy of it!!!

Whether you hate em or love em. Dark Funeral is one of the biggest black metal bands in the world. Known for their very straightforward and blast-beat dominant approach. This band hadn’t really done anything out of the ordinary since their birth in 1993. In terms of what I usually gravitate towards when I want to jam black metal, this band is one that I’ve never truly dived into that much. I will say they definitely get over-hated a LOT. However, I have always loved their debut album “The Secret of the Black Arts”. A 90s black metal classic.

Right away this album does not bullshit around. As soon as the title track kicks in it’s guns blazing with intensity. It’s got everything a classic black metal album needs. Evil atmosphere, amazing tremolo riffs, and of course lots of blast beats. If you’re into this band you know how fast and blasty this band can get. I think it works out in their favor, especially on this record. Because everything on this album while it's extremely evil. The aggressive and catchy nature of this album is prominent the whole way through. Making this record a very straightforward yet memorable release.

As I stated before this album is hella fucking fast. And what propels a lot of the momentum and speed is the drums. Goddamn are the blast beats on this album fucking relentless. The same can be said for the pummeling double bass work. Which just pounds and crumbles you under its heavy pressure and intensity. Equimanthorn is a very versatile and effective drummer when it comes to just honing in rhythm and speed. And this album isn’t just 100% blast beats as well. There’s a lot of thrashy drum beats and blistering fills to go along with the blasting. The drums can be very mid-paced, fast, and slow at times. The blast beats can also be slowed down to a degree at times. Making for a very satisfying and strong drum performance.

Black metal has always prided itself on having very high-pitched and haunting vocals. On this record, you have just that. Very aggressive shrieking, snarling, and growling. The vocals really don’t deviate much from this aggressive style of screaming. But it doesn’t matter because the vocals are always aggressive and relentlessly in your face. The occasional layering and reverb on the vocals are also a cool touch. Themgoroth’s vocals are evil, and atmospheric, and flow very well with the rhythms/music.

His bass work is also quite good. For a black metal record, the bass sounds very meaty and primitive. This thick fuzzy tone pairs well with the already fantastic guitar work/tone. Creating a very 90s and evil atmosphere that’s prominent across this entire album. The songwriting is fantastic here as well. Each song delivers pure aggression and energy. And it’s got the great hooks and riffs to back it up.

The production here is amazing. It’s raw, stripped down, yet meaty and powerful. The guitar tone has this very suffocating and misty-like texture to it. That hones in this foggy-like atmosphere I get from this album. As I stated earlier the bass sounds gnarly and is heard across the board. Vocally it’s right in the middle and always in your ears up close and personal. The drums are very powerful and devastating as well. The kick drums especially sound very visceral. Especially when the double bass reaches its top speeds. Overall this album has a perfect black metal production quality.

Now we can finally talk about the wonderful guitar work. Man oh man does this album deliver fantastic and hooky riffs. The tremolos on this album exude a very melancholy and evil energy. That is heard right from the start with the title track. This album also plays around with slower riffs and melodies from time to time. It’s very on the lines of Marduk in terms of how fast and precise sections are. The mid-paced rhythms and tremolos are also very accelerating and hooky. Allowing for some movement and great head-banging beats. The album riffs are chaotic, right, groovy, and very memorable overall.

In conclusion, does this band deserve a lot of the hate they get? No. They don’t. This album proves how great they are at creating intense and memorable black metal. With little to no breathing room. If you want balls-to-the-wall aggression and fast blast beats with your black metal. Something that’s always gonna deliver straightforward yet energetic intensity. This band and album are for you. I would also say this band wouldn’t be a bad place to start if you want to dive even deeper into the genre. So give it a shot. A classic black metal release overall.
