Review:
Now when i put this in, I really wasn't sure what i was getting in to, The only track i had heard before this Ep was their Hellhammer cover off of their myspace page. But safe to say, this is really good! It's not "grim and frostbitten" and it's most certainly not "depressive" or "suicidal". This here is really good old school intense black metal. The Ep has not been released yet and i strongly suggest any labels check the band out ASAP. This is a badass release! Everything on it fucking rocks, I could only find a few minor problems and that was through some hardcore Nitpicking. Like for one, they aren't terribly original. There certainly are a few other bands that sound a lot like them, but I can't hold this against the band, it's damn close to impossible to sound original AND good these days. The other problem is that the vocals are a little bit on the weak side, they're certainly not bad at all, but the vocalist could use a little bit more practice. The guitars are fast, unrelenting and soul-ripping! They conjure up images of Satan rising from the ground and ass raping angels, and that is one fucking sight to behold! The drums are over all really good, you can really tell the Venom and Hellhammer influences on the drummer, and any real metalhead knows that is quite a fucking compliment there! The vocals are like I said, a little on the weak side, but i see some really good potential here and well to be honest their actually pretty good. It's certainly something that I couldn't pull off vocally!
Overall this is a really good band that is just getting out there and could possibly be groundbreaking with the proper label support and a little bit more practice! Keep an eye out on these guys and look for their Ep!
Give It A Spin!
Final Rating:
3.5/5
