Maniac Butcher
Cerna Krev
[Pussygod]


Barbaraud has once again returned with his worthy troupe of violent black metal cavemen in search of more second wave blood. This Czech band has won its way into many a black metal fan for their true exclusion and isolation of any ‘trends’ and undiluted barbarity.

Once again, Maniac Butcher present us with another effort of solid, unwavering brutal black violence. Each song rounds itself out nicely and inevitably ends up sounding like any other random song on the album, but hey, what does that matter when a band plays with this much primitivity and passion? Filled with Barbaraud’s insane, harsh barks, relentless, headache inducing double bass and some catchy rhythms littered here and there, virtually no speed bumps are encountered on their triumphant journey towards carving the most uncompromising musical products ever churned out.

Not much different from their previous efforts then, but it must be said that if you are searching for black metal that lacks in any subtlety imaginable, that openly desecrates any weak idea that the likes of Thy Serpent and Cradle Of Filth have implanted in your head , then Maniac Butcher will be the answer to your wet dreams. A black metal orgasm, anyone?
