The first (and only) black metal band I’ve heard from the Philippines so far. As I heard their “Enorht Eht…” demo about 4-5 years ago, and thought it was quite good (actually sounding somewhat like a hyper-speed version of GRAVALAND in their “Epilogue” era). But this, their second demo, differs a million times from the first one. In no way is this a good thing, as this demo is nothing but a bunch of obnoxious “noise” disguised/promoted as black metal!!! Ugh, there aren’t words that can describe how bad this shit is, and it's beyond my comprehension why anyone would go through the trouble of releasing this to the masses. Not to mention how much the style changed after their first demo was so promising!!! The demo sounds like it was recorded underwater, and basically all you can hear is “ssshhhhhh”, so noisy you can’t even tell what’s going on. I know most will ask “I thought you liked raw production?”, I do, but not like this!! At least make it so we can hear instruments instead of irritating hissing noise!!! Fuck, this is too horrible to continue. Possibly one of the 5 (for sure, one of the 10) worst releases of all time!!!!!
