Vlad Tepes
War Funeral March
[Full Moon]


"This is CELTIC and BARBARIAN BLACK METAL ruled by the voices of the BLACK LEGIONS SPIRITS". Vlad Tepes plays raw & sick black metal in it's purest form!!! I like this release just as much as I do Darkthrone's "Transilvanian Hunger" or Graveland's "In the Glare of Burning Churches" or Maniac Butcher's last great onslaught "Epitaph" since "War Funeral March" has the same black hateful feel to it (i.e.: Buzz-saw guitars, sickening black-vomit vocals, raw production, etc). The production is minimal (but not as harsh as their "Black Legions Metal" split with Torgeist, or their "March to the Black Holocaust" split with Belketre), which had a very thick and fuzzy production on it. The 2 spilt CD's are HARD AS FUCK to get your hands on today!!!! The riffs here are in the Hellhammer/Celtic Frost vein (most elite!). Anyway, this is an excellent EP, so if you love true sick/raw/cult black metal like: Profanatica, Judas Iscariot, Ungod, Countess, Veles, Frozen Shadows, Ildjarn, etc. You will Appreciate "War Funeral March".
