Black Hateful Metal
[No Colours]
"We all know" that the ideology behind NSBM is dubious, to say the least,
and cannot really stand up to any kind of semi-intellectual scrutiny. But
with a release like this, WHO THE FUKK KARES?
Pure fucking hatred, true misanthropy, and plain disgust for khristianity
is what this release is full of. The lyrics...well, the Polish never can
write very well in English, but the most common words seem to be blood,
land, and moon. So, whatever they meant with their lyrics, i sure as hell
can relate to those things.
The sound quality is poor, to put it mildly, especially the guitars which
sound as thin as string. The riffs are pretty typical (not a bad thing!).
On the other hand, the compositions are not. There is clearly some striking
use of synths and even piano. Plenty of cuts have been made in the metal
to blend in some, even surreal, melodies. The whole of the album is not
straightforward black metal at all, even if most of the music is.
The vocals! are screaming echoes. Which i think really ROCK.
The demo "Triumph of the Pagan Beliefs" has also been included on the
CD. It is pretty much different and more straightforward metal, without
the ingenious blends. Nevertheless, i truly love it, too. Among the most
true black metal. Both.
"This album is NOT dedicated to Dead nor Euronymous."
