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."
