Satans Blood
Christians To Ashes, Angels To Dust
[Sound Riot]


This German band plays good Black Metal in the vein of the first two DARK FUNERAL releases ("Dark Funeral" & "Secrets..."), which makes an interesting band of it. If you like the albums mentioned above, you can buy this CD there will be no disppointment. The drum parts are almost the same, maybe a bit faster, than DF's ones, guitar parts immediately sound like Swedish riffs (you all know it's really easy to make the difference between a Norwegian riff and a Swediosh riff !) and the vocalist is praising Satan during the 30' that lasts the album...Everything reminds of the early Swedish scene, when it was not polluted by thousands of stupid bands, and when it really had a soul.

There are 8 tracks on this album, as I almready mentioned it's 30' ,long, which is in my sense the perfect length for this kiind of BM (too much could lead you to an overdose that would disable you to listen to this kind of music for at least one year !) The only thing I do not like is the horrible booklet, guys you should have chosen other colours and other ideas for your layout ! Well, this is not primordial so make something really great on your second CD, your music deserves it !
