What the hell is this album? Is this what people would deem true black metal? True black metal has AT LEAST bleah sound quality, but that’s what makes them awesome to listen to. This album, on the other hand, has such bad sound quality it sounds nothing like dark and evil metal, but more like a bunch of dumb shits hitting and smashing themselves with trash cans. And you know whats worse? The intro has the best sound quality of all the songs on this record. You heard me. THE FUCKING INTRO HAS BETTER SOUND QUALITY THAN EVERY TRACK ON THIS GODDAMN RECORDING.
Now for the instruments. Everything is blurry as hell and you can hardly hear a note played by the guitar, a boom from the drum, and you can’t tell a damn thing apart. The vocals are rather good, but are lacking; it’s just a bunch of screams and there’s no variety. No growls, no rasps, no nothing. Just banshee screaming up the ass. I know screaming is a typical vocal style in black metal, but come on, at least have a bit of variety rather then use the same damn thing. There are a few narrated vocals on this album (or so it sounds like) but I can’t even tell if they are narrated because the sound of this album sounds as if it was mastered by a blind 2 year old who recorded it using a pile of feces.
Case in point: Do NOT get this album. It is not trve, nor is it kvlt. All this album is is 12 tracks of pure ear rape. Do not get this album if you’ve been a black metaller since the first wave, and do not get this album if you have just discovered the genre. This album is a disgrace to the most darkest genre of metal.
