5th album by Doom's Day named Church For The Damned and boy do I love it so far. If you haven't heard them
before its like a mix of doom/sludge/thrash and some old Black Sabbath influences. By
now Doom's Day has made a name for themselves and don't really needs and
introduction.
Doom's Day have built their own name and unique sound throughout the years I was so lucky to get a promo many years ago.
What I think its worth mentioning that few bands make it past 3 albums, or maybe so but without sounding shit because of lost appetite .
This is still a hungry band yearning for perfection without overdoing it.
I still don't roll the dice but if I did it would be an eight.
Prepare for a journey, a great journey!
All right here we go with FLUKT a Norwegian is well know to Skullfuker with interview and review earlier. I enjoyed their previous material which lead to interview.
This is their debut album ‘Darkness Devour’ it’s straight forward black metal in the traditional way.
‘Darkness Devour’ really starts to kick off with a great turn and enjoyable experi ence. Already at first track they set the standard of ‘Darkness Devour’ which
is a great experience for me to get a better overview of the beauty of
the music when it reveal itself and it’s dark, aggressive with good
melodies that keep you going on and take a part of the journey of
furious and melodic journey. It’s not for the faint hearted.
FLUKT kept their style and stay true to their own music. A solid debut
album overall and an excellent experience. FLUKT has really improved the
way they perform their art. The tracks are overall more
interesting,memorable and solid than before. It’s an album I will
play a lot in the future as there are some very promising stuff here
that I can’t really describe, just enjoy it all and Darkness Devour’
will reveal everything eventually.
If you enjoy their previous
material you will probably be positively pleased with ‘Darkness Devour’
as their live up to their own spirit of true Norwegian black metal. Raw,
fast and melodic as only FLUKT delivers.
Unpolished relentless
in your face black metal is what you get. I also like the way they slow
down and leave room for the listeners to breathe with their atmospheric
sound and parts of the album. They have really been working on good
melodies and not just drive full speed ahead...
Absolutely worth checking out if you’re into the genre!
Underground Death Metal legends ACHERON are back with a vengeance in the form ofKult des Hasses. The band's newest long-player, and first since inking a deal in blood with Listenable Records, is by far their most relentless and devastating.
New Noise Magazine's Eric May called the disc "absolutely essential," while Alice Roques of RockRevolt Magazine states "the album as a whole is a blood drenched sonic landscape full of decadent morsels of musical flesh." Decibel Magazine is getting in on the action as well with their exclusive album preview/video interview featuring ACHERON founder Vincent Crowley. Check it out at this location.
Kult des Hasses is available on CD and vinyl formats at the link below:
On Kult des Hasses, ACHERON founder Vincent Crowley has been joined on this album by longtime drummer Kyle Severn and guitarist Art Taylor. Also appearing on the record as a guest lead guitarist is Ricktor Ravensbruck from the bands WOLFPACK 44, ELECTRIC HELLFIRE CLUB and WOLFEN SOCIETY. Kult des Hasses was recorded in Cleveland, Ohio at Bad Back Studios and mixed and mastered by Dan Swano of Unisound.
Guest vocalists on Kult des Hasses include Kam Lee (Ex-MASSACRE, THE GROTESQUERY and BONE GNAWER), Jim Lippucci (SOULLESS), John McEntee (INCANTATION/FUNERUS), Jill McEntee (FUNERUS), Ash Thomas (ESTUARY/FAITHXTRACTOR) and Zdenka Prado (ESTUARY).
"Numerous songs are charged and possessed by twisted, vile riffs, chaotic yet sometimes melodic solos and that underlying atmosphere which, when seperated completely from the burgeoning instrumentation, could well be mistaken for the background noise of a Satanic ritual." [4/5] - SputnikMusic.com
"Whether Kult des Hasses is the band's strongest effort to date we will leave for others to decide, but for death metal with the bravery and skill to be so much more, this is one magnificent offering." [9/10] - RingMasterReviews
