Svest / Katharsis / Warloghe / Black Witchery
Black Metal Ensieg
[Sombre]
A four way split 7” here, that I believe was originally going to be a Judas Iscariot/Moonblood/Warloghe/Black Witchery release.
Svest pull off some semi-interesting raw Black Metal, that manages to pull itself out of the sewer thanks to some decent riffs. I don’t know anything about this band, besides the fact that they showed up on the ‘Black Metal Blitzkrieg’ compilation.
After their excellent LP ‘666’, Katharsis show up with the blatant Darkthrone rip-off ‘Lacerating the Angels’. Quite honestly, this track could have popped up as a bonus track on the Peaceville ‘UaFM’ re-release, and nobody would have questioned it. Lame.
Warloghe’s ‘Visions of Carnage and Impurity’ sounds exactly like everything else they’ve done recently, although with a harsher rehearsal quality sound. Combining the melody of mid-period Darkthrone, with a bit more brutality – it’s a decent song though.
Black Witchery, on the other hand, blow the shite out of the three other bands. ‘Destruction of the holy kingdom which spawned the holy trinity of god’ (phew!) starts out with some vocal blasphemy VERY reminiscent of Havohej, before breaking off into a riff-heavy, ultra-grim, mid-paced Black Metal assault. Absolutely killer stuff.
