Heretic
Black Metal Holocaust
[Berzerker]
This CD is limited to 500 copies and the first 200 come with maggots
inside (I wish my copy would’ve been one
of those!)!!! They're supposed to be hand numbered but mine isn’t. From what I
hear they (berzerker) just stopped
numbering them for some reason. As for the packaging, its very old school.
Inside are pictures of band members
fucking around and doing various poses. The cover could’ve been a little
better though, the drawing is kind of
cheap. This is on an NS label although nothing inside nor in the lyrics
indicates the band to be. There's no lyrics
inside but you can pretty much understand everything he says. Now for the
important part, the music!
Like the packaging, this is old school black metal. The production is
perfect! Picture the sound quality of a
black sabbath album. Every instrument is heard clearly (next to Barathrum,
I've never heard the bass so much in a
BM album). Every song chugs along at the same pace pretty much, but the riffs
are fucking killer! Ill use the
description of the flyer for this CD in case you haven’t gotten it yet: “If
you like bands as BEHERIT,
NECROSCHIZMA, BESTIAL SUMMONING, BLASPHEMY, BARATHRUM, DARKTHRONE, VENOM, AND
HELLHAMMER you will worship this!” Lyrically this is as directly Satanic as
It gets. “Satan” is said throughout
this CD countless times. Blasphemies from “With anger and hate we kill
jesus!” to “I piss on the face of god.” Good
stuff. One of my favorite moments is on the last track where the music stops
and the vocalist starts screaming
“Satan! SSSSAAAAAAATTTTTTTAAAAANNN!!!!!” over and over. This CD is
essential. Hurry up and get your copy
soon because I doubt this will be repressed.
