Anwyl
Bloody Mary
[Non Compos Mentis]
Do you collect Mayhem rehearsal tapes? Then you'll like Anwyl. This 20-minute, five track MCD (performed by two metalheads and two skinheads) does a fine job of bringing old Mayhem to mind. Blasting drums, early Mayhem style riffing, and vocals that really aren't that far off from those of Suicide King Dead...
"Bloody Mary" is probably the finest rager on the disc because of the neck breaking speed, but the final track "Seasons of Suicide" is without a doubt the most interesting, as it does a nice job of producing obscure melodies that made Euronymous era Mayhem so damn depressing and cold...
Toss this lot in a studio and hope that they come up with an album full of tracks like 'Seasons of Suicide' and they'll have little trouble tossing aside the numerous lame and overhyped current American black metal bands...
