Bands from America have a tendency of being extremely Satanic and blasphemous. There is just something to them that takes that aspect of their art a lot further than European bands. They focus on that one thing so strongly that all other aspects become irrelevant to them. European bands, on the other hand, add occultism, Odinism, and whatnot to their content. Perhaps it is by the very fact that majority of Americans are more openly kristian than the European majority.

This certainly is true with GBK. Any European band playing Unholy Black Metal pales in comparison to this band's anti-christian message, and in this regard GBK would most assuredly make them appear as a bunch of whining pussies.

GBK plays very simple but fresh and interesting Black Metal. Their music is basic, but has enough twists not to be bland. And they are primitive as hell, yet the music is well executed. Their songs rock, without being entertaining in a jewish fashion. And while listening to this, i hardly ever do anything else but stare at the cover picture of a bloody Krist carrying his cross, tormented by Roman soldiers...

Comparing this to their earlier demo, "Goat of a Thousand Young" is easy because this one has a new version of the demo's title song. This one was a slight disappointment at first. Bestial Luciferian, who sang on the first demo, used a more brutal voice. Had i not the first demo to compare this to, i would not think of Black Lourde of Crucifixion as a weak(er) singer.

There can never be enough of this kind of music.
