Grand Belial's Key
Mocking The Philanthropist
[Wood Nymph]
From Pennsylvania, USA, here are the masters of skilled US Death/Thrash/Black metal ! "Mocking..." is the first CD
of this horde made of very good musicians : The Black Lourde of Crucifixion (Drums/Vox), Lilith (Keys), Gelal
Necrosodomy (guitars) and Der Sturmer (Bass) all know how to play with their instruments, so do not expect with
GBK the typical "non-professionnal" Black Metal you are used to listening to. Their music has more common points with
BM than with any other style from the Undergorund Metal scene, and this is particularily due to the great lyrics,
very interesting and INTELLIGENT, they reach a unique level for a BM band (all texts are parodies of those of
the bible), they are not stupidities like those of the bands screaming "war" or "satan" in every two sentences !
In addition to this, the music is unique in the style, I never heard a band sound like this one, with influences
from Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal or some of the most underground Black/Death Metal ever ! This is a perfect mix
between all styles, hard to define so you have to check this album out to make yourself your opinion about it ! Anyway,
it's highly recommended, especially if you're into underground Black Metal, because the lyrics are just pure Blasphemy
and this album appears as a monument of the struggle against the judeo-christian scum... HAIL GBK !!!!!!
