Perunwit/Legion
Split
[Dead Christ Commune]
An interesting split here. We have one beyond
horrible Norsecore band (LEGION) and some really good
folk/ambient (PERUNWIT).
The first band is LEGION, which is rumored to have
GRAVELAND members (I really hope it's not true!!). To
sum up why I can't stand this crap: I can inagine the
members of this band one night getting drunk and
deciding to jam EMPEROR covers. Their dog walks into
the rehearsal room and starts to howl like there's
sirens outside. The members, being as drunk as they
are, accidentally recorded the session and decided it
was worthy of being released!! As mentioned, the
music is note-for-note ripped off from old EMPEROR and
the vocalist sounds like a dog howling. There simply
isn't a word to describe how fucking awful this shit
is!!!! In fact, it's so bad I can't even laugh at it
since I'm convinced it's a joke!!!
Now, on to PERUNWIT. It's unfair to judge them after
the pathetic joke before them. These tracks later
ended up on the split w/KRAINA BEZ WIATRU, but these
do sound slightly different to my ears. The
production is much more raw and without question it's
mixed differently!! See my review of the split
w/KRAINA BEZ WIATRU for their description, since I
don't feel like typing it up again.
I'm really not sure if I'd recommend this to anybody,
since LEGION is almost too shitty to be real and
there's other PERUNWIT releases to check out if you've
never heard them...
