Revolting (Sweden): Hyms of Ghastly Horror (FDA Recotz)
Gore horror movie death metal with lyrics and artwork
artwork to show. Revolting’s horror metal has plenty of moments of headbanging
good times. They also use melody and memorability in their songs, in addition
to the chaos. The style and sound is more Autopsy/Dismember, rather than Krisiun/Origin.
The old school feel to the music, regardless of the horror tomfoolery, makes it
very easy to enjoy.
Apparently, this is their
fourth album since 2009, putting out one every year! Well, well, what we have
got here?! An album a year, four years in a row: Revolting is way better than
the gore horror image they project. The songs are actually catchy. Surprise,
surprise, Revolting rocks!
Shadows in the Crypt (U.S.): Cryptic Communications (Horror Pain Gore Death Productions)
Traditional raw fugly nasty black metal, with
a pretty good sound quality (not garage sound!). However, by far, the most
important feature is the fact that the songs are distinctive, with effective
guitar solos, intense yet creative drumming played at blasting speeds, plus a
general strength for songs that take little time or effort to remember or to
get into.
This album is way better
than this review makes it seem. Listeners into serious black metal will need to
look into this. Get ready to have a smile by how good this is.
