Arum (Brazil)

Arum (Brazil): Occult Cataclysm- The New Era Rises (Negativity Records)
Don’t let the bullet belts, spikes, corpse paint, and angry-funny faces fool you:
Arum is a talented bunch, despite their image to the contrary.

Hold on, there, …
Is that an acoustic guitar I hear on “The Age of Shadows”?!

Ah, yeah, that’s an acoustic guitar!
The jig is up!
Arum actually has real talent, they can play those guitars all day and all night until the bats wake up and come out to play.
“Lord of Ancient Forest”…yeah, it’s grim, sure…but check out those ridiculously good guitar melodies.
You know what? That’s all you need to know, really. Arum’s music is raw and appropriately ugly…once you get past the ugly part, you will find some beautiful melodies.
Remember: don’t let the ugly fool you, beauty is under the ugly. This is an oldie, but still sounds good. www.myspace.com/arumblackmetal
