from MusicExtreme (Argentina)
Vasilisck delivers here two storms of pure black metal with some industrial elements that add originality to the band´s sound. Here we have fast and dark tunes with hyper fast programmed drumming that gives sort of a machine like feeling to the music but without changing the extreme aggression that black metal must have. Raw sound is essential here to add this sort of old school norwegian black metal feeling, but at the same time the band has a more direct and loud sound than those early black metal albums had. The compositions are long and the keyboards have an essential role in many parts contrasting heavily with the extremely raw guitars. the vocals are of the extreme black metal type with some trollish quality. To surprise more the listener there is a third track on this recording that is pure ambient and experimentation with keyboards and sounds. A dark and experimental release.

The music is mainly based on synthesizers, which creates lugubrious and tenebrous atmospheres, accompanied by dark, blurry guitars, mostly high tuned, that makes the sound very strident and complete the necessary elements to sound "Black Metal", there're also some clean guitar passages adding anguished, depressive touches to the whole music. The programmed beats recreate a standard Black Metal drumming, but maintaining intact the Techno/Electronic... Read entire review » |
