This is the long awaited debut album by
Domini Inferi, one of those very few bands that actually blend the best of
Old School Black
Metal, Industrial and Ritualistic Soundscapes together.
Names like
Beherit,
Profanatica,
Hellhammer,
Brighter Death Now and
Abruptum pop into my mind but somehow it all seems to have develloped into an original and sickening style.
Everything is performed by only one member called Hellchrist
Xul who is also behind cult Black
Metal bands
Funeral Winds and
Haatstrijd.
Domini Inferi is almost like a soundtrack to a horror movie, creating somehow catchy Black
Metal tunes that suddenly change into disturbing noise or dark atmosheres.
The album starts off with the sounds of flies that almost seem to come out of your speakers, then the ultra slow track "
Devil Cult" starts in, with sickening screams of torture on heavy riffing and deep pounding drums.
The album also possesses some tracks that probably belong to the fastest and most extreme Black
Metal tracks ever, by the usage of a drumcomputer that seems to give
666 beats a minute and loads of distortion, screaming guitars and demonic yells over it, "Under His
Will" and "In the name of
Satan" are for sure competitive to the tracks on Immortals "Battles in the
North" album, it takes Black
Metal to new extremes!
A video clip is also provided on this CD-extra, with an exclusive industrial ritualistic track and one of the most blasphemic, perverse and bloody video's I've ever seen.
I recommend this album to all true
Devil Worshippers around the globe!
20/20
