Singapore’s forces of Evil strike back. After the very good "Absence Of The Sacred", Zushakon is another horde from this country claiming war to all easy listening people. Pop music fans should go out and ran away before this demo reach their ears.

We have here one intro and four tracks of very good and hateful black metal. No concession is made here. The tracks are coming straight to our face, destroying in the same time our brain and sweeping away all wise thoughts out of ourselves. By hearing the tracks, what remains of your thoughts is to join them in their fight against weak pussies hahaha.

We can easily hear that this band takes its influences from Scandinavian old school black metal scene. As an anecdote, this demo is dedicated to Dissection and its deceased leader. And the freezing wind of Scandinavia flies over their tracks.

Blast beats, hellish melodies and hateful vomited vocals reminded me of a old Dodheimsgard touch in the track called “Vortex Of Devoured Souls” and its beginning melodies made me think a bit of Impiety, also coming from Singapore.

As to say again, a very good effort is made on the melodic point of view, these tracks seem to have been written in the beginning of the 90s. Darkthrone spirit is present in the track “Eye of The Destroyer”, especially when the tempo became a bit wiser as to say mid tempo.

“Singawhore” continues the black mass here. The ghouls here still spit their venom. I really like this track, remind me a bit of the track “Total Death” from Isengard with all its devotion to the Beast. Anger feelings and satanic hate are still perceptible in their piece with the ending (but too short track) called “333”. Another back to good old black metal values with these “punkish” rythm ala Darkthrone. Catchy, really but as I told this track is really really too short.

To sum up, we have here a very good demo filled with hateful power, warpaints, old school spirit, the early 90s black metal fans should really appreciate what this asian band proposes to us here. We should mention that 2 of the members (Djinn and Armaros) are from Singapore and that the drummer is a session member : Radovan “Kunthammer” Draza comes from Serbia but nowadays, they took Absence Of The Sacred’s drummer : Serberuz Hammerfrost. Anyway, I hope we could see them on stage someday.
