Liste des groupes Black Metal Lucifugum (UKR) Sociopath: Philosophy Cynicism

This is the eighth album from this Ukrainian black metal duo. They are from Mykolaiv, Ukraine, which is in the south central of that country and about 35 miles north of the Black Sea. All of the lyrics on this album were written in Ukrainian(I don't speak Ukrainian) and all of the tracks were entitled with only numbers. Nevertheless this is a very good black metal album and at least they did offer a good video.

Track 1 starts off with some Eastern European speech from a female. Then you hear the squeals from a pig, before it takes off rocking with some fine guitar and bass thrashing. It has a very interesting texture. It's melodic and heavy. The drum playing sounds excellent.

Track 2 rocks with fluttering guitars to the swaying notes of the heavy bass playing. The guitars play with a melodic tremolo picking in a style that provides an antiphonal quality.

Track 3 starts with a dark heavy bass intro with demon growls. It continues with punk hooks. Then it converts into a bad ass guitar section with a hateful mood. There are lots of punk style hooks, with a mix of dark shredding.

Track 4 has screeching guitar hooks, with screeching black metal screaming. It's very dark, yet very melodic. The guitar picking hits the higher notes. The vocal rhythms bounce up and down like that of Mortuus from Marduk. The vocals are very grim.

Track 5 has a very wicked rhythm that slithers up and down with creepy vocals. Soon, it gets into some brutal thrashing accompanied by some brutal vocals. The guitars soon create a creepier soundscape, with it's atmospheric grinding.

Track 6 has creepy guitar leads with a morbid attitude and dark sound effects. Then it suddenly thrashes at full speed with twisted black metal thrashing. The vocals get intense and so does the guitar playing.

Track 7 There are 2 male voices speaking Ukrainian, then a female voice starts speaking, while some dark metal plays. Then suddenly, the female voice starts to cry in fear, while a male continues to speak. A hypnotic black metal starts to play, while a demonic male voice screams and so does the female voice. It continues on with some decent black metal.

Track 8 starts off sounding like a black metal version of the Iron Maiden style. It sounds very heavy and actually sounds like the darker songs of Marduk. The guitars provide some crafty guitar melodies, it ends with an impressive grand finale.

This is a wicked black metal album, I can't understand what they're saying. But other than that, I think that this is a killer album from a killer black metal band.
