Pure chaos and unrelenting fury pour out of this slab of raw bestial speed metal. Drawing deep from the well of old-school influences like Bathory, Witchcraft (Fin), and Sodom, this Houston-based duo delivers a sound that’s gloriously clunky, unapologetically ugly, and everything black metal should be. The grit and grime are palpable, from the morbidly catchy riffs to the relentless percussion that feels like it’s clawing its way out of the underworld.
The LP is split into two sides of pure carnage, with side A culminating in “Imperator’s Sceptre” — a standout track that feels like it’s tearing your soul apart, one guttural note at a time. Side B doesn’t let up either, despite being recorded in rehearsal. It’s a testament to their raw energy that even these rougher takes hit with the same visceral power as the polished material. Every scream, every distorted riff, every thunderous beat feels drenched in blood and ritualistic triumph.
This isn’t music for the faint of heart — it’s a sonic assault, primal and carnal, like a warrior drenched in the spoils of battle, eyes alight with savage glee. The recording may lack pristine clarity, but that only adds to its primal charm. It’s tight, ferocious, and dripping with malevolent energy — a must for anyone who craves black metal at its most untamed and unholy.
