A raw artifact from the heart of the Les Légions Noires movement, Vermyapre Kommando is a storm of primal expression forged by Wlad and Vorlok of Vlad Tepes. Originally released in 1996 and now unearthed by Drakkar Productions on high-quality CD format, this obscure demo remains a vital piece of French black metal history—an unapologetically chaotic testament to the uncompromising spirit of the Black Legions.
Unlike polished or carefully arranged black metal efforts, Vermyapre Kommando embraces disarray with purpose. The production is dense and murky, drenched in layers of distortion that lend the recording a haunted, almost spectral aura. Beneath the lo-fi veil, one can still feel the ferocity of intent: a whirlwind of frantic guitar attacks, cavernous drum blasts, and unrelenting atmosphere. This isn’t meant for casual listening—it’s a descent into black metal in its most feral, instinctual form.
Vocals snarl and wail from deep within the mix, soaked in hatred and defiance. Though the lyrics remain in French and deliberately obscured, their emotional weight comes through with undeniable force. This is not about accessibility—it’s about immersion into a realm where melody and clarity are sacrificed at the altar of pure feeling.
While some may dismiss releases like this for their unconventional structure or rough execution, for others, that’s precisely the draw. Vermyapre Kommando captures a fleeting moment in time—an urgent purge of energy and ideology that reflects the very essence of the LLN mythos. It’s abrasive, it’s ugly, and it’s absolutely authentic.
For fans of Vlad Tepes, Belkètre, and the rawest corners of the underground, this reissue is more than a curiosity—it’s a key to a forgotten crypt, echoing with the cursed hymns of a cult era.
