MORDANT RHED - Eat Pussy For Satan (CD - Jewel Case)
United States | Black
Detailed Description
Mordant Rhed’s debut album, Eat Pussy for Satan, is a gloriously unhinged plunge into the raw, rebellious heart of Texas black metal. This full-length release from the Lone Star State provocateurs blends the feral intensity of traditional black metal with the reckless, tongue-in-cheek swagger of punk rock, delivering a sonic assault that’s as offensive as it is infectious. Frontman Rhevok, known for his candid YouTube musings on records, horror flicks, and band antics, leads Mordant Rhed with a devilish grin, ensuring this album is both a middle finger to convention and a love letter to the genre’s roots.
From the moment the first track snarls to life, Eat Pussy for Satan revels in its own absurdity and aggression. The album’s song titles—“Spread the Convent with AIDS,” “I Killed 3 People with a Crowbar,” and “Analingus Satanicus”—are a gleeful nod to the kind of over-the-top shock value that would make even the most seasoned metalhead chuckle. Yet, beneath the provocative veneer lies a surprisingly tight and energetic record. The guitar riffs, dripping with early Bathory-esque grit, drive the album with a primal ferocity, while the production strikes a balance between polished clarity and raw attitude. It’s black metal with a punk soul—unpretentious, direct, and brimming with chaotic energy.
Mordant Rhed’s commitment to their outrageous aesthetic is matched by their ability to craft memorable, headbang-worthy tracks. The album’s 27-minute runtime is a masterstroke, delivering its blasphemous payload without overstaying its welcome. Standout moments like the blistering riffs in “I Killed 3 People with a Crowbar” showcase the band’s knack for blending humor with heaviness, though the drumming occasionally falters, with some later tracks losing sync and momentum. Despite this, the album never feels like it’s trying to be more than it is—a raucous, unapologetic celebration of black metal’s darker, sillier side.
Eat Pussy for Satan is a wild ride that doesn’t pretend to reinvent the genre but succeeds in carving out its own niche. Mordant Rhed has crafted an album that’s as fun as it is ferocious, proving that black metal can still surprise and entertain. For fans of raw, unfiltered metal with a wicked sense of humor, this debut is a devilishly good time.
