PEST (Fin): “Towards the Bestial Armageddon” 7″ Ep 1998 Fudgeworthy

RECENSORE: Unknown

VOTO: 5,00/10

DURATA:


Let’s talk frankly, when you get a seven inch from a Finnish band with a great cover artwork made by Moyen himself and with a title such as “Towards the Bestial Armageddon” you can’t but expect to hear a raw chaotic bestiality in the vein of BEHERIT. On this prospect I was completely fucked up because the band doesn’t even fairly remember the Gods of Finnish blasphemy. I don’t know why so many friends of mine were so thrilled by this band, apart from the packaging and the very crude recording, this band doesn’t move my attention for a single fucking second. They’re extremely basic and unmemorable, as they don’t even barely distinct from another thousands of late year death metal bands. The songs are structured over a regular thread made typically by a tedious, monotone riff that repeats over and over along the usual high pitched screams. I must admit I am deluded even though I can concede to them that they really sound like a band from the early nineties. Killer imagery but it’s not enough to build up a good product. 500 limited copies on gold vynil for those who care.
