RECENSORE: Unknown

VOTO: 9,50/10

DURATA:


There are several reasons that make

me state that CENTURIAN is the best of European bands to this

day. They just have the right feeling in everything they do. Their

music is utterly blasphemous, fast, fiercely demonic Brutal Death

Metal the like I haven’t heard for ages. They play as if they

want to wash away the modern trend of performing soft and clean

with fire and cruelty of unadulterated intensity. And they fucking

succeed in it. Yet you can’t really compare them to any other

Death Metal band, if not for a scene-level association. KRISIUN,

old DEICIDE, BELPHEGOR, all wrapped up tight in a projectile of

unreservedly violent Death Metal, make this band stand on par

with bands such as NILE, DIABOLIC, HATE ETERNAL or ANGEL CORPSE.

Just like KRISIUN, this band never seem to stop its escalation

towards the most perverse corners of the Death Metal universe,

just like KRISIUN, they do not care for melody to be pleasing

for a broader crowd. And for those who think Satanist lyrics are

chattels for Black Metal outfits only, I suggest to check out

CENTURIAN’s. CENTURIAN is ultimate, one of the best bands EVER

and I can’t stop to brag how completely pitiless they are. Hyperfast

drumming, cruel vocals (although both vocalist and bass player

have left the band for SEVERE TORTURE, and I can’t yet tell how

good the new singer is), great demoniac lyrics, and an artwork

painted with the blood from the guitar player’s perverse mind,

make up this CD a masterpiece, impossible to ignore. To me, a

classic already.
