SOVEREIGN - Spirit Warfare: Demo MMXVII
Folkvangr Records
What fuckin furious hell has Folkvangr Records (which is turning out to be a very cool label) laid upon me now? Hmmm, it's USBM from Arizona and it's in the vein of many past American black metal greats. No not the hipster shit I'm talking about real USBM which was thrashy, brutal and did not give a fuck about ambiance or atmosphere. By the way this is actually a demo but this band had a previously self released full length titled Nailing Shut the Sacrosanct Orifice in 2014.
This demo contains just three cuts, the first "Hammer of Fevered Light" is just explosive blackened speed metal with blackened breakdowns, go figure? There might be vocals if you consider just harsh screams as vocals. Actually it should be their opening number on their West Coast tour. Whoops that's over now, "Hello Sacramento, we're happy to be here at the Starlite Lounge." That's OK since I saw INQUISITION play in a sports bar, part of the crowd were hipsters, another part of the crowd were house show cheapos, the other part were regulars wondering whatafuck was going on. Second cut "Diadem of Wound" is actually the best real song on here, the third is an instrumental. Hey give us all a full length, dammit!
