SATHANAS - Necrohymns review



SATHANAS - Necrohymns  

Transcending Obscurity Records





I have many reasons on why I love doing SFM666. Most of those reasons wouldn't appeal to other people in the mainstream music media. Listening to this, the tenth full length release by Pennsylvania's SATHANAS, is a damm good reason. You see doing this blog is enjoyable in many fuckin ways but one important reason is that it's an education.


Case in point here we have a US band that have been creating extreme music since 1988. This is my first time hearing em and I'm fuckin floored. To all of you people out there into the new stream of blackened thrash, forget your faves and listen to THIS. SATHANAS are a three piece act who, at least on this one, twist BATHORY and VENOM into a blackened thrash and death mixture of blood, vomit and great music.


What is not to love hear? You've got the say you love Satan lyrics, the harsh flamed vocals, that bees nest guitar sound plus cutthroat solos. The eight songs on here have that NWOBHM dynamic meets pure fuckin evil. Something else of note, this is not generic sounding modern day blackened thrash. This band has a sound that's not tainted by trends. These guys are veterans who've honed their sound over many years. And that's why it's damm good.
