FUNERAL MIST - Hekatomb
Norma Evangelium Diaboli
I was kinda wondering where MARDUK's creative balls went on their last album and here they are. When Daniel Rosten, under the name Mortuus, joined Marduk in 2004 he revived that band from their played out thrashy attack into a more diverse sounding black metal act. Of course their Panzer Division holdouts never got it. Then again they never got into the true and blasphemies sounds when that same man went by the name Arioch in FUNERAL MIST.
So it's been nine years since the last FUNERAL MIST release and this is not a reliving of past greats like the Devilry, Salvation or Maranatha. In fact this is what was expected of MARDUK. But here you go with an extreme attack. Far more aggressive with completely filth ridden riffs, solid tremolo picked guitar rage, bloody vocals and an explosive-ness in production which is why hiptards could never get into them.
Good black metal will always be under one's own interpretation. For me the best comes when it's not only threatening to the average laymen's perception but brings about a tense feeling. Sweden's FUNERAL MIST have always been a band that makes your average BM fan uncomfortable. On this latest one Arioch continues pummeling away at the listener with his tried and true approach while still adding a few twists along the way. Definitely one of my favorites this year.
