HEGEROTH - Sacra Doctrina review


 

HEGEROTH - Sacra Doctrina

Self Released


So if you are a long time fan of black metal. And I'm talking about being a fan for at least twenty five years or more minimum. Then you know by now that the genre has come close to peaking as far as creating something new. I look at it now as you have your bestial and filthy stuff, the experimental pushers and finally the nostalgia seekers. So if you're feeling grim and frosty for something sounding like it came out in 1995. Then this release is part of the latter category. 


What we have here is the fourth full length by Polish black metal act HEGEROTH. Their influences are as obvious as the nose on your corpse painted face. Think Scandinavian black metal from the mid 1990's with a few subtle personal touches. I'm not about to name drop because if you're a BM fan at all then you probably have every release this band reminds me of. 


Now even with all of that HEGEROTH are damm good at what they do. Besides their traditional melodic black metal elements the guitar lead work on these songs is kinda disjointed. It obviously gives things some more originality. The riffs and drum work are definitely on the more brutal side. Toss in the the ferocious vocals and you've got a perfect black metal album.
