THE BLACK DISORDER - The Acceptance of Humiliation

Iron, Blood and Death Corporation

I love when a band from a certain country doesn't follow the cliche style of what you're use to. Case in point here we have the debut full length this Polish black metal act. Prior to this they put out a three cut EP, Monuments of Spiritual Atrocities, which came out in 2019.

First non cliche point is that this band is a three piece aka: two guitarists with one singing plus a bassist who also handles the drum work. Then again it might be programmed drums. Hey come on, Poland has amazing metal drummers. Plus the drum work on here sounds like Hellhammer of MAYHEM.

Second non cliche point is that THE BLACK DISORDER kinda have a major MAYHEM influence. The vocalist sounds like Attila Csihar a bit. I have no problem with that at all. And that's about all the non cliche points I can find. On other more familiar fronts this band likes their death metal. There's a punishing element on a few cuts which is pure Polish DM. 

Add to that the guitar lead work is wildly eclectic as well as at certain times melodic. All the songs here, seven real ones with a two plus minute intro, are a mixture of inviting horror to total fucking mayhem. All in all this is a damm good debut album. Hell they're from Poland, of course they're great.

MASK OF SATAN - Underneath the Mire review

 

MASK OF SATAN - Underneath the Mire

Iron, Blood and Death Corporation

If you're gonna name your band after the title of a great old Italian horror classic then you better live up to that name. After giving this one the once over I'll give it to em. This is the second full length by this Finnish death metal act. Albeit this is the first time I've heard em. This record label is also new to me. But after checking out their website I was very interested in their roster. 

Now of course since I'm an old fucker, a DM fan of old and a collector of early Finnish death metal I can clearly say these guys don't hold any semblance from their homeland fore-bearers at all. But hey what else is new. To be honest this band has a death n roll feel to em. They also add a bit of groove to their agenda. They also know how to rip your head off with speed. And oh yeah I kinda like it a lot.

We're talking about a band whose sound is covered in grim. You've got yer brutal styled vocals which come out in line with the music. Sound-wise the band come off rough and it sets them apart from most new DM whether it's OSDM or the more polished sect. Their riff selection is fairly diverse featuring beating people up type of groove and some trudging stuff which builds into more beating people up type stuff. 

In the end I'm kinda floored by how great as well as uncanny this band is when it comes to their style of DM. I mean it's nine cuts long and when you get to that last song "The Black Goat" your mind will be blown. If they're vying for the death metal throne of Finland then they've got my vote.
