Black
Blizzard (Germany)
Black
Blizzard (The Art of Evil/Satanica Productions)
This
band is from germany and have a very unique and a bit odd dark atmospheric
blend of sound between doom, death and black metal. Black Blizzard is also a
quite old band in the game and have kept on going since 2004, but as musician
in over 20 years. Too sad is that the band is too underestimated and have not
got the respectful respond & positive feeback that I think they would get
and deserve. This is not a full length, but one hell of a good (and long) ep
release from the band that was released in february this year. First track out
is "The Art of Evil" (title song) and is absolutely a real killer
track that make me think of the early Amorphis, Behemoth and Darkthrone in one,
this one I can hear over and over again "damn excellent". Second up
"Edge of Death" that is a bit slower, but still got this perfect dark
feeling sound in it. Third track "Grave of Slave" starts up good, but
does not really have the same energy & sound in it, but is good but a
weaker track. Fourth one "Master" delivering some great blackened art
in the same position as the first one, this is brilliant! Fifth track of this
ep made me think of later Celtic Frost & Triptykon, damn this is great with
such a nice sound from the start to the end. Last track "Erased" is
just an outro song, but a melodical and dark harmonical one that got the
feelings from later Bathory (a bit pagan/folky over it). Over all I can just
say about this band that have so far done over nine full lengths and also some
ep´s & demos is that if you not have heard or knows anything about this band?
You just have to check them out...hmm or him as it is a one man band, Black
Blizzard is something to count for. ;)
