Heretical (Italy)
CD.
“Daemonarchrist” Daemon Est Devs Inversvs. Originally known as Immolator and after
3 demos changing their name to Heretical they have been lurking and
refining their darkcraft since 1993!!! This being the bands third full length once
again shows how the oldmixed with the new can be such a brutal and destructive combination.
This also is another perfect example of how symphonic black metal can be
creative yet devastating. You will hear hints of mid era Marduk in some of
the riffing how ever other then that the band has anapproach though not overly original
is all their own as they incorporate their own does of occult sounds and
ambiance that will bring to mind other Italian greats such as Evol (R.I.P.),
Mortuary Drape, Necromass, Opera IX
etc.... They even in corporate the old school gang thrash vocals, some nice lead guitar
work, as well as death metal influences!!! There is some violin and piano on a
couple of tracks to add to the over all atmosphere to. A band that has
resided for far to long in the deepest pits of the underground and
mostly unknown until now will leave it's mark with this epic modern black metal
master piece!!!
