Description

Colombia. That South American provider of coffee and druglords since the dawn of time has now managed to spawn a black/death metal band, and raise it to adulthood. We are of course speaking of Atanab. The band was formed in 1993 and 2010 saw the release of their third album, Black Magic, which is a relentless slab of raw black/death/thrash metal. You know, the South American extreme metal way. The atmosphere is kept dark and menacing throughout the record by way of tremolo riffage in minor keys, furious drumming and high-pitched shrieking. The tempo is high and the primal, unpolished edge to the riffs gives off a distinct 90’s feel. The production is quite messy and the drums are too prominent in the mix, with most riffs drowning in a sea of cymbals and snare. All in all, Atanab have churned out a disc’s worth of raw and unpolished old sounding extreme metal.
