2004 pressing with Entering Erebus 1999 demo as bonus

Kult Ov Azazel play an extremely raw, high speed, cutting form of primitive black metal, and they excel primarily in two areas on this demo recording: the vitriolic, acid-drenched vocals, launched forth flying to scar your ears, and the rhythm work on these songs, which really stands out among their amateurish peers. As for the vocals, they are bestial, rabid, exciting, animalistic, and gut-wrenchingly honest. Kult Ov Azazel are willing adherents to the reserve of the primal scream, that most basic, primitive, ancient instinct. No one would ever mistake these vocals for the produced, practiced, boring rote breathings of the fancy-filled black metal establishment. Instead, I believe the vocal style on display here is exactly what black metal has always called for and which it needs a new injection of every now and then: they are lacerating, involving, cataclysmic, and brutally honest; they fill the listening space with a tortured soul’s sound and fury, with ill-bled, blenching, distorted pain. The last time I heard this style of total vocals wipeouts from a black metal band was on the Thornspawn demo tapes. Excellent. So if you are sick of all over-produced black metal bands clogging up the arteries of the scene these days, and if you feel like you need a break of fresh air, a purifying, burning wind to excoriate those listening canals and clean them of detritus, contact this growing group of possessed musicians and support their dark crusade. We need more bands like this.
