Description

French 2013 pressed music cassette. Clear cassette with black text. Limited 100 copies

Back in the early 90s, a group of grumpy Frenchmen formed a sort of circle of bands and projects that became quickly renowned for their abrasive, unstructured music and very underproduced sound, as well as for a true spirit of anger and misanthropy that few people could recognize but which became quintessential to real black metal at around this time. Vlad Tepes is, along with Mutiilation, undoubtedly the most well-known of this elitist circle. When the War Funeral March demo was originally released as a demo cassette by Full Moon Records, back in 1994, it was produced in a series of 1000 copies. But the label only managed to sell 280 copies during the first three years and the remaning stock was destroyed. Over the years it has grew in popularity and its been re-released on different formats since then. War Funeral March are among the most polished sounding of all the Black Legions outputs. In this particular case, that’s not saying much, but unlike some of the other recordings, this does sound like it was done with some decent equipment: everything is perfectly clear and defined, if a little muffled and grainy, there’s not much background hiss and the drums sound pretty well miked. Where this is really raw as hell is in the actual playing of the instruments, which seems kind of haphazard, purposefully so i’m sure. The vocals are the ugliest element in this mixture, as they seem recorded over the rest of the music sometimes at random, with dual attacks all over the place, multiple screams (so that at times it sounds like a trio of demons are screeching in ecstasy) and fluctuating volume. Obviously, not for those who value high musicianship and classy sound over all else…but those in the mood for something a little more vitriolic and real in the black metal genre might want to give this a try.
