:: ::
:: Black metal has gone through a lot of changes, starting ::
:: with the sloppy and murky primitive thrash metal of the ::
:: likes of Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and Venom and being ::
:: radically changed in the Norwegian revolution of the genre ::
:: in the 1990s which introduced many of the elements that ::
:: characterize the genre today. The pre-Norwegian black metal ::
:: and the post-Norwegian black metal sound very different. ::
:: ::
:: With "Mysteriorum Prophanationis Sepulcralis" the Spanish ::
:: black metal act Muert show us that the two incarnations of ::
:: black metal can easily be combined into some quite ::
:: compelling music as they combine the chaotic feel of ::
:: blastbeats and tremolo-picking with thumping and heavy ::
:: riffage. The brilliantly titled 'Holocaust In The Christian ::
:: Tombs' starts out with some galloping riffage and adopts a ::
:: thumping rhythm before all hell breaks loose in the form of ::
:: black metal blasts a strangely melodic tremolo-picked ::
:: figure. 'Hordes in Battle' is like an inverted structural ::
:: version, starting out with an onslaught of ferocious ::
:: blastbeats and concluding with some quite heavy beats, ::
:: while 'In the Graveyard My Perdition' starts out heavy and ::
:: then changes into an almost punky affair. Thus Muert change ::
:: back and forth between different, quite simple and often ::
:: primitive, genre elements from post-90s and pre-90s black ::
:: metal throughout their album, and this dynamic works ::
:: excellently, I must say - just check tracks like 'The ::
:: Hateful Ritual' and 'Storm in the Cathedral of God'. ::
:: ::
:: Despite the many changes and elements, the music on this ::
:: album does not come across as being chaotic, and there is ::
:: even a lot of melody inherent in many of the blastbeat- ::
:: and-tremolo sections. The tracks on the album seem organic ::
:: - primarily because of the lo-fi production and the ::
:: dynamics of the drumming (which features a lot of nicely ::
:: placed cymbal accents) - but at the same time the album is ::
:: very focused and has a dark atmosphere to it. The vocals ::
:: are harsh and angry and have a brutal crunch to them ::
:: courtesy of a guitar distortion pedal or some similar ::
:: effect. ::
:: ::
:: "Mysteriorum Prophanationis Sepulcralis" captures the ::
:: essence of black metal and teems with both the darkness and ::
:: rawness that characterizes the genre. It is organic and ::
:: focused at the same time, and fans of the likes of ::
:: Darkthrone should find it appealing. ::
