        `:There is no point beating around any bush with a black metal'
        `:band; that completely defies its purpose, which is straight:'
        `:to the point with a message carried on the back of raw     :'
        `:brutality. Germany's ENDSTILLE employ a unique brand of    :'
        `:Black Metal in their latest release, "Kapitulation 2013", in'
        `:which, I believe, they have musically recreated the sound of'

        `:Black Metal; muddy, but clearly represent each part of the :'
        `:band. This is not a typical, "Hail Satan" band; another    :'
        `:reason they are worth a listen, drifting away from what was:'

        `:The first track, "Aborted", holds no bars whatsoever, and  :'
        `:opens up with a cold and furious, yet majestic blast riff. I'
        `:am noticing some very prominent, old IMMORTAL vibes, with  :'
        `:ice cold riffs very reminiscent of the mighty Abbath. Like :'
        `:said band, "The Refined Nation" has some audible punk      :'
        `:influences and does not once relent; it even closes with a :'
        `:wailing guitar 'solo'. "Sick Heil" is a much thrashier     :'
        `:track, but overall is much less interesting and is extremely'
        `:short, and feels more like filler, for we are enticed into a'
        `:nice treat in the masterful cover of SODOM's "Blasphemer", :'
        `:putting a blackened twist on a legendary thrash piece.     :'
        `:Zingultus' grim screams fit the track perfectly. Most      :'
        `:definitely the heaviest track on the album, even the solo is'
        `:recreated; a rare thing it is for a Black Metal record to  :'
        `:contain even one solo. Short and sweet as it was, it was not'
        `:meant to detract from this glorious reincarnation of classic'
        `:thrash.                                                    :'

        `:"Nostalgia" marks a rising above what was becoming a       :'
        `:somewhat monotonous sound (by the time of the aptly-named  :'
        `:track, "Monotonous 2013") with a greater use of atmospherics'
        `:and additions of dynamics. Unfortunately, this was short   :'
        `:lived, since upon listening to "Stalin Note" I'm noticing  :'
        `:regurgitated riffs and chord progressions, and it feels like'
        `:I'm listening to previous songs; not a bad track, just     :'
        `:nothing new and inspiring. The last track, "Endstille      :'
        `:(Abschied)" is a much more unique piece, and perhaps my    :'
        `:favorite; largely instrumental, the 'vocals' consist of a  :'
        `:monologue describing heartfelt war stories, backed by      :'
        `:relentless and stampeding riffage.                         :'

        `:I have heard a fair share of Black Metal, and some bands   :'
        `:manage to pull off a release that tries to stray away from :'
        `:the 'formula' of 7-10 blast-beaten songs by incorporating  :'
        `:more dynamics and ingenious arrangements. Unfortunately,   :'
        `:this is not one of those releases; not a bad album, it is a:'
        `:good album; the individual tracks are solid, raw and       :'
        `:deliciously blackened, but begin to drown in what becomes a:'
        `:little inconsistent in innovation. Luckily, it was saved by:'
        `:a beautiful final track, and an excellent SODOM cover.     :'
