█ Flood of hatred against monotheistic religions. █
█ Second album of this activist and blasphemous █
█ French black metal band. █
█ █
█ --- █
█ █
█ I canÆt understand what is going on in France for █
█ the last few months. From the beginning of 2014 I █
█ have received only good albums from France. One of █
█ those is the one of Sigillum Diabolicum too which █
█ is called ô MonothΘ∩sme : Le Grand Culte █
█ MortifΦreö and it was released in March of 2014. █
█ The band consists of three members and they are █
█ together for many years as they were formed in █
█ 2002 and until today thay have released one demo, █
█ one split and two full length albums. ô █
█ MonothΘ∩smeàö is their second album which contains █
█ seven compositions of about half an hour of █
█ overall duration. Sigillum Diabolicum, as it is █
█ perceived by the title too, through this album █
█ they want to present us individually every known █
█ monotheistic religion and to pass their message to █
█ us, something that they do perfectly, both with █
█ the music of the album and with the beautiful █
█ artwork, the introductions and the samples that █
█ they have used. █
█ So, here the listener will come across classic █
█ Black Metal full of energy, with a lot of Thrash █
█ references that in various parts they move into █
█ punk, and storming outbursts. The riffs change █
█ frequently inside the tracks both regarding the █
█ style and the way of playing giving a quite large █
█ variety to the compositions. We will come across █
█ by Thrash violent riffs, to rhythmic punk full of █
█ energy, brutal and threatening Black riffs and █
█ melodic Heavy riffs. But apart from the variety █
█ concerning the style, Sigillum Diabolicum have █
█ achieved to compose interesting melodies which █
█ catch the attention of the listener. The tracks,in █
█ terms of time, have moderate duration (about five █
█ minutes each), but in terms of quality they have █
█ the exact duration that the compositions need so █
█ that they are not tedious for the listener and at █
█ the same time to give the feeling of an integrated █
█ work. Moreover, the band has worked a lot on the █
█ structure of the tracks too in order to make all █
█ the changes in the rhythm and the in style of the █
█ riffing to be done smoothly and like it is the █
█ physical evolution of the track. █
█ The band has made a very good job regarding their █
█ sound too. On one hand all the instruments are █
█ played flawlessly, on the other hand also the █
█ production and the mixture put out a very good █
█ sound that fits to the style of the compositions. █
█ The production is clean and has slightly █
█ underlined the bass, in combination with the █
█ balanced mixture the sound that it is coming out █
█ is full and very solid that it allows you though █
█ to listen to all the details of the composition. █
█ The guitars are clean and they put out a very █
█ massive sound, they deliver the riffs with the █
█ passion and the energy that they need. The bass █
█ can be heard clearly and its lines are quite █
█ interesting. Also for the drums the band has done █
█ a very nice job with interesting lines, which not █
█ only fill the sound. However, what stand out in █
█ this album are the vocals. Depending on the █
█ feeling, the passion and the intensity they change █
█ from screams to possessed, harsh Black Metal █
█ vocals. The singer has a very good expressing █
█ ability and he achieves to transmit to the █
█ listener all of his passion. Finally, the lyrics █
█ are written in French and they are contained in █
█ the cd and I think they describe the suffering █
█ caused by the monotheistic religions. █
█ To sum up, the second full length work of Sigillum █
█ Diabolicum may not have any originalities or new █
█ ideas but it is offering a really well played and █
█ inspired Black Metal. The full of energy and █
█ intensity compositions, in my opinion, canÆt let █
█ any Black Metal fan be indifferent. This is a very █
█ good album that it really deserves your attention. █
█ Buy it. █
