            █  So South KoreaÆs Fallen AngelÆs productions has     █
            █  been around since 2010, and based on my recent      █
            █  package from them, they have a pretty distinct      █
            █  niche for international, simple, middle ground, lo  █
            █  fi black metal (Pest, Elffor, Dark Plague,          █
            █  Kvalvaag, Skoll, Krigerewolf, Catacumba) and even   █
            █  some home grown nihilism (Taekaury), but one of     █
            █  the bands more recent releases, breaks the mold a   █
            █  bit; the debut from NorwayÆs Wendigo. And of        █
            █  course itÆs a style I really donÆt ægetÆ. Good olÆ  █
            █  black/thrash.                                       █
            █  That said, new act Wendigo ( the side project of    █
            █  label mate Kvalvaag and vocalist Jon Henning), go   █
            █  on and do their thing with aplomb. Gritty,          █
            █  gravelly guitars with gritty gravelly vocals        █
            █  rasping about all manner of horror and              █
            █  cannibalistic themes (duh, Wendigo), I even get a   █
            █  little odor of NecrophagiaÆs horror based metal in  █
            █  here to (check out the keyboards that close out     █
            █  ôCannibal Ritualö). ItÆs nasty, itÆs primal and     █
            █  its equal parts black sheen and thrash/punk sneer.  █
            █  ItÆs not a game changer and its not going to make   █
            █  me a fan of the genre, but like say, Gravehill or   █
            █  Craven Idol, thereÆs a snarly feral energy that     █
            █  cant be denied. For example the mid paced ôThe      █
            █  Anthropophagistö has a steady, menacing throb and   █
            █  rumble thatÆs hard to ignore and the fierce         █
            █  following track ôSerpent Masterö, actually kicks a  █
            █  little ass, while ôWendigo Psychosisö is a pretty   █
            █  fun romping thrasher (as is 7th track ôHuman        █
            █  Fleshö).                                            █
            █  The 80s horror movie score/vibe/keys returns for    █
            █  the 5 minute ôFear (Is Big Business)ö and 6 minute  █
            █  plodder ôLive Lobotomyö before the outro ôEndingö   █
            █  complete the album with a spooky piano close out.   █
            █  IÆve heard worse black thrash albums, and while     █
            █  not really my thing, this things is pretty solid    █
            █  and a nice little album from Fallen Angels          █
            █  Productions amid some pretty mediocre stuff.        █
