█ As usual, here we are in 2015, and we are █
█ unearthing a few 2014 releases worth your time. █
█ Amid the many 2014 releases I overlooked is this █
█ album I randomly downloaded amid all of the █
█ digital promos we get sent having no idea about █
█ the band at all. But the internet helped me outà █
█ Apparently, despite being around since 2001 this █
█ is only the second album from AustriaÆs █
█ Misanthropic Might, (they released their debut █
█ Misanthropic War over a decade ago) who shares █
█ members with death metal act Parental Advisory. █
█ But itÆs a pretty damn good effort of Dark █
█ Funeral-ish wall of noise, razor sharp, slightly █
█ melodic black metal furor, that also has some █
█ early Cradle of Filth riffs and high pitched █
█ screams, just minus the Gothic bullshit. █
█ DonÆt let the COF comparison fool you, itÆs only █
█ in the shrieks, a few deep bellows and fierce █
█ blasts, as the DF reference is pretty dominating, █
█ I actually thought third track ôDoomsdayö was a █
█ cover song from Secrets of the Black Arts, being a █
█ dead ringer for the albums opening track (which of █
█ course could be wholly intentional). And the album █
█ is littered with many frosty, tremolo picked icy █
█ blasts that will make you shiver, making for a █
█ pretty under that radar release that fans of the █
█ style should check out. █
█ Along with the aforementioned ôDoomsdayö, the █
█ likes of ôFallen Kingdomö, delivered with perfect █
█ control and pacing amid the vitriol, and utterly █
█ blistering, personal favorite, ôHuman Scumö, which █
█ even hints at a sort of Zyklon like, mechanical █
█ death metal intensity, the album , even at 46 █
█ minutes, is a force to be reckoned with. And while █
█ the 8 songs are pretty long for this style, it █
█ never loses steam and shows just enough variety █
█ (i.e some melodic leads in closer ôBecoming the █
█ Misanthropeö, some movie samples) to hold your █
█ interest, and be a black metal band I will be █
█ keeping an eye on, assuming they donÆt wait █
█ another 10 years. █
