█ Battlestorm is what the Far East has become, a █
█ perfect example of good, brutal metal. Here in the █
█ States metal is not nearly as worshiped as it is █
█ in Indonesia, Singapore, and India. Despite the █
█ lack of bands that tour there, a scene of rabid █
█ devotees has sprung up. I feel right now Far █
█ Eastern metal is the strongest and Demonic █
█ Incursion backs this idea quite well. █
█ Sound-wise it is a frantic, yet concentrated brand █
█ of brutal death, death, thrash, and hints of black █
█ metal. Lead man Hades barks and yells blasphemous █
█ tales of evil with a distinct, yet subtle accent. █
█ Stylistically, it is not a trademark for death █
█ metal, but much more so of black metal, yet the █
█ surrounding riffs paint a different picture. █
█ The never-ending frantic nature of the riffing is █
█ an instant headbanger, perfectly likened to old █
█ school death metal mixed with new school █
█ extremity. Drum-wise, blast beats are more or less █
█ the constant, but there is quite a banging nature █
█ to them. It isn't as exhausting as blast beats █
█ usually are and are just used more correctly. █
█ Overall musically, it would be best described as a █
█ mix of Vital Remains, Hour of Penance, and a █
█ touch, or more so a tad, of second wave black █
█ metal such as Mayhem, Burzum, and early Dimmu █
█ Borgir. Lyrically, the themes vary from evil, your █
█ good touch of blasphemy, and some Oriental █
█ mythology. █
█ Do not hesitate to listen to this album. You won't █
█ be disappointed in the least. If you are a fan of █
█ the burgeoning Far Eastern metal movement but █
█ prefer a little more than slamming and guttural █
█ vocals, Battlecross is for you. Definitely a █
█ great, great album with great, great potential. █
