What little information we have on the one-man raw black metal band 1648
will hardly satisfy our readersÆ curiosites, for which we must beg your
unanimous pardon. Although the initially inaccessible, but deeply layered
experience that is Lying Among the Despised Ones of the Earth, the bandÆs
debut release, will prove to be more than enough on its own.
Based in ôMadchester,ö England and being the work of one man, 1648 builds
its sound on simplistic, driving drum machine beats then takes the idea of
æraw black metalÆ to its outermost limits. Five sprawling tracks,
uncompromisingly harsh for 40+ minutes straight,1648 keeps pace ætil death,
peaking like a transdimensional volcano the whole time. Unexpected and
stunning, Lying Among the Despised Ones of the Earth is a feat of
impressive dedication, wild skill and sadistic audio engineering.
Many new raw black metal bands are content to lead a stagnant existence
within the expectations of their ilk. 1648, on the other hand, exists
within this realm because of their primitive approach to recording. The
music itself is inspired, daring and adept. The strident manner in which it
is presented serves to further embolden the vitriolic spleen of 1648. Make
no mistake, the admixture of pain and enjoyment you are feeling is
intentional.
Available to order now on pro-tape from Belgian stalwart Babylon Doom Cult
Records, 1648Æs spectacular debut full-length comes out this Friday
digitally. Regardless of what 1648Æs future may look like, Lying Among the
Despised Ones of the Earth demands your immediate attention.
