: From the ashes of glorious Swedish black-thrash legends :
: Nifelheim Hellbutcher arises. Right from the first notes, we :
: can hear that the Swedes around Per "Hellbutcher" Gustavsson :
: spread total mayhem with their debut. After the split of :
: Nifelheim he "realized (he) needed to create (his) own spirit :
: of metal", so, together with guitarist Necrophiliac :
: (Mordant), Iron Beast bassist Eld, and Martin "Devastator" :
: Axenrot (Bloodbath, Opeth) he founded the band. What came out :
: is some ferocious drumming, ultra-fast guitar riffs, and :
: Hellbutcher's grim shrieking vocals that deliver a sheer :
: Blitzkrieg inferno. What is to be found on Hellbutcher is :
: old-school stuff that makes you feel like you are back in :
: 1995 when Nifelheim put out their debut. It must be in the :
: DNA of the guys (apart from Iron Maiden) to bring back the :
: 80s when German thrash was the hot shit and of course praise :
: the godfathers of black metal. :
: :
: I mean, just check 'Perdition' and you will instantly know :
: which band was the blueprint for that one. Just that one :
: opening riff and the machine-gun-like vocals - "Pleasure To :
: Kill"!!! And this is also the biggest difference to :
: Hellbutchers predecessor. With the new band there are much :
: more thrash elements to be found and the songs have a little :
: bit more structure. Also, the guitar solos almost explode :
: with the melodies (okay, that's an exaggeration) but a song :
: like 'Hordes Of The Horned God' is super catchy and surprises :
: with many great hook lines. But apart from the black-thrash :
: influences, there are some more rock n' roll elements like in :
: 'Death's Rider'. Here they ride more mid-tempo paced through :
: the blood-soaked streets of Sweden to chop off some heads. :
: Again the vocals are super grim but the base tone is very :
: much dirty rock n' rollish. The whole song trickles off a :
: slight asocial atmosphere, from the vomiting vocals at the :
: beginning up to the sleazy chorus. Oh, and the guitar solo in :
: this one is so goddamn casual. This song is the right thing :
: to drink a few beers to and listen to it loud in your garden :
: while there is a children's birthday party at your :
: neighbor's. 'Possessed By Flames' shows another facet. Again, :
: very groovy and with a little bit more worship of NWoBHM :
: legends. The guitar work is very much Maiden-inspired (what :
: you can only notice of course if you fade out the hellish :
: vocals which are paired here with some sonorous spoken :
: words). But this isn't a surprise either if you know that :
: Hellbutcher is probably one of the biggest Iron Maiden fans :
: in the world. And for the last one, I don't know how to give :
: a song a more appropriate title than 'Inferno's Rage'. This :
: matches so perfectly because the last track on Hellbutcher is :
: this literally. This song comes closest to old Nifelheim, it :
: is just fury and destruction. If black metal needs an iconic :
: anthem, this is a proper candidate. This could go for the :
: whole album, which will be a classic in a few years for sure :
: when it comes to the black-thrash genre. :
: :
: Hellbutcher himself said that he doesn't like wimpy stuff and :
: that his music must reek of evil and so must the lyrics. They :
: "are METAL, striving to refine and evolve (their) music and :
: image to become and heaviest among all extreme metal bands :
: throughout history. Disregarding predefined trends and :
: fashions, (they) will persist in the authentic path that :
: metal was meant to follow!". He told me lately that he is :
: already working on some new stuff for Hellbutcher and that :
: Nifelheim was always a little bit slow when writing an album. :
: Let's hope that they won't make us wait for too long for the :
: follow-up. But now is the time to enjoy the debut. As I said, :
: you just need some beer and a garden party next door! My :
: guess is, your neighbors will be as floored as I was while :
: listening to it. Horns up!! :
