(Bathory cover)
Fifteen years ago, Black Witchery and Conqueror, both
still virtually unknown outside of a small cult of
maniacal blasphemers, united for the split release
entitled "Hellstorm of Evil Vengeance." Exploring a
style that few North American bands dared approach at
that time, Black Witchery and Conqueror inherited their
extremist tendencies from the likes of Blasphemy and
Sarcofago among others. Looking back, the release can
now be regarded as something of a statement of intent in
that it signified the establishment of a second wave of
Bestial Black Metal and set the course for the future of
the genre. Although external circumstances would
necessitate the termination of Conqueror's mission
immediately following the release of the split, J. Read
continued treading the path of the Superion with Revenge
and R. Forster was initiated into the ranks of
Blasphemy. Black Witchery also persisted through the
years, assuming a well-deserved, prominent place among
the bestial legions. Since the split release in 2000,
Black Witchery and Revenge have shared numerous stages
all over the world and maintained a united front within
the underground. Similarly, NWN!, which also began its
campaign of atrocities in 2000, established its dominion
over the chthonic depths of the Bestial Black Metal
underground. Having settled into their respective roles
as progenitors of a particular faction of extreme metal,
it is time to assemble the unholy triumvirate of Black
Witchery, Revenge, and Nuclear War Now! once more. For
this release, Black Witchery turn in one of the band's
most primitive and punishing recordings to date. The
three tracks on this record herald the arrival of Black
Witchery's new guitarist Alal'Xhaasztur (of
Nyogthaeblisz, Hellvetron, and Nexul) alongside core
members Vaz and Impurath. While the Black Witchery
tracks approach regions of boundless chaos, the Revenge
side is a frenetic display of precision attack.
Revenge's sound on these tracks is more refined,
focused, and violent than ever. "Holocaustic Death March
to Humanity's Doom," honors fifteen years of relentless
warfare while simultaneously ushering in a new aeon of
darkness. - J. Campbell
