The Australian horde IMPIOUS BAPTISM, a band consisting
of J of, just to mention a few, SITHLORD, DESTRÖYER 666
and HOBBS' ANGEL OF DEATH, a man that have been somewhat
around as an armageddon drummer and bringer of warfare.
He is now ready with his own entity and the first of 3
releases, so far, this year. J is deeply rooted in the
Australian tradition of chaotic grinding Black / Death
Metal with a nice thrashing edge to the guitar riffing
and the chaos pretty much controlled much of the way.
The 2 tracks on this EP are dark and sinister with an
eerie sphere over it all, some mysticism have been
incorporated into the sound picture of this band, and at
times, I can hear bits and pieces of Death Metal era
DARKTHRONE in the higher atmospheric guitar parts. From
fast and punishing to midpaced madness, grinding its way
through darkness and hatred, hammering down on
non-believers of Metal. We are getting some really good
guitar riffing and frantic maniacal vocal work on top of
well written tunes, without it going into history.
"V.A.N.V.D.A." is offering good Metal in the boundaries
of Black and Death Metal driven by a dark and intense
atmosphere, somewhat catching for a dark ear and with
the already mentioned elements standing out.
