release notes:
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.
