Draconis Infernum have been carrying the Singapore Black
Metal banner for over two decades, brothers Chris and
Colin never chasing trends or demanding attention. They
simply let the music speak for itself, and that approach
has earned them respect both at home and abroad. Having
shared the stage with the likes of Archgoat, Impiety and
Infernal Execrator, there's no need for loud claims or
self-promotion. Their catalogue says enough.
'The Black Flames of Satan' is built on strong riffs and
solid songwriting. The band understands that memorable
black metal isn't just about relentless speed. Every
track has its own identity, with enough variation to
keep the album engaging from beginning to end. 'Incense
for the Forsaken' sets the tone immediately, while the
title track and 'In Eternal Decay' stand out with some
of the album's strongest guitar work and memorable
melodies. The production powerful without becoming
overly polished.
Musically, Draconis Infernum remain firmly rooted in
traditional Black Metal, backed by a strong death metal
undercurrent that gives the riffs extra weight. Chris,
under the moniker Abysmal Spectre, delivers what is
easily the strongest vocal performance in the band's
history. His rasp is deeper, more commanding and far
more consistent than that of the band's all previous
vocalists, giving the songs an added level of menace
without overwhelming the music.
Behind the artillery, Derrick Prawira known as Nocturnal
Hellstorm, turns in a phenomenal performance. His
drumming is relentless when it needs to be, with razor
sharp blast beats and punishing double bass work, but he
also knows when to ease the pace, allowing the riffs and
atmosphere to breathe.
Together with the cold, cutting guitar tone, their
performances elevate 'The Black Flames of Satan' into
one of Draconis Infernum's most complete and convincing
releases to date.
After more than twenty years, Draconis Infernum still
sound hungry and committed to their craft writing
quality songs and doing it exceptionally well.
'The Black Flames of Satan' is another strong chapter in
the band's discography and further proof that Singapore
continues to produce world class Extreme Metal.
A solid fucking 696 Skulls!
