After nearly seven years on hiatus, Baphomet's Blood
have returned (minus S.V. Goat Necromancer) with booze
in their beards, blood on their jackets, shovels on
their shoulders, and eyes set on murdering
lawns-o'-plenty as only Mot├╢rhead could do. Fans will be
pleased with the commotion and newbies will wonder why
Hells Headbangers didn't pick these guys up - seriously,
they fit right in with Midnight and the sadly defunct
Speedwolf. Nevertheless, if released by HHR or Iron
Bonehead, the recipe for In Satan We Trust would remain
the same: stir booze, Satan, and speed together until
incorporated, bake for forty minutes, and serve. Repeat
as needed.
Baphomet's Blood kicked off their Mot├╢rhead-meets-Venom
desecration with 2006's Satanic Metal Attack and, since
then, these Italian inverted-cross bearers have improved
greatly with each successive release. By Second Strike
(a must have for lovers of the style), Necrovomiterror's
vocals took on gruffier Lemmyisms, the production became
"cleaner," and the riffs became heavier and heavier.
Always fun, always consistent, Baphomet's Blood bring in
the New Year with some of their strongest material yet.
As mentioned, opener "Command of the Inverted Cross"
begins with the Satanic prayer from Lords of Salem
before transitioning into one of the heaviest chugs the
band has ever written. This charging riff bridges the
gap between elderly campfire nudity and the band's
traditional Satanic Mot├╢rhead sound. This eight-minute
"epic" is a God-defying rocker; sporting nasty riffs, an
in-your-face chorus, and some killer solo work. "Command
of the Inverted Cross" is never quite topped in
"grandiosity" or length, but the Cronos-inspired chorus
of the title track and the crushing "Infernal Overdrive"
try their damnedest. "Infernal Overdrive" opens with
chunky, raw riffs robbed straight from I's Between Two
Worlds before dive-bombing into mid-paced gallops that
make Budweiser's Clydesdales look like sissies.

After Jack Nicholson's toast to D.H. Lawrence, "Whiskey
Rocker" passes around a fifth of bourbon to better
amplify the effects of your amphetamine overdose. This
song is fast, simple, and rocks your socks off. Though
similar in approach to "Whisky Rocker," "Hellbreaker"
holds the torch for most addictive chorus and the
heavy-metal attitude of "Elég" makes it the best closer
the band never wrote. In typical Baphomet's Blood
fashion, the band concludes this release with a cover;
in this case, a catchy ditty from the Hungarian band,
Fáráo. Baphomet's Blood takes the song's simple,
heavy-metal structure and dips it in battery acid. The
song's core is intact, but the intro's aggression and
the spontaneity of the full-band chorus lift it up-or
drop it down-to the level needed.
But, for how much I love In Satan We Trust, it's not a
perfect one. The compression, for instance, feels like
six-feet of dirt sitting on your chest, and numbers like
"Underground Demons" and "Triple Six" don't quite have
the same punch as the other tunes on the album.
Thankfully, the production doesn't obliterate the
experience, and these weaker songs are actually quite
enjoyable. So, if you're in need of a speed fix or you
have an itch for a quick-and-dirty midnight desecratio,
then put your trust in Bapomet's Blood. "In God We
Trust?" Fuck no. In Satan We Trust.
