release notes:
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!
