Release Notes:
Roman Sayenko (known for his other work in HATE
FOREST, DRUDKH, and DARK AGES) has several black
metal projects in which he works mostly alone,
although in the new one BLOOD OF KINGU he has
invited his mates. (BLOOD OF KINGU hails from
Ukraine, not to be mistaken with the American or
the Colombian band with the same name).
In the Babylon mythology Kingu is a god-monster,
whose blood served as a divine spark for humankind
creation. An intro of mystic-shaman percussion
leads us into a black metal whirligig where we can
easily perceive the influence from the early
BATHORY and IMMORTAL. The sound is upheld by bells
and horns and it seems that the vocals are coming
from the underworld - a low singing with lots of
reverberations. There is no melody in the vocal
lines, but the Slavonic sorrow is implemented in
the music! All these peculiarities overflow in the
10-minutes long epic "Incantation of He Who
Sleeps" (the fourth track) where the woven intro
rustles to its end...
The next songs are in the style of DARK FUNERAL
and EMPEROR, but they contain so standard riffs
that they could be compared almost to everything
from this stage. The seventh track is just
percussion without any exquisiteness or
virtuosity. The album ends with the cover song of
BEHERIT. "Gate of Nanna" is sufficiently exploited
track (HELLFUCKED, REVEREND BIZARRE). From easy
program track BLOOD OF KINGU have made shaman
roaring with a mystic tint.
The combination between abnegation of the
contemporary civilization, wide spreading of the
black metal scene and some lyrics inspired from
the early Middle East mythology with concealed
right-wing political messages, is not supposed to
raise wide interest amongst the already satiated
audience.
