REVIEWS FOR YOUSE

NECROMESSIAH - ANTIKLERICAL TERRORISTIK DEATH SQUAD
Utterly blasphemous and hate-filled blackthrash madness, Necromessiah cursh, maim, and decimate all things holy with their fast and razor-sharp hymns out of hell! This is a release that hearkens back to days of old, when black metal was still an obscure entity and releases actually were a work of art rather than a hip fashion statement. Cramming 10 songs into a mere 28 minutes of savage ferocity and adorned with artwork by the legendary Chris Moyen, this bestial creation teems with sadism and vileness! That should be more than compelling enough for you to embrace it! (FA)

GOSPEL OF THE HORNS - REALM OF THE DAMNED
Crushing. Pulverizing. Mesmerizing. Add whatever -ing you want right here, and it will probably fit sublimely. Blackened thrash obsessed with absolute power and all things self-serving and only of benefit to one's own existence, Gospel of the Horns are the musical embodiment of Machiavelli, Ayn Rand, LaVey, and Robert Greene and an unstoppable fist smashing the doctrines of liberalism and guiltmongering. No excuses and no apologies are given for their "wicked" (which is an entirely relative term as it is) ways. Every bit as good as "A Call to Arms", "Realm of the Damned" sucks you in, chews you to bits, and doesn't even bother doing the courtesy of spitting you out! (FA)

M.O.D. - RED, WHITE AND SCREWED
Billy Milano, beautiful man that he is, comes roaring back with good ol' Method of Destruction after laying low for four years. The man's been at it for three decades now and his style of punk/thrash crossover continues to leaves us all in his cross hairs after all these years. I am sure a good portion of us have some fond teenage and adolescent memories of Milano's music in one form or another, be in M.O.D or S.O.D. material. You know the drill; nothing is sacred and no stone is left unturned in Milano's quest to defame and slander everything of the current societal pulse, from government to censorship to illegal aliens. Even legends like James Hetfield and King Diamond are graciously poked fun at, and Billy also takes another opportunity to heap praises upon New York City and its wonderful way of life. I wish we could all be as cool as him! (FA)

THRONAFIRE - EXACERBATED GNOSTIC MANIFESTATIONS
FORECAST: Be prepared for a vicious Chilean brutal death metal attack! Thronafire's first full-length is one heck of a devilish slab of bloodstained death with no mercy or compromise. 10 tracks of blasphemies, perversions, and sadomasochism are just a few of the temptations present that you know you simply can't resist. There's even a music video with a well-designed layout as a little extra incentive to purchase this grimoire of all things vile and foul! Consider this a fair warning! (FA)

ARKHON INFAUSTUS - ORTHODOXYN
With their fourth full-length, Arkhon Infaustus continues to pulverize us with their perverted and most blasphemous blackdeath filth. Incorporating touches of doom and sludge along with spoken word parts to perpetuate an ominous atmosphere, these French Dead Cunt Maniacs are fast making a name for themselves in the underground and with any luck we'll get some live performances stateside from them in the eventual future. Tempos change on a whim and vocals styles alter back and forth from growled to hissed continuously. Indeed, this is the art of blasphemy dished out hotter than hellfire. With all but the last song clocking in at over five minutes, this is one long, agonizing journey down the abyss. Hope you brought snacks! (FA)

BLOODY SIGN - EXPLOSION OF ELEMENTS
Well this might piss some people off, but hey, I'm food at that - I feel this is what the last few Krisiun albums should have been, as lacking as I thought those were. Bloody Sign has delivered a crushing style of blackened death metal that would surely be the envy of ANY death metal act who seems to progressive go on a downward spiral with each subsequent album. And it doesn't let up at all, so there isn't a single dull moment in this prelude to the apocalypse. Ibex Moon Records sure does have some high quality acts on their roster, and like the Thronafire they again bestowed this release with a kickass high-quality music video. Much kudos to both the band and label! (FA)
