Faustcoven's first album, black metal mixed with doom elements. This shit is GOOD. A little faster than the previous and possessing a very evil vibe. Sick of the tremolo/synth trend in black metal this dude took it way back to Asa Bay with a more 80s approach to BM shaded with the heaviness of doom. Someone else nailed it perfectly so I'll just leave it to them:
Built on a rock-solid foundation of old-school doom metal and both first-wave and second-wave black metal, Faustcoven has forged these two seemingly incompatible elements into a seething blackened whole. Crushing riffs that wouldn't seem out of place on one of Black Sabbath's 70's classics mingle in a cauldron with the kind of slashing blackthrash that brings to mind a mixture of classic Bathory and Darkthrone. In other words, three pivotal branches of metal's evilution (spelling intentional, thank you very much) are fused here with ample success. Kicking off with "under The Pagan Hammer", a self-described deathmarch for the fall of Christianity, the songs here will simply embed themselves in your skull and refuse to budge. Then "Annointed In Flames" speeds up slightly, but not into the blast fest you might be expecting. This is pure old school, so you won't find any grindcore elements. Just a brain-squashing weight created by sludge, morbid atmosphere and grime. -The Metal Crypt
Catchy vocals too. It's sing-a-long black-metal, like Nachtmystium or Living Color.
Only in 192kbps because the internet is too kvlt for high quality rips I guess. Just glad I didn't find a gramaphone rip recorded inside of a trashcan inside of a dumpster located within a hangar built inside a wind tunnel. Kriiiieg.
