The musical backbone that makes up DiabolosRising comes from the mind of MagusWampyr Daoloth of Necromantia (andother Greek bands, too numerous to mentionhere). By taking the framework ofdrum and guitar composition from thelikes of Ministry and KMFDM, and thenmixing it with keyboards reminiscent ofsome 80's horror movie, he managed tocreate an album that coalesces the personaeof Black Metal with the precision ofIndustrial quite well. The production isclean and polished with atmosphere providedby the ever-present sound of droningkeyboards which gives it an almostpalpable evil ambiance. There is a somewhatsubtle Mediterranean, or even middleeastern, flavor through many songsand when juxtaposed with the technologicalaspects make it easily adaptable foruse as either a soundtrack to "Bladerunner"or "The Last Temptation of Christ".The vocal delivery is provided by the secondhalf of this electronic project, Finland’sImpaled Nazarene spokesman, MikaLuttinen. Taking into consideration thepractice he had on the industrialized track"Gott ist Tot" off of Impaled Nazarene’srelease "Ugra Karma" it seems only appropriateto have Mika as the voice of thisincarnation. As one might expect the majorityof vocals have that Imp. Naz. toneand forcefulness, with many of them havingadded effects heightening the industrialfeel. Added to that are a handful ofspoken parts which help accentuate theritualistic elements of the music.As for the lyrical content (also written byDaoloth), with a title like "666" one canmake obvious assumptions. Of course notwithout it’s sense of Satanic irony, track 6being literally 6min and 6sec of silence forSatan.Along with a few disparate projects, suchas the Cold Meat Industry releases, this isone of the earliest examples of individualsfrom the Black metal underground delvinginto electronically based music, pre-datingthe exploration of many of their contemporariesby a number of years. Whichmakes this a must for anyone interestedin such Black metal/Industrial amalgamationsand deviations.MvHDIAPSIQUIRVirus S.T.N.Release: 2005Label: NecrocosmAvantgenre: French Crackwhore ElectroBlack MetalOrigin: France.............................................................................................................................................Have you ever wondered how 666 Internationalwould sound, played through aFrench crackpot freaking out on acid?Well, the closest I have ever heard wouldbe Diapsiquir, the perverted brainchild ofArkhon Infaustus guitarist Toxik Harmstanguish of urban decay. At the core of itall, you find black metal, throbbing withthe powers of SATAN (according to Diapsiquir,short for Seringe - Absorption - Torture- Alienation - Nihilisme). Yet it is notSatan in the biblical sense, but the Devil(voice/guitar/bass/computers). This is in its truest form - in the empty eyes ofprobably one of the most wicked, malignantand satanic recordings I have everthe homeless prostitute and the abusedchild, or flowing through the veins andcome across, seeping in the depravity and
