The marching snare and the dramaticsynths are a good start, and the explosionof samples is a fitting culmination to theintro.The first song "Planets" starts off withmore samples, all very sci-fi, but then thebig guitars and double-bass kick in withthe heady synths, and you know its goingto be a heavy ride. The vox are of thedeath/black croaky rasp variety. Justwhen you think you have a handle onthis, in comes another mid-song industrialpiece, and then back to the atonal extrememetal. Then another hyper industro-synthbit and so on. This is strange, tosay the least."Die Stadt Ist Im Krieg" starts off withmore dark strings, bells and timpanibuilding to atonal extreme metal. There isan unearthly anthrophobic quality to it(though the lyrics are beyond me), andelements of Mayhem circa Grand Declarationof War (minus the hyper blasting) andAlastis can be felt in places. The rhythmsare all suitably varied, and the militaristicfeel is present throughout, but coupledwith the strange synths it just soundsplain bizarre."Bleeding Underwater" is again introducedby a now typical Mars on Earth intro butexplodes with a faster more traditionalcyber black metal sound (though still notblast paced). This is predictably broken bya gothic keyboard break to go back to thefull-pedal industrial black metal motif.The song progresses to include somebeautifully juxtaposed instrumentationsand vocals. My only complaint with thisrelease is that it is over too quickly.This MCD is a promising release. Fans ofAGBM are advised to direct their attentionhere.****This album is available for a SPECIALPRICE of 3 $ at RED STREAM!SuleimanMYSTICUMIn The Streams Of InfernoRelease: 1996Label: Full Moon RecordsAvantgenre: Digital Extreme Inferno MetalDuration: 36:35Origin: NorwayOfficial site: http://www.myspace.com/mysticum.............................................................................................................................................If someone would start a competition to guitar-razorblades on "Nattens Madrigal”.point out the most evil and grim Thirdly, these guys support the "Neveravantgarde Black Metal band of all time,Mysticum would be one of the top favouritesto win the price. I mean, these guyswere signed by the mighty father of allNorwegian vampires, Mr. Euronymous,himself, on Deathlike Silence Records.stop the madness”-campaign which supportsthe use (or abuse, as you like) ofhard drugs. Shall I go on? No, I think wecan all agree, regardless how much of thismight be slapstick, "In the Streams of Inferno”is a damn cult release.Who of those wanna-be-evil-worshippersof today is able to claim something justclose to this? Secondly, the sound on theirdebut "In the Streams of Inferno” is evenmore high-pitched and invidious than theBack in 1995 the psychos around vocalistand guitarist Prime Evil were the first tocombine ingredients of harsh, cold andmerciless Industrial (mainly digital drumsand various samples) with the sharp and
ugly sound of True Norwegian Black Metal.If you take in consideration that this isthe one and only official album till today,you get an idea of how intense the materialmust be, as the band was able to influencea whole generation of angryavantgarde-metal musicians just with oneoutput. Soon after, the fruits of this unholymotherhood could be tasted on masterpieceslike "666 International” or "With noHuman Intervention”.Today, more than one decade after therelease, it is hard to analyse this album.With an unemotional and sober approachone has to come to the conclusion, thatthis is crap and not worth one penny. Thesound is rather dilettantish, the electronicdrums are blustering without any kind ofcreativity and the keyboards annoy withtheir common tone and melody themes.On the other hand, and now we leave thespheres of rational reception, the atmosphereon "In the Streams of Inferno” issimply magic. The artistic coolness ofMysticum combined with the rather eviland possessed vocals, spreads a poisonedspirit, which is in these times, where extrememetal has become nothing morethan cheap mental fast food, a welcomerevelation of the sick and poisoned genesisof Norwegian Black Metal. Myticum’s musicshould be hence labelled and evaluatedas a relict of music history. A metalrecord which is old fashioned, musicallyunspectacular and trashy, but in thesame time represents a bridge betweentwo important evolutionary stages of extrememetal.PolygonNAMELESS ORCHESTRALPROJECTGott Ist TotRelease: 2007Label: Epiphora ProductionsAvantgenre: Industrial Black ThrashDuration: 49:51Origin: FranceOfficial site: http://myspace.com/namelessop.............................................................................................................................................Here be goodness ! Though a bit late inreviewing this masterpiece of French metalinsanity, this surely deserves a lot morehype and reviews then it actually got onits release. Though most references to thisoutfit describe it as some form of blackmetal, I found it to be more of industrialthrash release (albeit moody and blackened).It starts out (after a short but apt sample)fast and furious with the relentless andthrashy "Smells like Divine Composition".There are nice interludes with a nice fatbass, and vocals that recall early 90'sthrash. The riffing is a throwback to someclassic Euro-thrash along with more blackmetal oriented styles. There are some nicesamples along the way. "I.N.R.I" continuesthe catchy assault, with a great (and humable) opening riff. The industrial elementsin all tracks are reinforced by the stopstart nature of composition and guitarplaying as well as the various samplesinterspersed through out the album. Thefinal element that firmly places NOP in theindustrial extreme metal genre is the programmeddrumming, that actually adds tothe album's relentless assaulting vibe (insteadof detracting like so many contemporaries).The vocals vary through out,going from the aforementioned thrash tohardcore shouting to black metal-ishscreams often in the same song, makingfor some great variety. The riffing alsoalternates between the industrial black
