Thy Feeble Saviour - And Darkness Fell (EN)

After two demos and two split releases, the "long awaited" (quote info leaflet) debut album of the US-Black metalheads will be given to our domestic facilities in March. I could be wrong, but according to Facebook the debut is already available as a to 200 copies limited cassette since December 2017. But well, it doesn't matter.

According to the leaflet, they carry on the perverse torch of Black Metal, which was once ignited by Profanatica and they are also some kind of tradition in the scene. Well, in the atmosphere of Profanatica or Beherit, the two-man band is truly in good hands, because they hack through their monotonous riffs just as dull, raw and amateurish.

While listening the disc achieves to awaken one thing, though, namely an uncomfortable and dirty feeling. The riffs are, as already mentioned, monotone and simple black metal. They remind of above mentioned bands and get boring after the first run-through, because that sounds so exhausted. This is all too typical for the genre, predictable and presented without ideas. The question about the textual orientation / statement does not arise at all, because the '' Vocals '' are mixed in the background anyway and they only seem to consist of '' uuuaarrgghh '', '' oooaaarrrgghh '' and '' wwwuuaaahhrrggh ''.

I can understand perfectly that you might commit to this type of BM, because the talent doesn't suffice for more than just sawing through the botany in a uncreative and amateurish way, but why do you have to be so high and mighty about it !? Well, other bands also promise a lot, but at least they keep their promises.

Conclusion:
Too much triviality, no ideas and interchangeable. This turns the disc into a snotty ball of hate, which is quickly coughed out.

Rating: 3/10
