Hellbutcher is thought of as Black Steel royalty, having fronted Nifelheim for a few many years, and right here he’s going solo as a band. Hellbutcher states that this band encapsulates the real essence of heavy steel and disregards predefined developments and models. The straightforward reality is that the song and lyrics reek of evil – reality! ‘The Sword Of Wrath’ proves Hellbutcher (the person) is correct to his phrase. It’s heavy steel in its purest shape. ‘Perdition’, alternatively, is the blackest, maximum frenzied evil steel which channels Venom and Bathory plus a little bit of Motorhead. The guitars are razor-sharp and bloodied, while drummer Devastator assists in keeping up an inhuman tempo ahead of ‘Violent Destruction’ does what it says at the tin – destroys violently.
How they retain up the power is past me. ‘Hordes Of The Horned God’ reins issues in at the intro ahead of a rusty hacksaw of a riff is fired out from Necrophiliac and Iron Beast’s guitars. That is natural evil and boy does the satan have the most efficient tunes, hell yeah! ‘Demise’s Rider’ is a little more conventional steel with a Mercyful Destiny really feel ahead of the foreboding ‘Possessed Via The Satan’s Flame’ offers us a little bit of NWOBHM chug and a few blinding leads. ‘Devil’s Energy’ is some other face-ripping slab of blackened thrash, then issues get much more excessive at the album ‘Inferno’s Rage’.
I really like this kind of stuff. It’s large, nasty, and grimy and utterly unapologetic. For those who don’t find it irresistible then you’ll close the fuck up and fuck off! Hellbutcher is in the similar camp as Nighttime, Hellripper, Bulldozer, and Nunslaughter. It could come throughout as dumbfuckery, however to play with this depth and precision takes ability. This isn’t for the faint of center, so be ready to be aurally overwhelmed.
