SALVATION 666 - Anima Pestifera CD
Blackseed Productions
Usually something this frosty is better listened to during the winter months in order to enhance the seasonal experience. But it’s May, a balmy 70 degrees and a summer afternoon thunderstorm is brewing outside so it will have to due. Forming in 2005, releasing demos in 2006 and 2007 plus an acclaimed 7”er Sermo Diaboli on Black Devastation records last year; this German black metal duo finally branches out with a full length. Albeit only with a little more than thirty minutes of music Anima Pestifera keeps with the cruel tradition of Satanic German black metal which many people tend to overlook. Just two guys making all this destructive power, A on guitar and M on bass, drums and the evil toad sounding vocals. Musically this stands with one claw toed boot in the world of post black metal and the other firmly planted in a realm that’s melodic but still raw. A perfect example of this marriage from Hell is on the seven plus minute track, “Oderint dum Metuant”. It opens beautifully with a solo guitar melody about half way through and then black metal war consumes the rest of it. All of Anima Pestifera carries some extreme atmospheric elements that are honed to a sharp battle edge.
