SETHERIAL – Ekpyrosis CD
Regain Records
If you like some good old fashioned Swedish face peeling black metal then this long time Swiss band supplies it right from the onset. “A World in Hell” charges forth with like a maniac with a flaming chainsaw. The release follows a similar wall of noise formula throughout and that’s the problem. After repeated listening you start picking out one or two decent songs and feel the rest is filler. That’s one of the major downfalls of this style of black metal. Years ago it was incredible but after a few releases bands become a one trick pony. Some bands have learned the lesson and have become better, more diverse in song writing. MARDUK learned the lesson and is now a better band for it but DARK FUNERAL didn’t and their latest noise opus is boring.
Their last release, Endtime Divine, came out seven years ago so you would think that maybe they would’ve learned some new tricks other than gearing down a bit on a few cuts. Otherwise other than the closer “Enemy of Creation” and the opening cut, the rest of Ekpyrosis is forgettable.
