AVSKY – Scorn CD review


AVSKY – Scorn CD
Moribund Records

The word “avsky” means “disgust” in Swedish but there’s nothing disgusting about this CD. Unless you hate Black Metal then this will disgust the living shit out of you. I actually think it’s incredible. At first I thought this was going to be another one man Black Metal project since it’s on Moribund. No offense but you can’t swing a dead goat at Moribund Records headquarters without slapping a dozen corpse painted faces of one man Black Metal bands. But here we have a two piece act who doesn’t mind wearing their DARKTHRONE and CELTIC FROST buttons on their leather vests. Although there’s fewer tremolo picking but more Thrash in the blast beatings. The guitar tone is total Tom G. Warrior style. This is the result of being conceived when their parents were fucking to Morbid Tales. At the end of almost every song there’s a maniacal scream. What’s not to love about that? On second thought this whole thing is full of maniacal screaming that would make Varg Vikernes cry foul. You can hear so many other Metal genre influences on here like Death, Doom and even Grindcore. Since this band knows how to layer it all together it sounds some what fresh instead of your typical mining of the past.
