DENIAL
OF GOD
'Death
And The Beyond'
(Hells
Headbangers)
If one
is planning to pay a visit to the crypt those Danes have been
dwelling in for the last two decades, now the time is right as
you'd be greeted by their most accomplished work to date. Sure, metal
is a young man's game, we all have heard that saying more than once,
yet the old guard is more than capable at times to dismiss the cliché
and Denial Of God are one of the better examples of that. The band
has easily morphed all their different influences to create a creepy
vibe that's presented throughout the whole album, silently whispering
all but forgotten names from the glorious past of our beloved metal
in the process. Black metal, doomy psychedelics, heavy metal - you
name it and rest assured you'd be able to discover all these in
'Death And The Beyond' (amazing title IMO!). Fans of modern day
super-duper 'technical' playing, triggered-to-death drums and
brickwalled sound, please, stay clear of this - you'd not get it,
anyway. Good riddance. Die. However, all those who love the genuine
atmosphere of good old metal done with clarity, class and dignity
should invest their time and listen to this - you'd be rewarded,
that's much certain. This album is a definitive keeper for a whole
generation of fans, fiends and immortals. Chapeau, Denial Of God! [8,5]
