GOSPEL
OF THE HORNS
'Ceremonial Conjuration'
(Invictus)
No strangers to the mini album format, much less to
delivering crushingly effective black/thrash, GOTH are finally back
from their self-imposed exile. Dust off you bullet-belts, devotees of the vile Aussie sound, 'Ceremonial Conjuration' is a proud addition
to an already impressive cataloque of metal this band has produced
over the years. The new songs strike the listener with an immense
atmosphere of darkness and destruction, which is no small feat itself
but the band did the extra mile and made the tunes super catchy and
memorable to boot. In a live setting this stuff should work wonders,
there's this undeniable 'instant headbanging' factor one just can not
possibly resist. Damn, the malign vocals by Howitzer are just what
music of such proportions requires, Masochist's guitar work and tone
is spot on and you should all know by now what an intense drummer
Mersus (Destroyer 666) is . No need picking a personal fave tune,
all of them (including the closing cover of 'The Fog' by Goatlord)
stand on their own, making this an essential purchase for those who
prefer their metal rocking, raw and free of trends and fads. [8,5]
