BEHEXEN
'Nightside
Emanations'
(Debemur
Morti Productions)
Black
metal. You know black metal, right? Yup, I know you do - saw it last
night on Facebook. Funny Vikernes memes. The newly adopted black and
white kitten - Abbath, you know, is sooo lovely. And the pandas video
link...genius, pure genius!
You know
jack.
The
return of Behexen, after four years of silence, couldn't have
been more appropriate, time and music-wise, or welcomed. 'Nightside
Emanations' is the kind of rude stab in the face this so-called
"scene" of today sorely deserves. The Finnish lunatics have
proven once more that you must recognize your roots in order to be
able to move forward, all while praising the rebellious Luciferian
flame the genre has been build upon. It's all in here for you to
explore - ten songs filled with oppressive abysmal atmosphere and a
longing for that indescribable "other world" we're all
secretly hoping breaking in. Yes, the album is THIS good and each and every
new listen makes it better. Leave behind your prejudices about the
relevance of "2012 black metal" and the jagged "heard
it all before" feel and submit yourself. The spirit of
classic-era Bathory, Mayhem, Dissection and
Root lives on in Behexen and that's all you need to know
before purchasing this album.
Black
metal.
Lay down your souls.
Silly
review, you say?
Just make
sure you delete me on Facebook.
Thanks.
