TURIN
TURAMBAR
'Corona
Regni Satanae'
(Self-released)
According
to Metal Archives "This album was never
released, only one hundred promotional copies were sent around the
world." And this is only the beginning of the weirdness living on in TT, a band /
project of Ataman Tolovy (Stillborn,
Genius Ultor). The
music sounds deliberately disjointed, as if to prevent the listener
breaking through into some sort of a private nightmare, blazing
speeds and suffocating dirges follow one another with little concern
of giving a coherent flow to the tunes. Fair play to the band for
having the balls trying out something this different, but in all fairness
the urge of extreme originality becomes mostly a chore in the second
part of the album and drags down the positive impressions left off by
the opening tunes. Part black metal atmospherics, part annoying
industrial drone, part Voivod
on really bad acid trip, do you fancy the combination? Greg of the
ever-reliable Godz Ov War who submitted the disc had warned me this
is not gonna be an easy review - true. Being the cool cat he is he
has uploaded songs from 'Corona...'
on YouTube. Be very
afraid. [6,5]
