PLUTONIUM
'Devilmentertainment
Non-Stop'
(Self-released)
Bleak, claustrophobic and mind-strangling, J.Carlsson's PLUTONIUM is
a band that shouldn't be taken lightly. For all I know, this might
very well be the aural equivalent of wandering through the muted
streets of some desolate, post-apocalyptic city, all while arguing
with yourself whether to keep calm or submit to the call of lunacy.
One really has to admire the atmosphere oozing from this release, an
effect that numerous other bands desperately try but fail to achieve.
Comparisons to both THORNS and DHG, at their creative best, are
definitely in order but for once it's great to see someone taking the
blueprint of those two and adding his own vision, integrity and
musical skills that ultimately round off this album to sound as
genuine as it does. This might be an awkward listen to some but
personally I'm more than happy to have this release as proof that
one can successfully radiate the sinister and menacing vibe of black
metal through new channels and not making a mockery of it. Solid and
infectiously catchy. Recommended. [8]
