Blasphemophagher is a direct musical descendant from such cults, as Blasphemy, Sarcofago, Archgoat & Morbosidad. Moreover, they have already climbed upon the pantheon and today they are among the leaders of so-called "War Metal Scene".

This is a debut full-length offering from Blasphemophagher and it KILLS. It kills throughout the whole album, giving us no single moment of rest. Musically-speaking, Blasphemophagher plays raw, filthy, grinding and violent form of Death Metal, that is labeled today as "War Metal" or "Goat Metal". Growling vokills, chaotic guitar chainsaw, and violent wardrums! I won't say that this band carries that 80's feeling, as some people tend to say, but rather a modern day adaptation of it. The sound is pretty much clean even, which doesn't pose any obstacles for this devastating Hateful Metal Warmachine. Everything is executed just perfectly! The roaring guitar uses thrash riffs from time to time, while still retaining a chaotic edge to it. Blasphemophagher uses a variety of tempos. Most of the time the music is fast-paced, but there are quite slow moments as well, and it still sounds freaking violent even then!

I see no point in describing instruments separately. Let us just say, that they all contribute to the hellish cacophony that is Blasphemophagher! BUT this band doesn't sound like any other War Metal outfit, but rather shares the same spirit of total underground chaos! And I strongly recommend you to get the die hard LP edition (of course if you have an LP player) of this masterpiece, since it features two absolutely killer bonuses on a separate 7''! Lyrically the band deals with Atomic Nuclear Fucking Chaos! No more, no less.

Honestly, I stumbled upon this band absolutely randomly, having never heard anything prior to this full-length. But I was really impressed by it! I would say, that they are among my all-time favorites now! For all Ross Bay Cult fanatics, this is a MUST! No more words needed, just get it.

There are good albums, there are great albums, there are fantastic albums, then there is BLACK WITCHERY.

Okay, to start with, this album is only 20 something minutes long. There was a 5 year break between the previous one and this one and, honestly, nothing changed at all since then. If anything, music became even more monotonous. No single new riff. Hell, there are almost no melodies here. It's still the same Black Death jackhammer fest as it was back then. The drumming is as monotonous as ever. The guitars are buzzing and the sound is very far from the (so popular today) Abyss or Necromorbus polishedness, so it's hard to distinguish separate notes from this mess. As I mentioned, it's only 20 minutes long, but even a minute of this is enough for every good citizen to turn this off and throw the CD into a garbage disposal unit. I imagine, christians catch serious nausea from this music, pregnant women give birth to stillborn babies, while children, that are already born, receive very late term abortions. The lyrics are simple and, in general, they retell the same old story in the same very words, as if the person, who wrote them, has a very limited vocabulary and doesn't plan to learn anything new any time soon. A traditional cover of Conqueror finishes the picture. An ambient song amidst the massacre briefly changes the pace, but not for long, so who cares. The cover has absolutely no new ideas to it whatsoever. Just a bunch of disgusting demon creatures and a burning church in a traditional Chris Moyen style. We all saw and heard it all a thousand of times already.

In short, it's Black Metal AS IT SHOULD BE. My absolutely favourite album of 2010 and an absolute MUST for those of you, who values real substance over worthless image wankery.

For exquisite perverts, the normal non-exclusive edition features a bonus DVD, so you could see this hell live on your TV/computer screens.
