Swedish Black Metal horde Gast has presented us with a four track demo. Musically this is in the vein of Darkthrone and earlier Gorgoroth, crushing mid-paced to fast necro Black Metal, slightly towards the melodic, but with an added dose of Thrash in it. There is a great energy in the music, here.
The vocals consists mostly of hoarse, desperatesounding screams reminding me of Filosofem era
Burzum, for some reason (despite the fact that those are whispered rather than screamed), Arckanum and those on the earlier Gorgoroth releases.
The soundquality is raw and a bit chaotic, somewhat towards that of a rehearsal tape, although not quite as bad. The guitars are what you hear the most in the mix. The only thing to complain about are the effects at the beginning and the end of the two tracks in the middle. In fact, the demo would have been better, had they been left out.
Also, in the booklet they have the following text: "Mixed, rehearsed and recorded in 3 hours and 17 minutes. Up yours, Darkthrone!" in reference to Darkthrone's steatement on Hate Them - "Recorded and mixed at Pan lydstudio in 26 hours, December 2002." A little fun there.
Standout tracks are "Krig i Vinterland", "Jesuslakt Gastmakt" and "Förfall".
