Angst - 2003 - Divine Wrath

Swedish Black Metallers Angst have some really raw and catchy riffs here. On this release Angst were forced to utilize a drum machine, since the drummer suffered a knee injury. I am not that fond of drum machines, but this one isn't as in your face as many can be, and the guitars cover up the more inorganic sounds of it. On the forthcoming 7" a new drummer has been added to the ranks, which will be very interesting to hear.

Presented on this promo are four tracks, and they sound like Swedish Black Metal of today. Slightly catchy, a good production, some parts remind me of Watain other parts remind me of Shining. Not bad at all. Mostly midpaced to faster Black Metal here, with some slower parts and some Metal influences as well.

The production is good and clear. The vocals remind me a bit of those of Carpathian Forest and earlier Marduk. A new album is to be recorded in 2004.

Standout tracks are "The Aeon of Genocide" and "Deathraped".
