Out of Greece comes Acrimonious with their second demo. Presented on this tape are 4 tracks of mid-paced to fast Black Metal, with a slightly melodic touch. This reminds me somewhat of earlier Deathspell Omega as well as some Kampfar for some reason, with a twist of earlier Morbid
Angel. Quite an odd mix.
The vocals sound a bit like the vocals from the first Ancient album, but mostly they remind me of those in Dom Dracul, but with more distortion to them.
The production is good. You hear all the instruments clearly, and even the bass is allowed some room here, which is rather unusual in Black Metal I think. There is a distinct demo sound to this recording, but not in a bad way.
Over all a quite enjoyable release, although I do prefer the Broken Bonds of Balance 7" they released this year, which shows a clear progression from this release.
Standout tracks are "Goatrapture" and "On Serpent Wings".
