Acrimonious - 2006 - Broken Bonds of Balance 7"

Out of Greece comes this Black Metal band with a promo of an upcoming 7" containing 2 tracks of mid-paced to fast, Swedish and French sounding Black Metal. The material presented here reminds me of both Watain and Deathspell Omega, really, and is just slightly melodic. You can hear a distinct progress since their Perdition Gospel demo here. The material is harsher and sharper.

The vocals remind me quite a lot of those by Erik of Watain.

The soundquality is quite good, and has improved since their demo as well. Slightly murky sound, but that is something at least I enjoy. You mostly hear the guitars and the vocals with the drums ever so slightly further back in the mix. The production reminds me slightly of that on Mayhem's De Mysteriis dom Sathanas and Watain's Casus Luciferi. Both the tracks presented here impressed me, I must say. I am most definitely keeping track of this band, and so should you!
