KÖRGULL THE EXTERMINATOR / AKERBELTZ - War & Hell LP
Tax included.
On the surface, Spain’s Körgull the Exterminator seem like a rather too obtuse tribute to Canadian progressive sci-fi metal masters Voivod. The similarities do not end here, because the Spaniards are essentially borrowing the formula found on War and Pain and Rrroooaaarrr and then trampling it out to an unholy extreme of blackened death and thrash. What’s more, Körgull the Exterminator have one of the most vicious female vocalists in the business right now, in the magnificently named Lilith Necrobitch, and she goes a long way towards the long term effects of this album. The band is just a dynamo whirlwind storm of holocaust and death, honing in more on a strategy of beating the listener to death than any intricacy in raw compositional skill. However, such a highbrow bearing would be inconceivable for this, because Lilith’s vocals are so fucking hostile, the guitars carving out your skin like nuclear saws, that you have no choice but to be destroyed under the album’s weight.
Akerbeltz are the inheritors of Darkthrone’s sound legacy in the Spanish scene. Black metal in its purest form, yet going deeply into the atmosphere and the darkness of their sound. With a dose of violence and aggression, but with cold and melodies they create hypnotic passages of gloom.
Ltd. 300 copies on 180g black vinyl.
