Enter My Megaron
Description:
Memorial is so far the best all-around black metal album to come out on fledgling Baphomet Records. This Dutch black metal band delivers a 29 minute album of material that can be compared to Ulver's raw material and Darkthrone's more noted, melodic albums. While Memorial's style is reminiscent of the two aforementioned seminal Norwegian bands, the material does not sound half ripped off and half original. The production is thin but biting. The drummer keeps up a mind-blowing frantic pace on the bass drums throughout much of the black metal parts of the album, but you have to pay attention to hear it due to the lo-fi nature of the recording. The experience is made even more searing by the dry-throat rasping of the vocals. These vocals are sometimes produced to a high banshee-like whoosh to accentuate the climax of the song. The result is very much akin to everyone's favorite scratching nails on a blackboard. While ‘Enter My Megaron’ is undoubtedly a black metal album, there is a certain death metal element to the riffs and the album's attitude. It is indispensable to note the two brooding, beautiful acoustic guitar tracks that are present on the album, and really do a great job in punctuating the black metal material. Track listing: 1.
