Anima Damnata |
 Ya
know, sometimes after I review a new slew of black metal albums, I get a
flurry of misguided emails from Euro necro-feebs who threaten to crucify
me with shards of old Bathory records because I’m not
down-with-the-underground enuff for them. The friendless,
mealy-mouthed little creeps. Nobody digs a dose of crazed Satanic speed
like demonic ol’ me, man. Case in point, the latest from Polish
corpse-defilers Anima Damnata, a black-death hybrid who wear
gasmasks and armbands full of 18 inch nails. AD, who have been
around in one form or another since ’96, play ferocious necro-thrash with
puking vox and nail-gunning riffs that sound like chunks of hail ripping
through the hoods of cars. The only chink in the nearly bestial armor is
that the drums sound exactly like a very determined woodpecker, but it’s
kinda hard to sound like anything but, at such blistering speeds. The
lyrics are grim-faced odes to the Apocalypse, the booklet is all-black
with a few blasphemous scratchings here and there, and the scary fuckers
even have a link to “Necro Porn” on their website. Me, I loved it,
‘specially “Necrosadistic Masturbation Upon the Mary’s Disembowled
Corpse”, for obvious reasons. Bonus points for the atmospheric,
creepy intro-outros, and for “Mary’s” brilliant ‘chorus’: “Storm of
cumshots!”Dude, you will probably go to hell just for READING this, so ya might as well pick this up, since it’s too late to save yourself anyway. Look for it wherever ultra-obscure Polish black metal is sold. Wal-Mart or wherever. ____________________________________________________ |
