Free Music Review: Brutal Blackened Death Metal Brilliance
Hit: 5 Stars
I first got into Behemoth when I bought their 2005 album "Demigod" a couple years ago, and I quickly became a fan instantly. However when I bought their latest album 2007's "The Apostasy" I was blown away even more. This album has quickly risen to be one of my favorite extreme death metal albums of 2007, and I listen to it almost every day and every week. Behemoth have also risen to become one of my favorite death metal bands as well. Produced by band member Nergal and mixed by Daniel Bergstrand, "The Apostasy" is a brutal, slamming, headbanging blackened death metal assault of absolute inhuman violence that any fan of extreme blackened death metal will definately enjoy. This album is also considered to be very experimental as well, featuring vocal choirs, the piano and a horn section (a trio of trumpet, trombone, french horn) are used in a handful of songs on here. Nergal's vocals are just raw, visceral, throat ripping, and absolutely commanding throughout. Let's also not forget the incredible guitarwork that Nergal and Seth do as well. Their riffs are just brutal and heavy, and the solos are just fantastic and jaw dropping as well. Orion's bass lines are heavy and very powerful, and of course Inferno's lightning fast earthshaking blast beats are just dare I say absolutely wickedly incredible.
Every song on here is just awesome. The opening instrumental "Rome 64 C.E" has a slow yet powerful mounting energy build up and then moments later, track two "Slaying the Prophets ov Isa" immediately blasts right throught the doors with a barrage of rampaging blast beats fast brutal riffs and Nergal's visceral roars come in to play. There's also a pair of wicked solos near the end as well. The next track "Prometherion" (my favorite song on here) continues the brutal assault with more scorching riffs, bullying drumwork, Deicide-esque vocals, wild solos, and a throat ripping chorus that's just commandingly catchy. "At the Left Hand ov God" starts off with a brief but haunting accoustic intro before a barrage of slowly yet booming riffs and blast beats thrust onto the scene. This song is mostly mid tempo that also has some nice melodic solos to boot. Track five "Kriegsphilosophie" features more slamming blast beats and double bass, driving riffs and shredding leads, as well as another pair of killer solos to boot. The sixth track "Be Without Fear" has more headbanging riffs, two more great solos, and some clobbering double bass drum kicks throughout. Another one of my favorite songs on here track nine "Inner Sanctum" starts off with a haunting piano intro before thrusting in with slow booming riffs and double bass. This song also features guest vocals from Nevermore lead singer Warrel Dane as well as some more great melodic solos. The closing track and another one of my favorites "Christgrinding Avenue" quickly opens up with a barrage of fast blowtorching riffs, ear bleeding leads, jackhammering blast beats, clobbering double bass, and a wild careening solo. Nergal's vocals just dominate on this song. A great album closer indeed. Please read on for the song list and my ratings.
Jeremy's song ratings:
1. Rome 64 C.E." (1:16) - 5/5
2. Slaying the Prophets ov Isa (3:23) - 5/5
3. Prometherion (3:03) - 5/5
4. At the Left Hand ov God (4:58) - 5/5
5. Kriegsphilosophie (4:23) - 5/5
6. Be Without Fear (3:17) - 5/5
7. Arcana Hereticae (2:58) - 5/5
8. Libertheme (4:53) - 5/5
9. Inner Sanctum (5:01) - 5/5
10. Pazuzu (2:36) - 5/5
11. Christgrinding Avenue (3:50) - 5/5
Overall "The Apostasy" is without question among the BEST and I DO mean BEST extreme death metal albums of 2007 along with Nile's "Ithyphallic", and Vital Remains's "Icons of Evil" (I still need to get those albums) and among others. Bottom line is this, if you're a fan of Behemoth, blackened death metal, extreme metal, or just metal in general, then by all means you must own "The Apostasy". Later Dudes!!
