Azarath - "Praise the Beast"

Poland
On their third album Polish fiendish blasters Azarath further explore the direction which they hinted at with "Diabolic Impious Evil" and "Infernal Blasting". "Praise the Beast" is a tour de force for the band, who are laying down their most concise, precise and furious material to date. Consisting of Trufel (guitars, ex-Yattering), Inferno (drums, Behemoth), Bruno (vocals/bass, Convent) and Bart (guitars, Damnation) Azarath is a supergroup of sorts with experienced players from the Polish extreme metal scene. With a line-up like that the results speak for themselves "Praise the Beast" is a high octane, no-holds-barred death metal whirlwind that openly flirts with black metal on various instances. Stylistically, this is very similar to Belphegor but with the well known injection of Polish technicality, viciousness and instrumental prowess. The riffs are short, evil and militant with slithering leads/solos in the Slayer school of random scales while being fast and noisy. The production is clear enough but holds enough grittiness and rawness emphasizing the band's black metal mindset. The drumming is wild while being relatively straightforward compared to Inferno's work in Behemoth. The artwork, design and lay-out are in the tradition of the band's earlier records. The special edition digipack of this album contains an exclusive bonus track with a cover of Acheron's 'Ave Satanas'. Of note is that Inferno is replaced by former Lost Soul drummer Adam Sierżęga when Azarath plays live. Technically accomplished demonic death metal that easily crushes many of today's young acts in a single sweep.

Co za debiut! Jestem absolutnie zauroczony tym co zaserwowała ta norweska ekipa i absolutnie nie dziwię się, że Dark Descent nie zwlekała z kontraktem. Dotychczasowe doświadczenie muzyków Sover...
...co do saksofonu to był to przypadek całkowity. Bo idąc coś zjeść do miasta napotkaliśmy kolesia który na ulicy grał na saksofonie. Zagadałem do niego żeby nagrał nam jakieś partie i zgodził się. Oczywiście nie miał pojęcia na co się porwał, do tego komunikacja nie była najlepsza, bo okazał się być obywatelem Ukrainy i język polski nie był dobry albo w ogóle go nie było...
