Satans Carrion – Rehearsal MMXVII (2017)
USA
Independent
Satans Carrion is a band from Oxnard, California, that plays raw black metal in the vein of Xasthur, Mütiilation, and Black Funeral. The release I'm reviewing Rehearsal MMXVII is a collection of three songs captured live in their rehearsal room. The songs may not be very lengthy, but the band does a terrific job at capturing the essence of black metal in all its glory. The atmosphere generated by the guitars is unsettling and haunting, whilst the drummer does a good job at securing the misanthropic flow. The vocals are tortured and exudes hatred and despair. I don't really hear any bass, but the music sounds good without it. The release under review is good for what it is and was made by two maniacs with an obvious love for the genre. Overall, Rehearsal MMXVII is a solid entry into the plateau of black metal. So lets hope the project continues and manifests to its full potential. For the diehards.
