Grimcult - Revelation of Sinister Flame (2020)
Poland
Putrid Cult
Grimcult
is a Polish one-man Black Metal project situated in Ireland and
“Revelation of Sinister Flame” is their debut mini-album released
by Putrid Cult. “Nobody” – the warrior behind the music –
understands perfectly well how to conjure an epic and cold atmosphere
that transports you back to the glorious '90s, reminding us of bands
like Graveland, Mutiilation, (old) Behemoth, etc. Simply put, this is
Black Metal made by someone with a proper understanding of what the
genre is all about and it can be heard in the music as each song
conveys that cold, dark mood redolent of all the classics from the
second wave. I especially like the fusion of synths in the songs as I
feel that it adds another dimension to the music. The songs would've
lacked depth without the synths. Obviously, this isn't a masterpiece
or anything ground-breaking, but the overall result is auspicious
enough to garner some appreciation from Black Metal diehards. If you
like well-executed Black Metal in the traditional vein, then you will
undoubtedly enjoy “Revelation of Sinister Flame.” (HT)
