Negative Plane can do no wrong. Their latest album
entitled "The Pact" is nothing short of a masterpiece. The band has
always had a unique approach to writing riffs and kept the music simple,
although enriched with great songwriting. Their ability to weave idiosyncratic
elements with black metal is absolutely captivating. These days it's difficult
to reinvent the wheel of black metal, and bands that offer something unique are
few and far between, though I feel like Negative Plane has succeeded in that
department. The music exudes a profoundly sinister atmosphere that feels like
demon claws scratching at your soul. Musically, the entire performance is
excellent, including the vocals. The production is also perfect. "The
Pact" will surely go down in history as a classic. Recommended for fans of
church burnings, black magic rituals and serial killers. Stand-out tracks:
"A Work to Stand a 1000 Years" "Poison and the Crucifix"
