Nocturnal Damnation - Nuclear Massacre of Goatkommando (2020)
South Korea / Thailand
Inhuman Assault Productions (Tape) / Deathrash Armageddon (CD)
If it's
blasphemous, militant, and brutal War Metal you seek, then you need
to check out Nocturnal Damnation's latest EP, “Nuclear Massacre of
Goatkommando,” as soon as possible. The EP is inaugurated with an
intro featuring samples of war that sets the tone before all hell
breaks loose. The songs vary in pace from mid to fast, but
occasionally breaks down to more mid-paced territory to add heavier
dynamics. The music is supported by a beefy production and underlined
by a strong rhythm section laced with occasional leads. The guitars
plot along nicely with everything else while the drums are always
battering you into oblivion and offering various tempos. The
barbarous growls are perfectly layered over the array of sonic
violence and gives the whole thing a verily menacing atmosphere.
Nocturnal Damnation stands out in the sense that they put emphasis
on structure and making the songs sound cohesive as a whole. The
lyrics are your typical lines about war and armageddon, so if you're
looking for something poetic, then look elsewhere. All in all,
definitely check them out if you're a fan of bands like Wargoat,
Witchrist, Zygoatsis, etc. This EP will pulverize you from start to finish. (HT)
