Impiety – Dominator — Pulverised, 2008

A year after they released their latest full-length, Impiety spit out a mini album where they sound just as fierce as the relentless attack of their previous works.

This is the kind of death/black metal that you would expect when it comes from countries not famous for their vibrant music scenes. The characteristics are that their Satanic imagery always sounds like it is meant more seriously then in Europe and/or America. We also get some excellent new additions to the English dictionary as usual - Slaughterror from the first song this time round.

After an eerie intro we immediately get a tone setter for this piece in the shape of "Slaughterror Superiority" with evil sounding lyrics and insanely fast bass drumming that drives forward the buzzsaw guitar riffing. The sound is genuinely raw because it is the result of friction and has a certain type of abrasiveness to it. "Dominator" is even faster and will quite possibly be a live favorite with its call-to-arms chorus and the lyrics are, unsurprisingly, very religion-bashing.

A cover is included here and the choice is a cult classic, namely "The Black Vomit" by the legendary Sarcofago, a song that Impiety do justice on this release.

Fruits of the Decision Tree
Sleeping Giant Glossolalia (2024)

Some instrumental records create atmosphere while others create movement. Fruits of the Decision Tree feels like it creates an entire environment. It’s unstable, mechanical, strangely beautiful, and constantly in motion. The solo project of Nick Skrobisz (Multicult, The Wayward), Overcalc exists somewhere between electronic experimentation, prog-level guitar precision, ambient drift, and full on sci-fi hallucination. Trying to pin it cleanly … Read more
