BURIAL HORDES Devotion To Unholy Creed CD

Few bands can match the twisted manifestos of unbridled sonic chaos that were Beherit’s “Drawing Down The Moon”, Darkthrone’s “Under A Funeral Moon” or Gorgoroth’s “Pentagram”, but Burial Hordes seem completely content to try and basically succeed. All of the right elements from half-guttural/half-sepulchral barks and ravings, Hellhammer inspired thrash riffing, to fuzzy production practices and a few atmospheric gimmicks are fixed firmly in place. But most of all, a very fresh and untamed approach to songwriting more in tune with the non-minimalist nature of Darkthrone’s “A Blaze In The Northern Sky” is presented that keeps the listener guessing.
