Ghost B.C. Infestissumam

GHOST
INFESTISSUMAM
   If you've been searching for that perfect soundtrack to your casual late night Satan worship, then look no further! Ghost's second full length release provides groovy riffs, eerie electronic keyboards and the trademark, unhallowed vocals of Ghost's very own Papa Emeritus II. And what a storm of diabolical brilliance Infestissumam is.  
   Although the chillingly beautiful Infestissumam probably isn't being played very much inside the Vatican, it will certainly become a favorite among fans of the occult worldwide. After the critical success of the spectacular debut album, Opus Eponymous, Ghost have earned themselves a dedicated and expansive fan-base. This has undoubtedly put a lot of anticipation and expectation on Ghost, to produce another slice of Lucifer friendly perfection. Judging by the finished product, Papa Emeritus II and his band of Nameless Ghouls aren't remotely phased by worldwide expectancy. In fact, Infestissumam not only lives up to prediction, it drastically exceeds them. Of Ghost's two magnificent releases to date, their latest venture is definitely the greater of two evils. 
   "Per Aspera Ad Inferi", "Year Zero" and the lead single "Secular Haze", make for just some of the many highlights of the album. "Per Aspera Ad Inferi" in particular contains some of the best and heaviest musicianship of any Ghost song yet. It is also one of the grooviest songs by a mile, reminding at times of "Ritual". Meanwhile, "Jigolo Har Megiddo" is one of the most upbeat songs of Ghost's entire catolgue. It just goes to show, songs dedicated to the Antichrist can take many different forms. They don't all have to be brutally heavy, as is demonstrated by the indecisive sound of "Gheleh/ Zombie Queen". 
   Infestissumam is most deserved of a listen. Whether your an existing fan of the band or not, there is nothing for you not to like about this album. Not only will its infections choruses and instrumentals became lodged in your brain, but it will leave you with a raging thirst to see them live. If nothing else, it is guaranteed to make you feel a lot safer after dark.

No Nonsense Metal: Top 10 Albums Of 2013!

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year. However, it should also highlight just how much can change within a 365 day stretch, and just how much Metal music can terraform within that time. So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the...

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...
