Abrahel continues a dark torment of lust and evil - 100%

After the album "Abrahel," released in the year 2008, this genuine black metal band, steeped in the worship of the True Barcelona’s Underground, Spain, presents in 2011 a promo entitled "Back From the Underworld", which consists of five songs. The first track, called "Implacabilis Procella Cupiditatis"." triggers, as an intro, the story of the devil "Abrahel", into the resonance of the contrasts that bring the desire, perversion, pain and, finally, the enjoyment that brings the world of the evil passions of lust. Later this "Sexual Slaughter," a song that has fast and aggressive guitar riffs, with a bass stout and extreme battery times of great strength and speed, where the blast beats are superimposed intermittently with the handling of a double pedal that demonstrate a very good execution of a true black metal. Recurrence of riffs give the song a great artistic reputation, especially if one considers the great power of the vocalization of Incuberus, who manages to contrast treble screams, reminiscent at Ihsahn of Emperor, with the change shouted a bit more low, especially operatic vocal work type, which makes the band something authentic and to give this song and all the promo a high quality level within the black metal musical Europe.

Third is "Nocturnal Wings," which begins with guitar riffs in the old style black metal of the nineties, followed by battery time thrash metal type with a bass of a great power, a executed infernal; after some arpeggios, the song becomes extreme and takes great speed, always on the rhythm of different types of Incuberus’s voices, especially the recurrence of vocalization type operation, which makes this song something really exciting, a unique energy overloaded only a black metal with this execution can provide; the track has two very emotional guitar solos, alternating between aggression and play rhythmic riffs highest level. "Sexual Slaughter" and "Nocturnal Wings" are part of the next book in this Iberian horde. In fourth place is "Existencia maldita," (cursed existence) a song sung in Spanish, whose letter corresponds to some poems by the Colombian writer Hector Escobar, the “black pope of South America”. The issue begins with a predominantly double drum pedal, with harmonic guitar arpeggios then triggers highly emotional one, where the bass tops the consistency of implementation, the power of shouted vocals and operatic Incuberus always dial stages of implementation, especially the continuous overlapping of the screams and the skill with which you insert the music to the poetic dimensions of the letters, and the correspondence is demonstrating a great musical work, which enhances the uniqueness of this proposal black metal, and when at the end of the song one of the poems recited and is complemented by some ideas of great existential implications, which highlights the theme of time and the role of beings on the path of darkness and evil, the victory over the mediocre world of the mass of humanity, this final part is slow, slow and emotional about riffs, where the drums and especially the bass, make this truly masterful and deep in the Black Metal Underground. The last song, "13 Clandles" is a cover of Bathory, a tribute to Quorton, one of the fathers of metal, and include it as consistent arrangements that fail to make, especially with regard to vocalization

Letters must say that is a poetic work of high quality, evidenced by a writing with images very well accomplished, which is known to want to give an account of lust, perversion, lust, evil and darkness, brings with it the path of carnal pleasures, expression of ideas that evoke atavistic demonic spirits that make flesh their eternal abode. Excellent black metal, an example of what can be done these days in Spain, Underground art executed with high level of musicianship and especially consistent with what is thought as a way of life and worship of the dark.
