Hymner til døden og mørket

It’s past and gone when the Nordic wind used to blow from Norway, and it’s rather all kinds of rotten stenches that you can get from there now. All these innumerable projects of talented virtuoso musicians arouse only firm disgust. Apart from DARKTHRONE and TSJUDER there’s nothing to recall, no matter what band I would try to trace. And here I got a promo-CD of a band unknown to me named MARERITT. Well, it is unknown not only to me though. Browsing through the Internet didn’t give any result, so let’s pass to the music straight away. Damn, I didn’t hear such Black Metal for long time. There’s an impression that this mini-album was recorded somewhat in the beginning of the 90-es – for so raw it sounds. But this impression is false as this project is a very young one. But the way the musicians could reproduce the atmosphere of complete underground is very respectable and it’s a big plus for them. Musically, it is primitive, very raw and slow BM, quite depressive and atmospheric. It’s not on the level of ABYSSIC HATE or NORTT (which is quite natural), but the band definitely has the potential. MARERITT will find its listener, just 17 minutes is a bit not too serious.
