Vi Sonus Veris Nigrae Malitiaes

First off, the only aspects on this album that garnered it any points were the humorous layout, and It (Tony Sarkka) being the sole creator behind the sounds you hear. There is no music on this album, and simply this is nothing more than a collectors item. Humourous it may be, but to call it music would be a far stretch. Labeled "the audio essence of pure evil" (which appears on the layout) one wonders how much the creator actually took this seriously. One plus is the layout though, which is simple, but contains a well done painting of It.

What you hear is possibly the first all out noise project coming from the black metal genre. There is no skill or thought (that you can tell) put into the making of this, just randomness at its most abstract. With black metal esque screams placed here and there you get some entertainment out of the sheer novelty of it all. Drums are played periodically, basically sparadically blasting to random cymbols and skins crashing. There is also some guitars (bass and six string) that really dont do much, no patterns or riffs. Since this was recorded in Abyss studios it does have a very good mix, but whats a good mix do for noise...nothing.

There is warnings on the front and back layout, giving you ample heads up to the effects this album could have on its listeners, but if you take this seriously your just fucking stupid. This album is mainly for those of you who like bizarre non sense, with zero musical qualities and evenless of a point (or maybe I just missed that?). It takes alot to make it through this release, due to the callous disregard of what makes music listenable, and the fact that its a little over a hour in length. There are much better albums in this bands discography than this, but if you got a hard on for Abruptum than this may be for you.
