Vengeance War 'till Death

Some former reviewers of this album have taken the position that it's too noisy, too indistinct and too rough. Yup, it sure is. I'm not sure of this whole "War Metal" category that some writers (Especially from British magazines) have been blabbing about, but I do understand the clear link between BESTIAL WARLUST and similar acts like BLASPHEMY, CONQUEROR, REVENGE, BLACK WITCHERY, and to a lesser degree ANGELCORPSE. I do understand That BESTIAL WARLUST had a total overkill sound that blurred out the details in their sound, which some listeners really don't care for. But it was released at a time when it seemed like every death metal band was using clean production and drum triggers to sound way too prefect and precise, and every Black metal band was writing wimpy odes to forests and elves. For me BESTIAL WARLUST was a blast back to the old sinister days of SODOM and POSSESSED with a modern black metal image and lyrical mayhem to go with it. "Vengeance War Til Death" became one of my favorite releases when it first came out, and it had re-visited my stereo many, many times since. Note: The band evolved out of Australians CORPSE MOLESTATION, and members of BESTIAL have gone on the DESTROYER 666 and the excellent GOSPEL OF THE HORNS. Also for Australian Black metal, please check out NAXZUL's amazing CD "Totem"." If you've heard about "Vengeance War" and love noisy, severe metal, please check it out. If OPETH is your favorite band you might want to skip it.
