I disagree with the past review on this album.

I actually think this is very good, even though this is a "black metal parody".
This band has an idiotesque and kind of humorous approach on black metal, and I think that's cool.

The sound quality is like the one you would find on an early Darkthrone or Beherit album, well... sometimes it's even worse, but it's listenable, afterall black metal should be primitive and raw, right?

Lyrically this is a shit-cocktail of subjects oftenly used on black metal, stuff like vampires, goats, demonic possession, "winter" and "frost".
It's funny to read these guys lyrics, because they are not to be taken seriously or anything, it's just crap, and most "serious" black metal lyrics are crap as well, at least these guys are aware of it!

Musically this is old school black metal at it's best, and I mean really good darkthrone/bathory-esque riffs with a lot of punk-rock energy.
I like their sound a lot on this demo!

Overall, I think this is a very good band, these guys are not set out to mock black metal or anything, just to have some fun with it, you can see throughout their stuff that they are big black metal fans.

If I had a label I would sign this bunch at once!

Ultra-recommended for those with a sense of humour/open mind towards black metal.
