No Peace. No Love. No Whores. No God.

This is, quite simply, what the last few Darkthrone albums wished they were. Black metal infused with a significant portion of good old crust punk. Kommander L, primarily known for his more traditional black metal act, Luctus, debuts this blazingly fast side project with No Peace. No Love. No Whores. No God. If the title didnt give you any hints, this band does not make music for the bleak of heart.

The production is very raw, even for black metal, and the drums do have a very metallic tone as would be expected from a drum machine. The vocals are harsh, but at the same time end up being incredibly catchy. Like most black metal albums, the bass is buried in the mix, following the guitars wherever they want to go. However, the guitar work is what makes this album so damn fun. Kommander L definitely took a page out of the Bolt Thrower school of music and translated it to a black metal style. This songs all sound very much the same, however every one of them absolutely slays. The blasphemy cover(atomic nuclear desolation) towards the end ends up sounding right at home and the random speech clips imposed onto the beginnings of many of the songs end up being a good change of pace.

This album is a blast to listen to, from start to finish. It may be repetitive and overall basically made for shock value, but I've yet to get tired of it. Give it a chance, it may brighten up your day.

Oh, and once again, if you are easily offended, stay away, far away.
