Dethrone the Son of God

Havohej is one of those bands that the word "cult" was just invented for. It's impossible to imagine them pulling a Cradle of Filth and becoming mega-stars. This album is NOT for everyone. This is what Black Metal should be, dirty, raw, blasphemous and just plain sick! Paul Ledney's vocals are so raw and hateful, you can actually picture christianity falling as you listen to him scream out "I vomit on god's child!!" This album features mostly re-recorded material from Paul's previous band, Profanatica, as well as some new material only released here. The songs are short, violent bursts of Black Metal that just explode out of your speakers. There are a lot of people that don't "get" what Havohej is all about, and that's sad because it's completely obvious. It may sound cliche but, you can't call yourself a Black Metal fan unless you have this one in your collection.

The original version of this one is long, long out of print. In fact, Candlelight stopped acknowledging it's existence years ago, and it is never mentioned by them in their catalog, website, etc. Thankfully, the good folks at Supreme Art Productions saw fit to re-release this beast to the Black Metal public. A few notes between the 2 versions, the re-released version features different cover art (a little darker in color then the original), and a different cd booklet layout. The original also featured 2 tracks that were titled "Drums" and "More," at numbers 13 and 14 respectively. Both were only around 45 seconds long and do not (to the best of my knowledge anyway) appear on the re-release. I have seen the Candlelight version pop up in auctions 2 or 3 times lately. However, save yourself some money and lots of headache with trying to track that one down and get the re-release from Supreme Art. You'll be thanking Satan that you did ;)
