Mütiilation - Majestas Leprosus

The malignancy keeps flowing - 81%

cinedracusio, December 6th, 2005

Do not get me wrong: this album is poor compared to Mutiilation standards on earlier releases.
This thing is a deranged journey through the dark and painful world of Meyhna'ch. The riffs are really different from what Mutiilation used to work out in the past, being more complex and precise than the previous simplicity and sloppiness. Anyway, Mutiilation advanced towards a faster general tempo, faster riffs and a more generic black metal sound (comparison to Mayhem popping up, although it is better than anything Mayhem has done). The guitars are more cutting than ever, and they also have a weird distortion effect, as if every note is being played double-time. Probably they were fragmented by the almost undecipherable drums.
The vocals sound like Attila Csihar got torn from the grave and strangles himself. Meyhna'ch spits necrosis-ridden screams on a constipated, venomous tone. And the lyrics... man, these lyrics are damn hateful, not in a satanic way, but in a nihilistic one. Give a listen to Beyond The Decay Of Time And Flies and Tormenting My Nights.
Beginners should enjoy it. But da old ones like me know that Meyhna'ch could have done much better... (or worse, it depends how you take it).
