Sløvhet

I received this CD as a gift, and in the first sight I can say that it comes in a very good & elegant format, good CD quality (CD-Pro) and a good quality of the art printing. Regarding to the graphic art, is very interesting, but something that bothers me is that it remains in the cliché of Black Metal bands, who abuse of the military and criminalistic image.

The self-titled album compiles the previous works of this project, which due to the knowledge of previous bands (Nergal & Sakrogoat), is in charge of Gustavo Rebolledo. Includes 8 previously released songs plus two bonus tracks ("Pull The Trigger" & "Sell Your Soul"). I must say that the recording quality is very flat, with apparently programmed drums with poor editing to make it sound realistic.

The similarity between all the songs is very annoying, which causes exhaustion listening the album from the beginning to the end, because it gives the impression that it's just one big, long and tedious song. The atmosphere improves from the Track N° 7 "All Committing Crimes", which corresponds to his first work "Go Fuck Yourself!" released in 2020. I must say, that particular work caught my attention and I consider an acceptable recording.

Regarding the concept of the album, it seems to be written by a teenager obsessed with criminal themes. In fact, it seems quite absurd to me that he insists on the concepts "Anti" and "Murder", I think, there are more artistic or intelligent ways to write about these topics. This solo-project presents itself as an "Anti-Human" band, about that, I have no comments, I just can say that when I read it, I found it funny and innocent. Regarding the voice, I can say that he has a tendency to constantly lengthen words, which makes the song annoying.

There is one song in particular that leaves the atmospheric tone of the album, it is the song "Sell Your Soul", which seems to be an attempt at acoustic black metal, which I think could be an interesting idea to explore, but clearly in this case is a total failure.

The best songs are: "All Committing Crimes", "Go Fuck Yourself" & "Pull The Trigger". Worst songs: "The rest of the album." My global appraisement is that this album abuse of the cliché of Black Metal bands that pretends to demonstrate a dangerous image. There's no originality, there's no versatility, it's not an interesting proposition, neither conceptually nor musically.
