Kult Ofenzivy – Kadikalni Ateismus – Tvurcum Nadeloveka
Someone get this drummer a glass of water… his incessant blasting must get the best of him live, but it is this driving backbone that hurls the material on “Kadikalni Ateismus – Tvurcum Nadeloveka” into a firestorm of unrelenting blasphemy. The production on this album is top notch, even though that snare really pounds holes into your head due to the piercing ring of it, but this gives the album that uncomfortable feeling that should arise from good black metal. The vocals are the next item of interest. Noticeably loud in the mix, the singers deep croaking style is of the dark and twisted spoken word variety, very even keel in his performance, at times reminding me of Atilla in the way he phrases words and the overall style. The music itself is your standard black metal institution of frenzied and chaotic riffs that stir the storm of stress and agitation in the listener. This out of key noise attack makes perfect sense in this style of music, but it also makes it difficult to absorb the material, making the listeners still standing and wanting the abuse, have to dig back in numerous times to fully comprehend the “songs” that are on display. Kult Ofenzivy create 1 dimensional black metal and they do it well, allowing their over the top, dynamics be damned, writing style and overall sound, to propel them into the “keeper” pile in my collection. I’m not sure how often I’m going to spin something like this, but I have somehow enjoyed the simplistic material on display. –Marty
