I got completely stoned by the vigorous music inside this “Throne Behind a Black Veil” just because sometimes we forgot how pungent Black metal can be, and it was in the beginning. I don’t want to complain, but Black Metal lost a lot of its power of doing evil with time. It kind of sweetened by too many instrumentals and symphonics and things. To listen to a Black Metal album one had to be prepared to blow the ears off. There are two features that make “Throne Behind a Black Veil” specially insane; the insane vocals and the mad precise guitar interventions. Vocalist Adrastos yells all time doing a lot of incredible noise passing us a rage that it’s actually supernatural. What he does in “Death Raid Apocalypse” is a peculiar example of it. Guitar interventions are fast and furious as they have to be doing a lot of noise as well. Just the way guitars have to act; boldly and proudly. I don’t know you, but sometimes I think that in some acts the guitars have to excuse for playing a solo. No, sir, that’s not Metal at all. Total Hate aren’t any of this. The band play with bloody eyes and relentlessly. Very nice for a monday, isn’t it?
