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?

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
