‘A Beseechment Twofold’ is slow and steady with an eerie, almost silent intro before the soul is unleashed to the praying hordes below. ‘A Sweven Most Devout’ and ‘T.O.W.D.A.T.H.A.B.T.E’ follow the same path as the opening duo, venomous, cruel and domineering. Omelar also spits out the vocals with hostility and malice which all adds to the splendour of the makeup. The drum work of Horm is impressive and the fretwork from Omelar and Velnias is absolutely flawless. ‘Mardom – Echo Zmory’ is powerful, aggressive and bleak. The whole album follows the same trend with no one track particularly standing out as a highlight, which may be down to the fact that the whole package is so masterful and perfect in its chosen media. ‘Inception Of Atemporal Transition’ cuts the beast open at the artery and it pours out a moody, oppressive, demonic intro which really sets the mood and tone for the proceedings still to come. This is pure, raw, traditional, venomous black metal in its purest form and Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult deliver it with a deluge of grime and malevolence which makes it so immoral and obnoxious it has morphed into a true thing of pure beauty. This 22 year old Germanic Black metal institution that is Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is back with their 6th sacrifice in the form of ‘Mardom’.
