Ondskapt/Dodens Evangelium/Next Horizon Records/2004 CD Review


  Ondskapt are a band from Sweden that plays a very dark, satanic and spiritual form of black metal and this is a review of their 2004 album "Dodens Evangelium" which was released by Next Horizon Records.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown in at times, while the bass playing has a very  strong, powerful and dark tone with riffs that dominate throughout the album, as for the synths which are only used on the last song they bring a very dark and evil feel to the music.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very dark sounding and melodic at times, while the lead guitars are very distorted and melodic sounding black metal guitar leads and solos.

Vocals are a mixture of grim and high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some deep growls and mournful cries as well as some occasional spoken word passages, while the lyrics touch on Satanism, Occultism, Darkness and Evil with the songs being written in both Swedish and English, as for the production it has a very dark, powerful and heavy sound to it.

In my opinion Ondskapt are a very good Satanic black metal band that is also very raw, heavy and brutal and if you are a fan of this genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lord Of All Unclean Spirits" "The Fires Of Hell" "Blessed By Demoniac Wrath and "Witch". RECOMMENDED BUY
