Infernus/Nex Um Monastica/2010 CD Review


  Infernus are a band from Albany,Oregon that plays black metal in the vein of the 90's Swedish black metal masters and this is a review of their 2010 album "Nexx Um Monastica".

Drums are mostly fast playing with a lot of blast beats but they do slow down when the music calls for it, while the keyboards are only used on occasion as an effect instead of a lead instrument, as for the bass playing it has a very powerful sound which has its strongest moment on the cover of Impaled Nazarene's "Armageddon Death Sguad">

Rhythm guitars are mostly fast black metal riffs in the classic Swedish vein with a little bit of melody and the mid paced riffs have some thrash and death metal influences and at times there is some slower open string riffs as well as a small amount of acoustic guitar that uses open chords, as for the lead guitars while the lead guitars are very melodic and heavy that mix influences from both the first and second wave of black metal.

Vocals are all high pitched black metal screams and on the last song they use first wave black/thrash screams, while the lyrics are very anti christian and hateful with a dose of Satanism, as for the production on this recording it has a very raw but professional feel.

In my personal opinion Infernus are a very good U.S.B.M band that sounds more Swedish than American and if you are a fan of Swedish black metal in the 90's vein, you should check this band out. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "War In The Vatican" "Witching Sanctum" and "Anti Christian Artillery". RECOMMENDED BUY.

  1. Well holy shit. I was trying to masturbate when I got shot this bands tunes. Not trying to be a total asshole, I was compelled to give it at least some attention, albeit the midget porn was really getting my rocks to boil. I have to say The strong pulsing drums and keyboards and melody kind of distracted me from my masturbation the overall smash you in the face pace of these tunes with the slow down to go melodic made me want to finger my wife's ass. And abandon my nightly perversions. This is the band that will grab you by the balls and finger fuck you to submitting. Keep up the fight you Scandinavian bustards your tunes keep us Americans hard. Overall fucking excellent! I recommend this tune to anyone who likes hard core sex and fisting!
