Arkhon Infaustus are a band from France that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording played a satanic and bestial mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 1998 ep "In Sperma Inferna" which was re-issued in 2021 by Impure Wedding Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording. High pitched black metal screams are also utilized quite a bit throughout the tracks along with the vocals also mixing in a good amount of bestial death metal growls.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking, blast beats and war metal elements can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as one track also adding in a brief use of horror movie style keyboards but keeping the main focus on a heavier style and as the ep progresses a small amount of dark sounding melodies can also be heard.
On this recording Arkhon Infaustus brought in a very raw and satanic mixture of war, black and death metal as well as being mostly focused on the blackened side of the style back in the earlier days. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Blasphemy, Sexual Perversions and Depravity themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Arkhon Ifaustus and if you are a fan of raw, old school. satanic, bestial, war black and death metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Machiavellian Knights" and "The Black Succubus Whores". 8 out of 10.
