| Absolute Ferocious Barbarism from holland, it's not a coincidence that the most relentless music comes from the same tribe of Northmen phenotypes - Review:
- Review wrote:
- The second full-length from Dutch brutal death metallers Brutus comes off as one of the most ferocious and unrelenting examples of the genre despite the decade-plus absence by the band. Utterly filled with tight, utterly raging tempos and full-throttle paces here, this is much more of a speed-driven brutal death metal offering ferocious riff-patterns that are truly demonic and feral as the unrelenting nature of the material comes out in full-force to make this an exceptionally explosive blast. Firing off explosive rhythm work here with technically-complex riffing and furious razor-wire patterns,it merely completes the more furious and blasting-heavy style on display with this one not only being so fast and savage in it’s tempos but also managing to incorporate enough precision-filled dynamics into the songwriting to keep things interesting beyond just the formulaic barbarian punishment doled out here. Also managing to feature just feral drumming and savage inhuman growling into the mixture, this manages to become quite an enjoyable effort. Right off the bat, though, one does manage to come across one of the album’s few weak points as there’s the feeling here that too much material is packed onto this release. This is especially true with several of the short, brief instrumentals on here that do tend to run this along to the point of overload by getting a breather in on a style of music that by definition really shouldn’t offer one. Likewise, for redundancy sake there’s no need to have this many original songs on the record at all either since the second half bleeds together with so much infernal blasting and guttural growling that it all starts to feel too samey-sounding to really get the full-impact of its’ intended mission, yet each of these effort only ends ups hindering this one slightly.
The first half is a solid representation of what to expect here. Instrumental intro ‘Prematuur’ features a crazed swirling guitar riff and distorted rhythms slowly leads into proper first track ‘Judaswieg’ features unrelenting pounding drumming, frantic rhythms and frenetic razor-wire riffing filled with tight patterns racing along the utterly chaotic tempos filled with plenty of ravenous change-overs and full-throttle blasting that carries into the final half that makes for a truly blistering and brutal opening shot. ‘Vernederd’ utilizes vicious razor-wire riff-work and tight rhythmic drumming to pound along at a savage mid-tempo charge as the tight guitar-work and blasting drumming continually bring the dynamic start/stop choppy patterns into the raging finale for another full-on blasting charge. ‘Lijdensweg’ opens with blasting drum-work and furious riff-work that work along through the twisting, technical patterns with the furious tempos taking the raging rhythms marching along with plenty of high-speed riff-work plowing alongside the maniacal drum-blasts howling along into the final half which makes for another strong highlight. ‘Vrouwenhaat’ utilizes utterly ferocious brutal blasting and dynamic rhythmic work with the furious guitars and twisting technical razor-wire riffing bringing along the choppy, chaotic rhythm blasting along in the finale for an enjoyable if not altogether essential track. The interlude ‘Kentering’ is a brief wall of distorted noise leading into the ferocious ‘Verbolgen’ which uses choppy rhythms, furious drumming and dexterous razor-wire patterns that continually plow through the utterly crazed blasting drumming with the swirling riff-work bringing along plenty of fiery rhythms as the dynamic patterns continually move through the crazed final half for one of the album’s overall highlights. ‘Gruweldaad’ slowly works up from the twisting technical patterns through the ravenous tempos with the tight, frantic blasting and swirling razor-wire riffing carrying the main rhythms along with plenty of savage patterns amid the choppy drumming with the savage patterns continuing on through the finale for another strong offering.
The second half is a little more of the same here but does contain some overly-familiar ideas. ‘Rubensvrouw’ utilizes choppy patterns alongside blasting drumming with the razor-wire riffs continuing through the frenetic, chaotic patterns alongside the utterly frantic drumming blasts and the furious, frantic riff-work dripping with blazing technically-precise rhythms into the charging final half for a strong overall effort. ‘Vulvanus’ offers bulging blistering riff-work and furious rhythms merging alongside the swirling patterns with the pounding drumming charging along with the up-tempo riff-work full of charging patterns and furious accents weaving throughout the chaotic patterns continually charging along into the finale for a dynamic if slightly overlong blast of feral material. The next instrumental breather ‘Achterdocht’ takes sampled cinematic howling winds and breathing before turning into a simple churning riff leading into ‘Geestesziek’ as the swirling riff-work and pounding drumming sound collide into a blast of swirling razor-wire patterns charging along at a furious mid-tempo pace with the furious drumming and intense riffing blistering through the charging and furious final half for another impressive effort. The title track features raging riff-work and tight drumming blasting through the furious, twisting rhythms pounding along as the fiery riffing continually blasts through the frenetic tempos with the extended mid-section breakdown leaving the dynamic bludgeoning rhythms blasting along into the finale for an overall enjoyable effort. ‘Synopsis’ features tight, utterly ferocious rhythms raging along through the choppy patterns with the plentiful drum-blasts blasting through with furious intensity charging along with bestial riffing churning along with the dynamic choppy rhythms continuing on through the final half in another overall strong track. ‘Teloorgang’ uses utterly raging razor-wire riffing and pounding drumming blasting along with furious intensity as the charging riffs weave through technically-complex razor-wire patterns alongside the furious drumming rhythms flowing alongside the rampaging guitar-work into the frenetic finale for a blistering and intense effort. Lastly, album closer ‘Ter ziele’ features sampled sounds and rather intense collages of distorted noise that works it’s way along quite nicely with the effect of leaving the madness behind that serves as the perfect ending note here.
Overall this is a certainly enjoyable enough release that does serve a more fitting epitaph for their fallen friend which is certainly respectable enough here though taken as a more traditional release it’s certainly lacking at times. It’s not enough to make this an all-over skip or a pass, especially for fans of maniacally-brutal and up-tempo death metal who are for sure the intended targets here, but the legacy does overshadow the music to a point.

| 1998.... interesting reference to the gnostic beliefs Arghoslent lyrics brings me to tears, they are so beautiful, might and glory of the ancients - lyrics wrote:
- Upon these vile remains of Christ
I hold the lance that pierced the fool
His true meaning withheld in a shroud of lies
Recite nine times the antique rite
His majestic hands
Poised before the weeping Jew
Unto the veil of sin...
A fine of gold to those who fall
Transfix the lamb to hail my king
Equal sons in benevolent rule
All sprang forth from the well of life
Up from the primordial swamps of one million years ago
Unto the highest mountain peaks with all life spread below
A vision of all the world
With it's nations and races and tribes
The mosaic of human life with some not meant to sanctify
Trails of ancestors past, foretell of a destiny
Forgotten words and archetypes, the laws by which we see
Defile the angelic...
We march to divinity with our destiny in our wings
Over desolate lands of earth and sand where the chosen Jews were raised
Praise thee, hymns of archaic lore foretell of a time to be
Evolving forth into the light, forging a new destiny
Through ice and through snow, though darkness and light,
The ferocity of the struggle attests to the might
Defile the angelic...
A vibrant force greets the dark
The end-time battles commence
Blood she'd in a great cleansing flow
The banner of tradition and order stands proud once again... |

| ^ Good stuff, powerful lyrics in those mongol songs This was one of the songs that made me think metal as limitless genre, maybe in 2006 first time? I only listened electronic music until I was 15-16, I knew all the sub-genres of electronic music, I could distinc what's actual techno and trance etc, yet I can't stand it anymore.... I think it's a solo project of one man from England |

- The Words of the Forest-King on the Eve of the Nexus:
I am the immortal King of the Deep Woods
Servitor of the Old Gods of the Forest...
I hear the whispered words of the trees...
Such ancient secrets they sing...
Swaying serpents ring my oak-hewn throne
Night and shadow are my hunting dogs...
Ravenous, they howl to be unshackled
That their maws may be glutted with the blood of my foes
Raven's claw... tooth of the wolf
Ancient trees my brooding sentinels
Gnarled branches clawing the nighted heavens
Spirits who dwell in shadow, unfurl thy darkling wings...
Awaken, o' elder creatures of this sylvan realm
Stalk once more this ebon-cloaked eve
I hear the whispered words of the trees
Such ancient secrets they sing...
I stand now at the anvil
Adamantine hammer in my hand
In thunder-song the steel I smite
A clarion heard throughout this land
(Yawning wide beneath me...) the jaws of the worm...
(hearken, the spell is woven...) the call of the worm...
Raven's claw... tooth of the wolf
Ablaze upon the Altar of Stone
The Sigil of An-rayuth, the summoning!
Folk of the Mist, Dwellers in Shadow
The thrice-blessed wand of the Wood-Gods is beckoning!
At the aeon-swathed Shrine of the Oak I kneel
O' Oracle of the Great Forest, hear me this night...
The Sylvan Oracle Speaks:
The gods of the earth and sky are watching, the circle is nigh on
Complete... the nexus is at hand. But hearken... for a new enemy approaches
From the east... an enemy who hide their poisoned blades behind words of
Falsehood sweetened with the ichors of carrion, to bind men's minds with
Fetters of deceit. Speak now, o' Liege of the Deep Woods, Master of
Darkenhold, and the enemy shall hear you...
The Forest-King:
Yes... I behold now the face of the encroaching foe... Hear my oath! You
Clad in gleaming robes of sparkling saffron, engorged with the mindless
Adoration of countless thralls who bend the knee in flaccid obeisance...
'neath thine vestments hides the ra nk stench of leprous corruption! Bring not
Thine cursed icons into my ancient realm... your words of untruth shall not be
Heard here! My steel is honed and thirsting for your life-ichors... aye, and
With my dying breath I'll spit defiance in your face!
Upon my great throne hewn of ancient oak I brood...
My mantle, the leaves stirred by the whispering of the winds
The elder gods of the Deep Woods gaze grimly down upon me...
My blood courses through the trees and the earth...
And I watch in silence, ebon-eyed and raven-winged
From every bough of my kingdom...
The Lament of the Trees:
Can you not remember? Have you forgotten the magic?
Sing to us your spells once more, and the ancient forest shall dance to your
Words...
The Forest-King:
I stand now at the anvil
Adamantine hammer in my hand
In thunder-song the steel I smite
A clarion heard throughout this land
Can you not see the coils of the worm all about you?
Can you not hear the writhing of the worm beneath you?
Can you not scent the breath of the worm riding the wind?
Can you not touch the skin of the worm in all that surrounds you?
Can you not taste the ichors of the worm upon your tongue?
Do dreams of the worm not haunt your slumber?
The Forest-King:
I hear the whispered words of the trees
Such ancient secrets they sing... |

| - Lyrics:
In the den of the avalanche dragon
With the bores exacting vengeance
Where the sky sees all, hears all and crushes all
To the sky a whisper sounds like thunder
And a silent canyon can roar, anarchy
Of the filth of the filth all hope can perish
Beyond the feeble mercy of the six thieves
No warmth can survive the perilous abyss
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
On the edge of the unicorn, precipice
Bone piercing star radiating winter
The north is the direction of sudden death
Where the forces align in the keep of chaos
Where a frozen guillotine beheads with ice
And the maelstrom tears and sunders all life
A sheet of pristine snow suffocates
You will lie in the coldest graveyard on earth
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
Suffer chaos, suffer chaos, suffer
When the world is self destructing
All that matters blown away
Feel majestic, crushing blue cloud
All the hope just swept away
Fear the force before beginnings
One that lives to devastate, devastate
When the world is self destructing
All that matters blown away
Feel majestic, crushing blue cloud
All the hope just swept away
Fear the force before beginnings
One that lives to devastate, devastate

- I was...
I am...
and will, forever be...
Reflections of time that once was
And time that will carry all on...
Parallels dimensions cross within me.
I reflect...
The eye opens wide my visions of omnipotence and understanding
Falling into and out of existence,
As light surrounds my soul.
I see the pain of innocence and the guilt of sin
Billions of aeons joined together through me
To recreate matter
And bring forth solitude to my elite
Follow my light
And we will
All is as one.
To learn from the past
And give to the future
A perfect concept
Will bring your energies to me
Pain and pleasure redefined
Anger and forgiveness no longer disported
All questions answered
All symbols of life removed
To better serve my purpose.
And so I am.
Reflection of Emotion will
Manifest into the existence of my infinity...
Life after life. |
