Camulos is a project
made up of two men calling themselves Zorrn (drums) and Nazgul (vocals,
guitars, bass). Hailing from Germany they have also decided that the German
language should be used in their lyrics which, in combination with their black
metal based music, will not help them get a good reputation in the metal
scene. Somehow I don't think that a good reputation is what the band is
looking for considering their song titles and reference to the controversial
but still respected German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Musically Camulos
perform a mixture of black and death metal with a high density of melodies.
Camulos was a celtic war god and since their label supports war, hate and
violence I guess they have come to the right place. Band references like
Darkthrone, Sacramentum, Dark Funeral and Thyrfing come up while listening to
this album but still they don't sound like any of them. The first couple of
songs are quite nice but overall the music is a little bit too basic and
generic to fully appeal to me. The guys are decent musicians and the
production is very good for an underground label but that is not enough these
days to make it to the top of the iceberg. My favorite war hymn would probably
be "Der Krieg Beginnt" which reminds me a lot of
Marduk.
