Celebratum is yet another Norwegian
black metal band who wants to compete with the old legends such as Darkthrone,
Burzum, Mayhem, Emperor and others. The band formed in 1996 but then playing
some kind of death / doom metal according to their own biography. Today they
definitely don't sound like My Dying Bride or whatever. Harsh, cold and
furious black metal is what they have chosen as their way of communicating
hatred and violence to the world. It sounds a little bit like a mix of Emperor
and Hypocrisy, only less atmospheric and epic than Emperor and more violent
and raw than Hypocrisy. You can still pretty easily tell from the sharp
production that it is a product of Tägtgren's Abyss Studio. Even though
the blast-beats and chaotic guitar work of violent black / death metal are
scattered all over this disc it is also very melodic at times and this variety
helps in making this album a little more accessible I guess. The grim demonic
vocals are well executed and overall Celebratum shows a very professional face
with this release even though it is their debut album. Nothing really new or
groundbreaking but furious Norwegian black metal with a slight modern
touch.
