Belgium is a country with a strong underground scene as it
comes to extreme metal but there are also a couple of bands who have gained
worldwide attention. The most famous band is probably Ancient Rites but
Enthroned should not be forgotten either. Enthroned actually released a 7"
split EP together with Ancient Rites in 1994 on the soon defunct Afterdark
Records. Now we are in the year 2001 and a new album is released from the
band. "Armoured Bestial Hell" shows more diversity than the previous efforts
from Enthroned and apart from the usual speed and aggression this time they
have also included a few slower, more melodic passages which sound, if not
extremely beautiful, so at least nice enough. This is one of those bands who
have stuck to the old black metal style without the keyboards and female
vocals of so many other bands today. They sound a bit similar to the
well-known Swedish band Marduk although they might not be playing quite as
fast as them and they also have more death metal influences. This is fairly
well done black metal in the old vein but still it doesn't really bring about
anything new.
