REVIEW: Hades Almighty - The Pulse Of Decay Psycho Bitch Records, 2001
7.5/10
Hades Almighty - The Pulse Of Decay - cover art The first release from the newly founded German label Psycho Bitch Records is by a band probably already known to a lot of you, at least if you´re really into black metal. The fourth full-length album from Hades Almighty shows a band still able to evolve and be creative which is generally essential in order to survive in the over-crowded scene of today's world. Even though they might not sound exactly as before the music is of course still dark and ominous and this is a band staying true to their black metal roots for those of you who still care about that. The difference is that they have aimed at more melodic and catchy black metal tunes than the old-fashioned poundaway style which seems to work out quite well this time. Hades Almighty is a band comprised of three talented guys but the music gets a little repetitive sometimes which is a pity because I know they could do better than this, as proven by the nice speed riffing of the title track and the beautiful Vendetta Assasination. There are lots of new bestial creations rising on the black metal scene and they will have to be careful about not losing the race for the throne of darkness. 33 minutes is perhaps a little bit short for a full-length album but quality is of course the most important thing and Hades Almighty still possesses this.
