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.
