Infernal Poetry is a band from Ancona, Italy,
that was formed in 1996 under the name Necronomicon (original name, isn't
it?). They recorded a couple of demos before finally getting a deal with the
native label Fuel Records who released this debut album of their's last year.
Infernal Poetry combine harsh black metal vocals with melodic yet brutal death
metal and an almost Opeth-esque atmosphere at times. The band sounds pretty
mature and with competent song writing they have found themselves quite a
number of fans throughout the world. This also resulted in a European tour
together with Impiety, Decayed and Abigal in the year 2000. There are indeed
some interesting music presented on this album but unfortunately it isn't
very original and the vocals tend to be below average. Their sound is quite
typical of melodic black metal bands from the Southern part of Europe these
days and even if they tend to use influences from other genres to a higher
extent and are good at what they do it gets rather boring in the end. I
appreciate their more atmospheric passages though such as the intro and this
is what they should keep developing if they want to grow on an international
level. Thumbs up for the lyrics as well. A decent quality release that some of
you will probably enjoy more than I did, especially if you like Ephel Duath
and their followers.
