What a fucking hellish ... um ... blasphemous name is that?*lol* Not only this name makes mad, the music too. And that my dear I mean in a positive way! Dunno what sort of connotations I got in my mind when I heard this name first time. Even when I thought about it intensively nothing better was coming out. Have you recovered from the name, the next shock is lurking around the corner while pressing the play button. The music is exceptional as well.
Founded in 1998 these 4 Erse mates present with Forging Iron Will their third self-financed demo. To put behind all possible and impossible musical influences has to be the manifested ambition. Just doing their own. That’s that. And these guys made it! HONEY FOR CHRIST offers a wild mixture of Thrash and Death metal with traditional singing. Doesn’t work? It works! Surely music and singing couldn’t be more contradictorily. But it harmonizes excellent.
Opener Forging Iron Will starts out as an absolutely Death crusher, goes back into groovy mid-tempo fields in between, just to end fast and intensive as it started. Movements Below The Surface gets prelude by a great solo and develops into a 7 minutes running and acoustic improved hymn. Just great! Here singer Jason also spends a few growls, but in general he doesn’t leave his usual singing traces. Closer The Heretic Hook kicks ass again badly. And above all Jason’s voice is waving.
This demo is damn fucking too short! But exceptional though. Unbelievable. Impressing. Finally something new. Probably not intentional but innovative as well. So, you freaks out there pretending being open minded: check out HFC!!!
