And now: supplies for the advocates of the old, very true und pure Black Metal style. Nightwolf is the one-in-all-member of this project which obviously doesn’t have the purpose to win some golden LPs – not only because the CD is limited to 400 pieces. Luckily, the very boring intro is over soon, and then the storm breaks loose with Das Kreuz ist gefallen. Total rawness, sawing guitars and above all a voice so full of hate – I haven’t heard for a long time. That’s really good medicine for all the wounded true Black Metal souls. Then, acoustic sounds introduce the slow litany of hate that tells about the fight against the Kinderficker im Namen des Herrn (child violators in the name of the lord). For digestive, you get served Blasphemy, the only English title on this album, another high speed attack. Dornenkrone starts a bit more “accentuated”, before, after a short, slow breathing, infernal fury bursts out again. The guitar sound of the following title track is a little less rough than the rest (betrayal! sell-out!), but, to make it up, the drums nearly cannot be heard at all on this track. And then, Verrecke!!! is another delicacy for all enemies of unnecessary musical, lyrical or sound finesses.
I really have to criticize the drum sound on Perversion am Kreuz. But apart from that I like that extremely raw, primitive Black Metal – but not because of some persuasion, nor because I’d admired the (audible) uncompromising attitude of the responsible person, but simply because I like it. I hope, I got some new enemies now.
