Highspeed.
Black Metal mixed with atmospheric parts and some keyboard gimmicks,
most of the time in the background is offered by German one man
project WINTERTHRONE. This CD is perfect for
a long frosty evening in winter. The atmosphere created by the
seven songs is ice-cold and lets the temperature fall further
under zero degrees! The artist treats with feelings like hate,
fury and desperation, the morbid prevailing mood is strengthened
by the use of a drum machine, but the clangour and rattling gets
on my nerves after a few minutes.
It was also
difficult to listen to similar sounding Limbonic Art, a fan needed
a long time to get in touch with the music before one could imagine
the musical deepness and fascination. It could be the same with
Against All Who Breathe, fans of the
band mentioned above could discover an interesting album.
I am happy
with songs like Loss which is quite sluggish in comparison
to the other tracks and so I can partly enjoy WINTERTHRONE’s
music. The target group are obviously the fans of Darkthrone and
similar bands. All other listeners, who like to hear all instruments
clearly should stay away from Against All Who Breathe!
