NECRONOCLAST (Scot)
'Ashes'
MORIBUND RECORDS
Release Date : 22/02/2011
The cult is alive up on the Scottish highlands !? We really look forward to this - a rare Scots Black Metal band. The fact is, NECRONOCLAST already has 3 releases under MORIBUND RECORDS - 'The Plague' (2007), 'Monument' (2008 re-release) and 'Haven' (2008). As well as a couple of demo/EP earlier in 2004/2005.
One man band normally has its limitation, and we are a bit taken back as always. Since with have also experienced somes suprises earlier (especially those one-man assault under MORIBUND RECORDS) we would like to keep the expectation clearly open this time.
So, what did GREG EDWARDS (all) offered here ? The album centred on fast melodic Black Metal with depressive element. A bit complex structure-wise and cold & epic in some parts that would bring us closer to HELLVETO despite the Polish one man band is structurally more majestic, dynamic and heavy synth/keyboard oriented. But we find NECRONOCLAST is walking the simliar path (apparently in the tracks "Ashes" and "Kajicnicke Saty").
Credit need to be given to GREG EDWARDS nevertheless ! The album will appeal well to listeners who appreciate something innovative, more than just a straight forward Black Metal assault. Old goat bangers however would be dissapointed, they have to crawl back to the cave and headbang to the mighty PERVERSOR (Chi).
