Apparently, some
people were pissed that Immortal
slowed down some on their last album, so they cranked back
up for Damned in Black.
Well, I haven't heard enough of their older work to
comment much, but taking Damned
in Black on its own merits, I think they must have
done a good thing.
From start to finish, the fucker just rips. The album
starts out with an old-school thrash riff and quickly
digresses into something somewhere between De
Mysteriis and IX
Equilibrium. By that, I mean it has some of that
old Mayhem chill, but with
a modern quickness to the production, a'la latter-day Emperor.
And, I could be crazy, but am I the only one getting some
old, old Kreator kinda
vibes from these songs?
All in all, this won't be the best record of their career
or the one they're remembered for, but it's a damn lot of
fun.
