INFESTUS - Chroniken des Ablebens
Franang.sts.free.fr

"Chroniken Des Ablebens" displays an ethearal vison of Black Metal, walking on the depressive side of this musical range through lugubrious atmpsoheric B.M compositions. This is a travel through inconsciousness and insidious mind, unveiled by the darkest melodies and hunting chant ripping the night. The 7 tracks from this German band are obviously a great work of nightmare as the compositions are solid and crushing. The band uses a lot the atmospheric side in their materials with "traditional" Metal instruments. Many parts in this record will bring you images of Deinonychus or even the early Katatonia's stuff both through the mid tempos interludes and the hight pitched screams. Thence a song such as "Entering Eternal Oblivion" might trouble you as this is established as a Deinonychus tune, without being a total copycat. Acutally, this special touch increases a lot the interest of this release, as few band can compete with the song writing quality of Infestus, and vocal grieves droped in each bleak part.
