Blau Blut – Cockaigne [Demo]

blau blut – cockaigne [demo]

Info

Blau Blut is a new band made up of musicians from several countries, including Sweden, Austria and Slovakia. This international company, in which we recognise at least MBN (of Chevallier Skrog among others and owner of Pant Y Meddygon), comes up with this first demo tape.

After the synth intro, it bursts into Raw Black Metal laced with understated Eastern European Folk melodies. But the synths also continue to play an important role in atmosphere that pulls throughout the demo. Furthermore, it’s the bareboned riffs and minimalist sound that manage to evoke an extremely authentic atmosphere. But unlike some other Pant Y Meddygon releases, Blau Blut is clearly a bit more conservative in sound and overall approach to the Black Metal genre. As such, this is definitely recommended for fans of Black Metal who also have a soft spot for the demo phase of bands that were exploring the boundaries and possibilities of the genre around the mid-1990s.

For those who happen to be interested, this demo, which incidentally lasts only a little over 10 minutes, has been issued in only about 20 copies as is now customary with Pant Y Meddygon releases and appears on recycled tapes. It was sold-out upon release, but it is still streaming on the label’s Bandcamp page.
