If your taste in Black Metal leans more towards the first wave than the second, or indeed the third, then Horns & Hooves might just have something for you with their debut album ‘I Am the Skel Messiah’.
Where musical primitiveness is celebrated through the inspiration of Venom, Bathory and Sodom, the lyrics are brimming with blasphemy, drugs, sodomy, and all sorts of sexual acts that hopefully didn’t feature during your loss of virginity…one would hope…Aficionados of punkish, sleazy, rockin’ first-wave Black Metal will no doubt voice their appreciation during the masses.
There are moments where faesces, semen, tears of sorrow, and the glorification of Satan converge; I present to thee ‘I am the Skel Messiah’.
