“Humanity is a disease… We are the cure”…
Nihilistic Black Metal is what they call it themselves, and personally I find this a pretty well-found entitlement: everything about this EP breathes forth a hate towards mankind and the destruction of life on earth. Raw and cruel riffs are being fired at you, accompanied by good high-speed drumming (especially concerning this drummer has only one hand).
Although Sauron is most of all a furious Black Metal band of which you don’t have to expect that they make use of female vocals or keys, they also throw in some ‘misanthropic’ and dramatic melody at times which throws over the mood of the song, not only blastbeats, but also nice up-tempo speeds and musically it also contains enough variation to keep it interesting. The use of a scream lead-vocal combined with a backing-grunt sounds pretty cool and is a nice addition to their music.
Still these guys aren’t in for most original band but they do bring you four tight played ferocious Black Metal tracks with a cold sphere around it which just sound pretty good and contain certain memorable parts.
If you’re into pure and aggressive Black Metal, check this one out for fl.15,- /Bfr.300/ Dm15/$8!
