Two reviews for the "Misanthropic Antichrist" demo
Below are two mixed reviews.
Red colored fonts are personal comments.
Consider the second one (forgotten path.lt) as a mini-review.
It is something that someone would write within 5 minutes. Allover, quite useless.

"This album presents raw and harsh Black Metal... devoted to the first era of Bathory...
and maybe will remind you of bands like Sarcofago in their first work or Von in their old demos."
"The riffs are the typical tremolo, dirty and absolutely repetitive.
The rhythm mainly is fast while there are also some slow atmospheric passages or fast outbursts."
"The production has put out a dirty and bass sound...
it gives a heavy and solid character to the compositions and it fits to the style of the tracks."
"The guitars have a dirty sound, they don’t have any mistakes and they deliver the riffs with quite a lot of passion."
"The vocals are harsh, crude vocals... they are absolutely monotonous."
"About the lyrics: Their content is blasphemous, antichristian and misanthropic."
"It seems that its worship to the old, traditional, barbarian Black Metal sound."
"I don’t think that we need to listen to any of their future releases."
➝ I wonder which community he is speaking for... the whole Black Metal scene? Maybe some secret circle?
"Maybe some fans should stay fans and don’t become creators."
➝ Maybe some fans should stay fans and don't become reviewers.
I suggest you to avoid this album."
➝ If you are a wimp, yes, you better avoid it then.
"It is enough to see the album’s title and it becomes obvious that the music is built
with the standard Black Metal stencils and even stereotypes (in both music and ideas)."
"The demo begins and ends with an intro and outro with cold Ambient compositions,
which was very popular in the good old times."
"Between them there are four primitive tracks dominated by anger, speed and chaos.
The author is obviously a fan of Darkthrone."
"The biggest plus of the demo is its release on physical CD format. Done simple, but impressive."
"I’d say Albtraum should sit down to create for a while and to find balance in its own way.
Otherwise nothing good can be expected."
➝ Receive a grateful answer to this: The mighty middle finger.
Regarding the demo:
A ugly and raw 80's/early 90's Black Metal sounding record was the aim,
and it succeeded. The reviews proof it once more. Hail to true Black Metal!
Regarding the reviews:
An important core element of Black Metal: Don't give a fuck about other peoples opinion.
Don't like it? Go away! This is real Black Metal. No main stream shit!
Independent music, for independent thinking people, who dont want to be a part of the sick society!
