LEVIATHAN: MASSIVE CONSPIRACY AGAINST ALL LIFE (2008)

米国

不穏なイントロから始まる一番から壮絶です。まずノイジーで歪んだ気持ち悪いリフを聴いて思ったのが
以前までのような鬱というよりはフレンチブラックっぽい荘厳さが放たれているということ。
ヴォーカルはエフェクトかけたような病んだ声でギャアギャアがなる。そんなわけで今までのＬＥＶＩＡＴＨＡＮとは少し毛色が違うが、ＷＲＥＳＴ氏の病んだヴォーカルが好きならば前作と同様に楽しめるかと。
I liked Leviathan before, but this time he used real drums. I would really like to support more of these onemanblackmetalbands but they need to hang up the drum machine habit, it's retarding. Drum machines are inappropriate for the vast majority of music (feel free to disagree, Europe, continent of twats) and even when acceptable, still, using samples of real drums is usually much, much better. Use of drum machines is something to be forgiven, if the band is worthy, few are. Seriously, when I got this record it was all I could listen to for like, three weeks, maybe. I even taped it so I could play it in my walkman while I went shopping for a comforter. Best black metal record of 2008 is a tie between this and Nahvalr, both of which are forging new territory for the genre. I sounded totally pompous just there, "forging new territory for the genre" and shit. It could have been worse, I could have wrote "sonic" or "aural" territory. Those slags at Pitchfork write like that. Fuck them.
