Great Black Metal

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A great Black Metal album. These guys come from the country that gave birth to such bands like Sarcofago, Krisiun, Sepultura and more... But none of those bands played Black Metal. This is truly a masterpiece. Fast, extreme, breath-taking and soul ripping black metal agression... I think they sound like a mix of Emperor, Dimmu Borgir and Dark Funeral... They have fast melodies, amazing blastbeats, some great keyboards in the background, chaotic vocals (sometimes very grim and screamed, alot like Ihsahn's vocals, and sometimes more guttural and growled). Simply an amazing job by this great band. I recomend this album to anyone willing to know great Black Metal that is not from Europe. Since lately, most european bands are sounding predictable and the same, or simply throwing all their great work to the trash by releasing crappy techno-ish albums, Unearthly definetely shows us that in other parts of this world, Black Metal is still the greatest music style."
