Akercocke - Choronzon

Third album of UK death metal band Akercocke. Never heard of them before but this album will change it. Their blend of metal is cover with a layer of occult and satanic eroticism. The music is various and going from fanatic evil blast beats (I like very much the drumming) to terrifying interludes. To avoid the dullness in the songs they also have slower, sinsiter parts. Vocals can go very deep and gutteral or more black metal screamish and so fits the songs perfectly. Musically they have the skills to sound heavy and extremly fast. Concluding that this album completly surprised me and think most will be blown away. Recommended.
