Kommandant - Stormlegion
This is the first full length album of this Chicago based Black Metal outfit. They already released a demo called “Iron hands of Scandinvia” back in 2006. Their style is very raw Black Metal with a strong Thrash Metal influence, which fits the clear production pretty good. The songs have quite variable drum work that ranges from D-Beat brutality to ultra fast Black Metal mayhem. Cold and eerie riffs as well as the pissed-off and angry vocals create a real dark atmosphere that is easily comparable with Cadaver Inc. or the Swedish allstar band War. Each song offers various killer riffs and tempo changes to make sure , that no one gets bored listening to “Stormlegion”. But please don´t expect any epic stuff on this release: this is pure aggression combined with effective extremity and furious war-infested eruptions. Get your copy if you like Deströyer 666, Exmortem, Aura Noir or similar acts. This solid Black / Thrash Metal attack is also recommended, if you want to take a look at the depths of the American Extreme Metal underground and its members.
