Review:

Written by Megiddo [Metal Archives]

Not very much information is available from this one man band from Belarus. Musically, this demo is akin to Burzum vocally while maintaining it's own identity. The lyrical delivery ranges from mid register black metal howls to mournful shrieks. The comparison to Burzum does not end with the vocal styling, as like the Count, Mr. Algkult also likes to use a variety of tempos. Most of the tracks on this demo range from mid tempo grim black metal to faster parts. Unlike the Count however, he develops the songs on this work quickly and efficiently, making an interesting and varied song in about 3-5 minutes in most cases. No time is wasted, no extraneous atmosphere is generated. This is an efficient black metal release from beginning to end that does not delve into the dark ambient or pagan metal genres. This serves to make the listener wish that there was more or that this was a full length release. I know I am beating the Grishnacht comparison to death, however this should not be viewed as a clone, but rather a point of reference. This work does not define a new genre or tread on completely new ground, however it stands by itself as an important, well written, and compelling black metal release. I strongly suggest that grim black metal and nsbm fans pick this up if they can find this. My only regret in listening to this is that this project no longer exists and that they never released a proper album! Sigh... I guess I will have to pick up the Sturm disc.
