Cultes Des Ghoules

Häxan, 2008 Spectres Over Transylvania, 2011 The end is near! Bring out your dead! 2012 it is. Let's start with cannibal black metal from Poland. I must admit I bought these albums solely because of the superior moniker and because the single-sided 12" Spectres Over Transylvania looks awesome, without having heard one second of the music. And this was a very satisfying black metal blind date: for those into Mayhem's De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and the ugliest of Darkthrone, doctor Satan recommends large doses of Cultes Des Ghoules and their raw and putrid and grim and gloom and crawling lo-fi black metal delivered in extra long songs with a lot of class. The don't reinvent the sharpened flint, they use big ones to harvest your meat for the sacrifice to the monolith and you will cry for more. So much that Spectres is one of my favorites 2011 releases, ah yes I almost forgot the Church Of Zer top 2011: Old Head, Brutal Truth, Bulldozer, Vektor, JaKa, Attitude Adjustment, Origin, Zeni Geva, Saxon, Artillery, Articles Of Faith and so on. Rah Jah! CD rip (Häxan) & 12" rip (Spectres, with the tag, yes). Buy the CD! Buy the 12"!
