Blood Upon The Altar
[ Vinyl ]

Blasphemy's latest release, "Blood Upon The Altar," is a brutal assault on the senses that will leave you questioning your very existence. From the opening track, 'Intro / Necrosadist,' it's clear that this Canadian band is not here to play nice. With its frenetic blast beats and guttural vocals, this album hits you like a sledgehammer to the face. The production on "Blood Upon The Altar" is raw and unpolished, giving the music a primal and visceral quality. The guitars sound like chainsaws cutting through bone, while the drums pummel you into submission. Tracks like 'Hording of Evil Vengeance' and 'Blasphemous Attack' showcase the band's ability to create a wall of sound that is both terrifying and exhilarating. Lyrically, Blasphemy leave nothing to the imagination. The themes of death, destruction, and blasphemy are front and center, with no room for subtlety or ambiguity. This is music for those who like their metal as dark and as brutal as possible. Overall, "Blood Upon The Altar" is a punishing listen that is not for the faint of heart. But for those willing to brave its onslaught, there are rewards to be found. Blasphemy may not reinvent the wheel with this album, but they do deliver a masterclass in savage, unrelenting black metal. Brace yourself, and prepare to be obliterated.
