Ok, one more slab of blackened extremes before I go into a bit more quiet mode. After all, I am down with the flu and high volume extreme music isn't helping in easing the headache. But, for the sake of journalistic integrity, I'd really like to recommend this little piece of evil music. Prepare for twenty-seven minutes of pain, despair, desolation and brutality.
Drama is a Russian band, formed early this century. For this split, they delivered two tracks, both firmly rooted in black metal but still looking forward. 'Create Your Death' and 'Gloria Mortis' are quite complex, pretty harsh and highly immersive pieces of music, showing a melodic side to black metal, which is very welcome. I guess you can place these guys somewhere between Opeth, Primordial and Altar Of Plagues, to name a few. Nonetheless, these are great songs.
Finnish horde Perdition Winds does things a bit different. True, is also black metal, but in a noisy raw, harsh and gritty form, clearly rooted in the old school version and seemingly influenced by punk. They delivered one song, a thirteen minutes lasting epos of bleakness. To keep such a long song interesting, you have to come up with some variation and in that, Perdition Winds certainly succeed, yet, it still is a raging monster of a song.
