5.0 out of 5 stars Aggressive And Cold Black Metal, July 28, 2003

This review is from: Cut Your Flesh & Worship Satan (Audio CD)

After three spectacular demos (and the loss of frontman Piat (a.k.a. Antaeus), whom gave the name to the band) it was about time to release full length number one! Antaeus's 'Cut Your Flesh and Worship Satan' is a breath of fresh air in a genre that has since begun to die (well, at least the origins are being ignored). By molding brooding and hash aggressive black metal riffs and vocals with the coldness of Nordic black metal Antaeus have crafted extreme metal anthems for a new generation of followers. Why do I speak so highly of this achievement? Well there is a major lack of true black metal bands (i.e. legends like Burzum and Carpathian Forest), but sadly an abundence of pop-black metal bulls hit (i.e. Cradle of Filth, specifically their new album). MkM vocals are perfectly scretched, one of the best black metal vocalists right now! The dual guitars by Set and Thorgon absolutely shred. The pounding of Sagoth's bass and Storm's drums (and who also does the flawless sampling) gives one the feeling like their head is going to explode! The grim production of this album is another aspect of black metal that seems to have been long forgotten. The raw sound gives the appropriate atmosphere of this record. Standout tracks are, well, all of them. Every single track is worth checking out (my personal favorites being "Bleeding Blasphemy" and "Daemon"). I know you hear this a lot, but this album is a must have for black metal fans. Along with Godless North's 'Summon the Age of Supremacy' and Vorkreist's 'Sabbathacal Flesh Possession', Anateus's first full length is another great addition to your own personal black metal catalouge!

This review is from: Cut Your Flesh & Worship Satan (Audio CD)

Antaeus create a raging blur cloaked in fractured pauses and screamingly nihilistic riffing, and within this they place a dark and emotional melody. Songs direct instant statements of coherence. Thrashing and noise-infested music uses resonance like a Norwegian band but song structures and rhythms are borrowed from death metal or grindcore. Racing melodic guitars and insanely destroyed vocals accompany mechanistic drumming in the ensuing explosion of sound. Song dynamics are extreme with inner revolutions expanding to consume dogmatic structures. Riffs are motion oriented but mechanical and abrupt with more dissonant melody than American bands. Both subtle and confrontational emotions permeate this cryptic release of compiled EPs.

Antaeus is one of the most violent, raw, Blackmetal bands that hail from France. The speed and ferocity at which they play is unbelievable. This is no-nonsense,straight-up in your face BM that does not let up until the last song is over. The vocals range from shrieks to deathish, low growls, only heighten the listening experience. Definitely worth buying.
