4.0 out of 5 stars Havohej is the most raw and nihilistic music ever, March 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dethrone the Son of God (Audio CD)

Havohej is known more for the a cappella gravel-throat blasphemy that closes this album than the triad of nihilistic model metal that opens it, but the musical contributions of this primitive and violent music must not be overlooked. It breaks metal down to modal structures shifting between tone centers along the fretboard, creating harmony from similarity and melody from proximity. This nihilism makes for stunningly basic and deconstructive music, which is their aim as artists and political thinkers: to tear down the centralized structure of human control.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pure primal blasphemous black metal, July 2, 2011

death metal and black metal "death metal and ... (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dethrone the Son of God (Audio CD)

Paul Ledney, the primary composer on this CD, spent some years in INCANTATION and REVENANT trying to make the ideal of music to him: stripping of all meaning, pure nihilism and primal id expressed through sonic violence.

On this CD, he came close. In the vein of early BLASPHEMY or BEHERIT, this is primitive chromatic riffing with unusual, almost hasty song structures, using his odd method of picking three-note "modal stripes" and repeating them at different positions in the chromatic scale.

Surrounding this are the cavernous vocals of Ledney himself, which like a whisper made into a roar surge around the music, carrying it like a rhythm instrument of deviant intent.

Sounding very much like the results of a weekend of apostate demons camping in the countryside and, in the midst of their blasphemy, picking up guitars to make unholy music, "Dethrone the Son of God" exemplifies the feral and nihilistic spirit of black metal.
