1.0 out of 5 stars doomed by another line up change, January 13, 2002

basically we have mediocre musicianship and HORRIBLE vocals. dont get me wrong, the black/death vocals are fine....but the whispering in "so called savior" drains every ounce of power and credibility out of this track; just when you think, ok, it cant get any worse.....the spoken word vocals hit you. i didnt know it was possible to mess up spoken word parts, but ive been proven wrong. dark requiems (and previous to that)are really good albums. dark requiems is one of my favorites. jon's vocal delivery and variations help make dark... an incredible black metal masterpiece....

This review is from: Miasma (Audio CD)

After hearing HE's garage-like rendition of "Altar of Sacrifice" on the Slayer tribute CD, I figured they'd be pretty good - lo-fi black metal with extremely high vocals. Unfortunately, there's hardly any of that on this CD. As mentioned in the other review, the spoken word parts are ATROCIOUS. completely kills the mood. they have some good riffing, but the drumming seems to be off at times. the keyboards sound like a yamaha synth that a teenager bought and screwed around with while listening to cradle of filth. extremely loud in the mix, and not very "dark."

I'm really not sure what HE was trying to accomplish with this mini-album. Experimentation, perhaps? Hopefully their other albums are better. If you are into weird black metal that most people think sucks, and I'm not talking about Ulver or Sarcafago, then you might like this. But if you like well-done black metal in the vein of Dark Funeral and Dimmu Borgir - don't waste your money! Go pick up "Diabolis Interium" instead :)
