ON-STAGE APOCALYPSE !!!!,
By
This review is from: Tsjuder: Norwegian Apocalypse - Oslo vs. Sandness (DVD)
Man what a great dvd. One might tend to think Gorgoroth, Immortal or Satyricon are the kings of ¨true¨ norwegian black metal, but these guys are really serious contenders to the title !! This is a HELL of a brutal black metal gig, filmed totally live and without overdubs, fact that is stated on the box and corroborated the instant you hit the play button.Performance is incredibly intense and dynamic despite the fact that all of the trio remains still in place during the entirety of the gig, which clocks in at a little under an hour. The bass player plays a very audibly 4-string bass; not exactly the trend nowadays,and sings good backing vocals.The guitarrist doubles as second vocalist and his voice has an effective raspy, baritone quality to it; no growls or shrieks like in other black metal bands. His playing is good, with ocassional conventional heavy metal riffs and solos, which not only don't detract from the atmosphere but adds to the excitement since these are not usual ocurrences in this kind of music either. The drummer plays the usual racous, chaotic reach-for-every-possible-can rolls and totally masters the double bass drums, which is constantly highlighted by takes of his feet actuating the pedals, COOL !!! The sound, on the other hand, is very good if not excellent with a certain rawness to it; I could have used a little more bottom end and a treblier, more aggro guitar tone but the whole thing strikes as nothing short of superb. Lighting is mega-coloured with unusual lots of kind of fluorescent red and green, with a cool black-and-white ¨bad picture¨ effect on the sludgier parts. Camerawork is generally a chaotic, 1000 mph affaire, except when it counts, that is to say on the fretboards, even featuring shots from an overhead cam attached to the tip of the guitar neck. The pic is crystal-clear widescreen and the sound is 5.1 only, no 2.0 option, prolly to make it fit a single-layer dvd. The only bonus track is the best I could have hoped for : a circa half an hour gig filmed at a small club in Oslo with 2 cameras and rawer but nonetheless demolishing sound, different from the main feature but equally enjoyable. I got the unbelievably cool tin-can edition for the price of the regular one, which I only can explain from the fact that the special packaging came with the first 1000 dvds or so and not many were sold since it came out in this country. An incredible addition to the colection of any fan of brutal black metal.
