For someone as lazy as I am, I love when reviews write themselves. So without any delay I'll start with a simple "What the fuck happened?"

Seriously, what happened? N.K.V.D.'s Diktatura EP gave a promise of great things to come and then some. Later on Vlast came along and it was, well? A blast. Yeah, not original but at least I don't need to. Vlast was so much in your face than even a pornstar would think it was too much. Hakmarrja on the other hand just drags on and on with songs that should just be intros. The tempo and structure of the songs barely change throughout the album. We went from unforgiving war to something inoffensive and monotonous like Battleship. Scratch that? At least that game involves violence since there's always a cheating asshole that gets rightfully beat up (fuck you, cousin).

Based on two tracks already posted, it can be said that they are changing a few things compared to debut. I do miss the thick darkness but cant really complain as the new material is not bad at all.

Also, not to forget the totally shitty cover art

Oddly enough I quite like the art. There seems to be some flagrant use of the "reduce noise" filter to the point where I'm actually impressed by it. The tracks though are so totally forgettable that I may not even check out the rest of the record.

Yeah, this band can go right back into the Catacombes de Paris it came from. There's far more interesting French black metal out there worth listening to than this trash.

Look again. The one that is here now is the REAL ONE. I've seen it everywhere. On their bandcamp, the cds and in the link I got for the review.

Hopefully one day N.K.V.D. will release a new album about some dictators from South America like Fujimori, general Videla, Pinochet or Chavez.
