|
|
|
| Same as Craig, really interested in this stuff. Looks hella good. |
|
|
|
| An extremely enjoyable/good album this |
|
|
|
| Surely will give it a listen. |
|
|
|
Damn my speaker is dead , can't listen to this now  
I've never enjoyed black metal in general , maybe 2 or 3 bands ... and I'm sure as hell they were not typical BM . but I'll give this a try , maybe it works as an eye-opener . |
|
|
|
| I would listen to them, but Manowar exploded my speakers, so I need to buy some new ones before jamming this. Sounds really good though. I was just about to listen to Marduk when I read this, and this sounds similar enough. |
|
|
|
I liked the Manowar joke.  |
|
|
|
| Will check this out on Monday for sure. |
|
|
|
| This is how you make people interested in an album. |
|
|
|
| Grim shit from Ukraine?? I m in. |

Your hometown just got 1000% more awesome, I guarantee you that. I (and some others) wouldn't call it Black Metal though. This feels like blackened death with some atmospheric twists here and there.
Fantastic album nevertheless. |

Seriously amazing. Yesterday, before going to bed, I decided to "test" this and listen to the first track, but I ended up listening to the first 6. This mixes my two favorite subgenres, death and atmospheric black. I also enjoyed the eerie sound samples, and I totally respect the band for their very thoughtful concept. This album exactly portrays Chernobyl. It's so astounding when such a young band kick off their career in such a destructive way. I only heard 9 albums from 2012, and Morok is the best amongst them(Alongside Faal's The Clouds Are Burning.)
Great review, Doc. Thanks a lot for promoting a monstrous masterpiece I wouldn't have known if not for your review. |

Well, this album's awesome. I'm going to buy it immediately.
Maybe the best black metal album of 2012, for me. |

I would say it's more death than black... Definitely an hybrid though. This is probably my favorite album of 2012. |

Yes, it has a great part of death but still I wouldn't call it blackened death metal. Anyways I was talking about the more direct and straightforward aproach in the music in general (genres-subgenres apart), which they deliver greatly. |

To me it's only the production that makes it sound "bm", the riffs and most of the vocals just scream death to me. |

the riff progressions are totally black metal and not death metal. And vocals do not define a genre. |

|
|
| This is more death than black. Riff progressions don't define a genre. The actual riffs are much more important, as well as the way the drums and guitars work together. Not to mention the frequent Dragged Into Sunlight-esque moments this record has. There are a couple of atmos-black tracks on this, the rest are predominantly death metal with heavy black laden moments and aesthetics. |

Marcel says A, Joe says B, so it's time for me to chip in and say the usual, namely, screw genres
But seriously, I would never ever think about this band as death metal. from the first listen months ago till the last listen a few days back, I've always heard black metal. |

hahaha no, but I know someone who reviews for Aardschok who does and used it as an example of how ridiculous it to say that no genres are needed
I HATE all modern R&B, so also Whitney Houston, my god what torture listening to that. |
|
|
|
| After a few more listenings: I eat my words this is blackened death. There are quite atmospheric black moments but overall is death metal with a slightly drowned production sound. |
