Al Namrood – ‘Wala’at’ (Shaytan Productions)

Throughout his years of being a big music fan, David S has seen and heard a lot of bands that have claimed to be, and have shown to be, ballsy, controversial and/or daring. Whether it is through image, behaviour and attitude or through lyrics, the latter depending of course on the subject of the song or just the language used within the song. We have seen many controversial bands in some shape or form over the years. Al Namrood are one such band, though they take controversy and ballsy to a whole different level. Being an anti-Islamic black metal band from Saudi Arabia they put their lives on the line for their music.

For this album review we head to the darker, heavier side of the Überverse with the latest offering from Russian black metal band Vspolokh. For those who haven’t yet heard of the band, they are by no means new to the black metal scene. Hailing from the Ural Mountains in Russia, or “The Urals”, the band formed in 2004 and even though they have been around for 16 years, releases have been few and far between. This current album is only their second full length release, with their previous, ‘Sorrow Of The Past’ being a decade ago.

If one band truly can be described as “ground-breaking” and “innovative” it is perhaps Mordred, arguably the fore-fathers of the sound which later came to be popularized under the slightly derogatory term of “nu-metal”. We say “derogatory” because the sound which Mordred created, some 15 years before the nu-metal explosion, was truly new, as well as invigorating and undeserving of such passé pigeon-holing.
