Bestialized - Annihilating the Judeo-Christian Generations (2007)

   The debut of Bestialized is an excellent example of the most exaggerated manifestations of black metal. They didn't bother to follow any of the traditional lines of the genre, but their music carries features that are typically South-American.
   The intensity of their music may remind to Marduk, but this style, sound and compromiseless brutality refers to what Sarcófago did on the "Crust" EP. On the side of the noisy themes there are also thrash riffings to find occasionally that are like some old school touch. But that's all to mention if it's about catchier themes, the whole album is like a skull breaking blasphemous rampage. There isn't anything to find about the atmospheric effects or sizzling sound that are indispensable in Norwegian black metal, and even if their music is closer to black/death, they doesn't fit into that style either. Bestialized kept more from the sound of ordinary black, and their music is more diverse than the mostly repetitive noise-based black/death themes. Still this is not some new waved direction, just a very exaggearated one, and that's why it's a less known and less popular aspect of black metal. The album offers excellent entertainment for the fans of brutal musickness.
