Blasphemophagher - Nuclear Empire of Apocalypse (2008)

   The appearence of Blasphemophagher was another great example of the slowly increasing numbers of war metal bands. As it was mentioned before, this style knows no compromises, and it's able to show one of the most exaggerated aspects of musical extremity.
   The band's debut is an excellent piece of black/death insanity, endlessly raw, noisy and brutal. The mix of noise and intense speed introduces a new level of heavy sound. It's quite hard to fail in this style, if the musicians are able to keep on the speed and the aggressivity, and are necessarily sick in mind. Still, because of the purely aggressive emotionless approach, not many are able to value the whole thing, even though this might be the most autchenic representation of the concept of black metal. While black metal musicians and fans pointing on each other, who is responsible for making their genre mainstream, war metal keeps it's underground status probably forever. The music is worthy for it's title, "Nuclear Empire of Apocalypse" illustrates well the apocalyptic devastation that consumes all. On the side of the limitless brutality, the listener occasionally also can find old school references that are strongly reminding to old Sarcófago. Strongly recommended for the fans of the genre!
