Pentsign - Какофонический марш тьмы (2008)

 With the ordinary mixture of death and traditional black metal debuted Pentsign, but their performance also reflected modern tendencies.
   Their themes are evidently following the Northerm styled black, but often they breaking the line in a way how it was used to in old school death, to return soon into black more intensively. Except the simpler switchings and the clear sound, their music keeps staying on the black line. The temporary theme changes partly serving as an old school feature, and meanwhile pushing their ravaging hammerings into focus. The atmosphere also gains some role, but the main wiev is closer to raw black because of the pure aggressive tone and the insane vocal style. The modern direction is represented in the sound most of all, and in the vocal switchings into deep growls. It's literally like a balancing on more borderlines at the same time. Raw black metal spreaded fast from the early '00s, and if Pentsign's goal was to make a step forward in aggressiveness and insanity with their music, they've certainly succeeded. Even though their record probably got lost amongst the countless similar others that time, their sound is quite stunning and worhts for a listen for the fans of the genre.
