Description
Without a doubt, BLUT UND KRIEG is one of the top 10, hell, maybe even top 5 black metal albums of all time. Ugly, raw, and brutal, yet at the same time melodic, epic, and beautiful, Moonblood embodies all the greatness once held by bands such as Darkthrone and Burzum in their most brilliant and glorious moments. Everything about this album is excellent. The guitar tone sets the mood for the entire album with a fuzzy, booming drone that envelops the listener. Try listening to Moonblood through a very good pair of headphones, and I guarantee that you will be sucked in! That’s what I was advised to do upon my first listen, as the first notes of “In a Bloody Night of Fullmoon” hit my ears as a total fucking deathmarch. This song shatters all definitions of what is epic. There is an etherial presence here, something larger than the music itself. Moonblood is just sinister and evil. Occulta Mors’ vocals are the perfect kind of demonic rasp over the thick, doomy riffs to set the atmosphere of the album as an evil, anguished trance tinged with sorrow, hatred, and suffering. All songs on the album play upon these various themes to different degrees, but the true masterpiece on this masterpiece album is the nine minute long “...and Snow Covered the Lifeless Bodies.”
This is what the black metal underground is all about. Elite music for elite listeners. Production is piss poor. The 5th track is louder than the rest, esp. the first riff. None of this makes the slightest bit of difference. This is epic bm with folk influences, it has a very unusual gloomy vibe. The guitarwork is melodic and well done. Most songs are long and trance inducing, blasting is nonexistent. The vocals are excellent and quite unique, more raspy than most others. None of this is actually what separates the band, it's less tangible. The music created here is reminiscent of a story or narrative, it goes beyond epic.
