Beherit "Messe Des Morts" CD

Descripción h Beherit . What Can you say about this band ? Messe Des Morts is their final e.p. before becoming another sellout in a long list of (lets change our music because we are bored with the underground) sellouts . Hailing from Finland in a time before black metal had a quote , unquote "sound" like it does these days . If you've never heard them this album is not a good introduction . This might be a little too raw for the occasional listener . Every single release has a completely unique vibe , feel and yes sound . This is no different .
While Drawing Down the Moon has that trance like flow that every maniacal Beherit fan loves (myself included) ; Messe Des Morts is more like their early stuff with better ahem production . No strangers to total utter bargain basement production on any number of their releases , strangely for me , this one does not fall in the category of most peoples opinion of this amazing band . Messe Des Morts is raw with an evil dirty vibe and a hint of what's to come for this band , SAMPLING !
The opening track on this four song blackened masterpiece "Beherit" is one of my favorite that this band ever recorded in their brief four year black metal history . It opens with a weird combo of heavy synthesizer bent and warped to the low rumble of Holocaust Vengeance's evil groovy lyrics that almost sound like the words do it , do it , do it , do it , before the song explodes with a doomsday riff of unparalleled ferocity on this album . I've been listening to this since it came out in 1993 and i still bang my head when this kicks in ! In the best way brutally evil . Beherit's signature style of just pounding a riff in your skull until you submit to it is here in it's entirety .
The next song is an instrumental which by itself is amazingly evil and twisted but just doesn't seem to belong here on an e.p. that only clocks in at a short and unsatisfying 12 minutes or so . Then comes the third track which is a straight up black metal song . Gut wrenching speed and another hypnotic quality help "Satanic Chaos" fit right in with the description of the first song "Beherit" . It just flows well the rest of the album .
Last but absolutely not least is the fourth and final track "Messe Des Morts" . This track is unbelievably unique . I or you have never heard a song like this in my life trust me . Starting off with a Sarcofago era I.N.R.I. riff this just murders you with non forgiving blazing speed that slows and speeds up like something that a psychiatrist would use on mental patients . Surely to test their ability to handle stress before putting them in the electric chair for killing their neighbors for no apparent reason . This one hurts your psyche and should only be listened to by the mentally fit . Absolutely amazing from a band that love them or hate them has made their grimy , disgusting , dirty , blasphemous mark on the underground forever !!!! All hail this mighty masterpiece and all hail the mighty Beherit !!!!! Goatly.....
