Polish black metal has always had a strong cult following. Back in the nineties when tape-trading was a thriving form of exchange between fans of underground extreme music, and demos from Polish bands were notoriously hard to track down due to language barriers and other forms of differences which have always kept contact on a personal level between western europeans and americans and eastern Europeans at a low level. The internet has brought a lot of change, and nowadays it's extremely easy to get your hands on certain releases which were previously unavailable due to numerous re-prints at popular request. This fact, for me, proves that this music is timeless and will always be highly regarded.
"United Aryan Evil" provides for an amazing listening experience. When it comes to black metal demos, their notoriety for bad production usually precedes the listening experience, which sometimes lead to certain demos receiving bad reputation due to certain preconceptions that people still so dearly hold-on to. Most songs on this demo are mid-paced black metal in vein of early enslaved, darkthrone, Absurd and the blazebirth hall bands like nitberg and forest. The guitars are enveloped in a thin shroud of distortion and reverb which gives the guitars a very cold and grim aura.
The bass guitar is constantly present in the overall structure of the songs. It possesses a very faded presence, always on the outskirts of the aural wavelengths, trudging through the songs staying buttressed to the guitar.
The vocals on this album are nothing special, they are simple black metal shrieks that are akin to the shrieks you'd expect from Nocturno Culto. In fact, although this band is usually described as "national socialist black metal", that term usually references only the lyrical theme of the demo and has little to say in describing the actual music being played. Although most black metal produced during this era was mostly preoccupied with satanism, anti-christianity and more spiritual/apolitical themes, Fullmoon refrains from jumping on this bandwagon in the most obtuse way possible, like most other bands did during the mid-to-late nineties. Instead, on this debut demo, even though all the primitive trappings of old-school black metal are present, this release has quite a serene atmosphere which inspires nationalistic and anti-semitic sentiments if the listener allows the lyrics to enter the his subconscious as easily as the musical melodies that are present on this album do.
I highly suggest that everyone who has never came across Fullmoon, but knows about bands such as Hate Forest, Absurd, Moonblood and other central European black metal bands, would do well to check this demo out, because what this release contains, is 35 minutes of pure, unadulterated black metal with a unique ethereal soul which allows the music to flow so seamlessly and in the utmost enjoyable way.
