PYROMANCER - Demo MMXV (GODZ OF WAR CD 2016)
This is Pyromancer, an
American beast that features Master of Graveyard Torment on drums and Conqueror
Horus on guitars, both also performing vocal duties. And both are also members
of some other bands, but I honestly don’t know any of them. Pyromancer is
reasonably fresh thing. This is their first recording, simply called “Demo MMXV”,
originally released on cassette and now Godz ov War Productions has unleashed
this filth on CD format. By the first look, I have to say that I love the whole
layout. Fantastic logo, great visual side of this release…
And music… well, this is some
seriously violent, vulgar and obscure black / death metal. Or war metal or
bestial metal… whatever you call it. With just five songs and less that quarter
of an hour, Pyromancer delivers just extreme, harsh sounding, barbaric stuff, something
that maniacs of bands like Revenge, Archgoat or Diocletian will surely love. The
whole aura around these sounds is incredibly dark and hateful, and the chaotic,
almost primitive style of Pyromancer music conjures this feeling perfectly. Their
riffs are sometimes almost archaic, luckily though Pyromancer had enough guts
to come up with some great songs and achieved a harsh, but energetic
production, so when played loud, “Demo MMXV” makes quite a nice impression. I like
also the dual vocal performance, where growls are mixed with pissed off
screams. And I like the whole straight forward, no bullshit attitude of this
music.
Yeah, Pyromancer is definitely
not breaking the wheels and is not coming up with anything groundbreaking or
immortal… but damn, it felt like some intense punches in the face when I played
their music. Good stuff for the bestial black metal maniacs.
Standout track: “Inferno”
Final rate: 70/100
