Persecutory - Perversion Feeds Our Force

PERSECUTORY - Perversion Feeds Our Force (GODZ OV WAR - CD 2022)

Some time ago, "Summoning the Lawless Legions" from Persecutory brutally broke all my bones and for days it did not let me forget about that excellent, powerful music. I still try to put myself together after this excellent album. Meanwhile Godz Ov War decided to re-release Persecutory's debut EP "Perversion Feeds Our Force". Not a bad idea, because I never had a chance to hear this material, I don't think it would be that easy to grab a copy of original CD pressing, so a re-release surely sounds like a good idea. 

And I will make this review short, because this EP with its sixteen minutes of music just goes quickly that there's not even much to tell. All four tracks here are more in the pure barbaric black metal vein (check all these possessed screams on this album), when compared to death / black metal from the latest album. Everything what's on this EP can be called "fast and furious". Tempo on these songs hardly ever slows down, it's just insanely intense, aggressive, violent music, where's no room for melodies or anything like that. It's just a black metal wall of riffage. Production is much rawer when compared to more brutal and powerful production of the last album. But do not be worried; it's still pretty solid sounding piece of underground black metal. Not as killer and impressive as the latest album - oh no, not even close. But I think it's not bad at all and if you're looking for some of these more "exotic" black metal bands, Persecutory will be up your street. 

Verdict: 70/100
