Black Ceremonial Kult - Crowned in Chaos

BLACK CEREMONIAL KULT - Crowned in Chaos (GODZ OV WAR - CD 2021)

Do not expect to hear old school, traditional death metal riffage here. Also do not expect to find memorable leads and harmonies on this album. Black Ceremonial Kult music is brutal and vicious, it’s dense as a tar, bleak as the deepest darkness and its aura is almost suffocating and claustrophobic. There's just nothing pleasant here, if people consider music as sort of entertainment then this album will deny such opinion. Black Ceremonial Kult on "Crowned in Chaos" is savage and bestial, the music is mostly incredibly fast, creating an unbreakable wall of noise and chaos. There are some almost black metal patterns here as well, which is why I bet many will call this album a war metal or bestial metal onslaught... but such labels do not really matter, right? 

The atmosphere is the main aspect, which constitutes this album. With its savagery of morbid metal of death and its thick, crushing wall of sound, "Crowned in Chaos" brings an insane amount of truly dark, obscure and evil feelings. Which are so well underlined by killer ghoulish vocals and especially by all these intros that connect all songs together. With them, the music has a strong ritualistic aura, which is very cool. So, it's obvious that "Crowned in Chaos" is one of those albums, which you need to listen to in the proper conditions - this is when it will work the best. Damn, these guys really did a fine job here. Sure, this sort of music can sound one dimensional, noisy and unbearable for some, especially for its complete lack of something memorable and "musical"... But with that atmosphere, Black Ceremonial Kult also brings a fierce energy, viciousness and aggression, which are so important as well. Besides, it's not like you won’t be able to pick up some killer riffs from that chaos. Listen to such "Under the Khaos" or "K.K.K." for that matter. Also, the band is from Chile... Did I mention my love for bands from this country? I did many times in the past, so I do that again. 

Standout track: “K.K.K.” 

Verdict: 75/100
