Black Metal

PAIMON GATE’s debut album – BUTCHER TO THE DEVIL’S COURT expands upon the groundwork laid out in the SEVEN LEGIONS demo released last year from this new American Black Metal cult. For fans of brutal Black Metal from a time long lost, the tapestry of influences that make up this work may be noticed via the likes of DEMONCY, VON, old IMPALED NAZARENE, old MARDUK, old SAMAEL and MORBID ANGEL. From a time when the lines between Death Metal and Black Metal were blurred and the potency of dark Satanic music was the focus – PAIMON GATE’s debut album delivers 30 minutes of scathing Satanic work – Executed with an honest and sincere dedication to the evil art of black metal music.

A mere matter of months since it released its first official recording, “Demo I,” Perverted Ceremony returns with its uniquely abominable variety of black metal, hereby presenting its debut full-length album, “Sabbat of Behezaël,” under the very same banner of Nuclear War Now! First discovered by NWN! through the time-honored underground tradition of the band spreading self-produced cassettes to a limited number of contacts, Perverted Ceremony’s music reflects the same authenticity and dedication to their craft as their original manner of clandestine distribution. Although the band lists such revered acts as Demoncy, Mystifier, Von, Blasphemy, Profanatica, Archgoat, and Beherit, as their primary influences, their sound tends to gravitate somewhat more towards the latter two (along with Barathrum), who represent the Finnish tradition of bestial black metal. That said, Perverted Ceremony’s style is not easily compartmentalized according to their influences. On the contrary, with their distinctive approach to songwriting, production, and atmosphere, they have achieved a ritualistic blend of black metal that is unique unto itself. Additionally, Perverted Ceremony has proven with this album that the work recorded on its demo, which was already impressive in its own right, was only a snapshot in the band’s development, and one which has now been superseded.
