It had been a long time since I last listened to Hak-Ed Damm and, listening to Destruction Purificalis more times than I can count, I’ve been missing out. It’s not that they’re especially original, but their brand of in-your-face, savage and raw black metal is severely addictive. The screeches are ear-piercing and surprisingly kind of memorable, something I can rarely say about that vocal style. The album is mostly pedal-to-the-metal second-wave black metal, so there’s speed and heaviness to boot from beginning to end and, just like the vocals, there’s a lot of memorable stuff to be found. Not much more to say without a useless verbal diarrhea that’d put you to sleep, so let’s leave it at: This just kills.
