Satanism: In Conspiracy with... cassette
From the filth ridden streets of New York City, Satanism brings 7 tracks of satanic speed metal of the absolute highest order.
Old School in sound spirit and energy, combining the lust and sleaze of Venom & Bulldozer, with the demonic buzzsaw riffs of Show No Mercy era Slayer, Satanism are a defiant fist in the face of modern metal, with their feet firmly planted in the golden era of Evil Metal.
Our take: The labelâs description for this New York bandâs cassette invokes âthe golden era of Evil Metal,â and that hits the nail on the head. They mention Venom and Slayerâs Show No Mercy as influences on Satanism, and Iâd add Celtic Frost that list, too. The songs move between modes of sleazy and savage, the band equally comfortable in both. The recording is very vintage too, with copious reverb and an unpolished yet heavy and powerful sound. The lyricist isnât winning a Pulitzer or anything (one song goes âI hate you / I hate you / I hate you / fuck youâ), but the rawness and the confrontational quality suits the music. I like that itâs 7 tracks too, feeling more like a long EP or cassette album than just a demo. This will definitely get some horns in the air.
