Release Notes:
This Angry Metal Guy rips on black metal a lot.
One of the most overdone and ill-performed genres
in the history of metal has to be black metal. The
problem is that when black metal is performed
poorly by individuals who are not invested in it,
then black metal is boring, simplistic and
uninteresting. But when black metal is performed
with the force and fanaticism of Sweden's very own
Watain, then it is a force to be reckoned with.
And finally Lawless Darkness the new full-length
from this Uppsala/Stockholm, Sweden-based black
metal act is here and it is a force be reckoned
with. It harkens back to the days of yore, when
black metal was new, vile and most importantly,
dangerous and excellent.
Entirely honestly, it's hard to write a review for
a record like this because in the end what
probably should be said is: it's fucking Watain,
buy it already. But, of course, if you're out
looking for a review you might be sitting on the
fence and then you want a description. Lawless
Darkness brings the old school back a bit with
Lawless Darkness. This is not a 200 BPM blast
album like a lot of modern black metal, where you
start to lose the extremity due to oversights of
what makes music heavy and extreme. Instead, there
is an old school thrash feeling to Lawless
Darkness that was less apparent on Sworn to the
Dark. Some people might disagree with me on this,
but one could argue that these guys had been
listening to a bit of Sodom and Kreator lately and
longing for the old days (they're not alone,
apparently). This is not to say that there aren't
tracks that are similar to "Sworn to the Dark" or
"Underneath the Cenotaph", but there is a more
thrashy feel and the same blasty black metal feel
isn't the same.
Lawless Darkness is also a more melodic record
than Sworn to the Dark or Casus Luciferi as well.
The guitar solos and the melodies on this album
stood out for me, in the same way that they stand
out for a Taake or Tsjuder record. While this
might make Lawless Darkness more accessible for a
new group of listeners (which the label probably
likes), I seriously doubt that was the point. The
tracks call for the melodies that pop up and the
guitar solos that rock this album are definitely
awesome and fit the feel of the record perfectly.
And while the end of a track like "Kiss of Death"
definitely calls up Ride the Lightning in its
execution (usch, what a comparison...), very few
people would argue that it's awesome and metal as
fuck.
So, once again, Lawless Darkness shows Watain as
being one of the premier (if not the premier)
black metal band(s) from Sweden. The legions of
Swedish black metal are pretty thick, but
listening to an album like this just puts into
sharp perspective how black metal is to be
executed. If you have any questions, just send
them to the guys from Watain. Tracks like "Four
Thrones" ("Hail Lucifer!") and the huge epic
"Waters of Ain" just cement that for me as a
listener. I'm not sure whether or not I can say
that this record is better than Sworn to the Dark
and Casus Luciferi (I think many fans would say
no), but I suspect that for many fans of black
metal Watain's newest opus will still top the 2010
list of favorites.
