Siculicidium - Keringők (Valses) (2012)

cover

Arriving in a limited edition 7” today we have Siculicidium’s EP titled “Keringők”. Featuring two tracks, this release has two different ‘reinterpretations’ of Swans iconic “New Mind”. Each track delivers quite disturbing sounding versions of this song that are very traditional to the band’s creepy Black Metal sound.

Opening with “Valse Triste” the band sets a very slow and painful pace. As you can instantly hear, the riffing closely resembles Swans original version, but the mournful vocals greatly enhance the experience. The Black Metal roots of the band are also very present has the song progresses, adding that extra level of personalization the band gives to the track. As unique as Swans original version was, we very much enjoyed this different interpretation of the song.

“Valse Ende” starts in a very similar fashion to the previous track, but now we are reminded of Mayhem’s “Freezing Moon” thanks to the bleak distorted guitars. This track goes on full speed for a while with some Punk-ish drums and harsh vocals courtesy of Nekrofuher. One minute longer than the first song, this track is definitely the standout of this release.

Short but sweet; this very unique EP is sure to become a hot collector’s item in the future so head over to Sun & Moon Records to order your own piece of history. Siculicidium is quite a unique band, and they demonstrate it with this very iconic release.
