Bog of the Infidel - To Corrupt Your Sons and Lust After Your Daughters (2013)

Delivering punishing US Black Metal, today we have Bog of the Infidel and their latest EP “To Corrupt Your Sons and Lust After Your Daughters”. Featuring a barbaric and relentless sound, this band embodies the current state of Black Metal in the USA. The band will immediately capture any BM fan’s attention with their commanding riffing and gut-wrenching vocals.

Opening with a very elegant classic guitar intro track “An Epitaph Scribed in Dismal Skies”, the band fully explodes on “Burnt Offerings”. With a wall of sound similar to Horna, Sargeist, Gorgoroth, but with that certain USBM touch, Bog of the Infidel delivers waves of savage riffs and crushing vocals. The drumming is quite tight, and on tracks like “As Satan's Pale Serpent Eye Waxes Full” it does not have to be 10,000 bmps all the time to achieve its desired effect.

As the EP draws to a close, the melodic elements thrown into the band’s savage aural assaults are very well mixed into the debauchery. Reminding us of bands like Teratism and Nightbringer, this is one elements of the USBM scene that is very prevalent in all releases and greatly exemplified here with “As Satan's Pale Serpent Eye Waxes Full” and the closer “To the Lurker Sold”.

Bog of the Infidel is by far one of the most powerful USBM bands in the scene these days with the likes of Teratism and Nightbringer. With a crushing sound that is both barbaric and melodic, the band leaves a great testimony of what they can do on “To Corrupt Your Sons and Lust After Your Daughters”. So get yourself a copy of this crushing EP or be false.
