Siculicidium - A rothadó virágok színüket vesztik (2012)
We consider ourselves to be very tolerant to most raw, low-fi, closet recorded Raw Black Metal releases, but there are just sometimes when something is so dissonant that it makes you want to puncture your eardrums; this is exactly the case with Siculicidium latest EP titled “A rothadó virágok színüket vesztik”. Luckily for us, this release only lasts around 25 minutes, but it will surely drive you nuts in that small amount of time. Opening with the super typical “Zuhanas” the band quickly develops a nice enshrouding atmosphere thanks to some good distortion and effective riffing. The vocals are ok, but sound a bit muffled and ‘watered down’. However, the most annoying thing in this song is the production/mixing behind the drums, either the guy doing this job was the drummer itself or somebody that was a bit deaf. The excessive swishing renders them unbearable!, but even worse is the section that starts around minute 2:30 where is just banging on the cymbals excessively. This track made us want to kick somebody in the nuts because it annoyed us that much. |
