"ODS's sixth demo and seventh release sees the band further exploring their bastardization of the Raw Black Metal sound." -Rites of Pestilence
The Scandinavian crust vox could've been accompanied with some growls and whispers or even effects. Sometimes the vocals sound like if Captain Beefheart took more acid and was really really disturbed and angry. Possessed. I still love this though, not afraid to delve extensively into eerie avant-industrial absurdity and obviously the raw tape-head black metal sound is the band's disgusting bone palace to lay half dead in, but strange group chants as well as noise/art-rock deconstructive episodes abruptly and interrupt the monotony to mix it up and keep you on your toes. I also love the different recording techniques or slight volume alterations from 'song' to 'song'. Track 3 brings in the one-two drum beat with fury akin to a lot of 80's USHC punk and also primitive metal acts like Ildjarn and Ødelegger. Completely lo-fi the last track sounds like an demonic alien abduction quite unique to this realm of nasty experimentation. Absolutely refreshing finding this band, after listening and headbanging to their contemporaries like say Slutet, Sluggard, Nächtlich, Tyrannic, Demon City Reaper and Black Grail for so long. Killah!
