Old Coven - The Awake Of Ascendant Darkeness (2020)


Very few bands can present a sound so closely interconnecting death, thrash and black metal. But Old Coven does a fkn brilliant job bonding these styles. They sound like a raging beast with an arsenal of influences comparable to legendary bands such as Bathory, Messiah, Sodom, Possessed, and Sarcofago, they offer up some of the most truly twisted and groundbreaking material of this era. A lethal dose of complex riffing and wild shred fests. It's about as insane of a blackened thrash-oriented album as can be found in the late 80s, savage intensity. If early Messiah, Possessed and Bathory are on your radar, definitely Old Coven can be found at their border. Get your hands on this cassette if you love the extreme forms in metal. This release definitely pushes the boundaries of the aspects of extreme metal and is a very unique album with a very unique sound. Once again, this is not at all for casual death metal listeners or trendy pussies. Only for those who are licensed to feel this extreme way of expression for real. METAL RULES!!!!!!!!
