I got this promo tape from Poland. It feels like this tape was sent from the early 80's or early 90's. SexMag is a very simple, yet effective style of black/death metal. A raw production and mix, with "primitive" songs, similar to early Bathory and Venom, some riffs in the vein ot the old Whiplash musicwise. There are some mixed influences, but you can hear that these guys are really into their music and they work hard to get it out. There are no highlights or stand out elements here, just a very good old school metal with some ultra evil lyrics. The lyrics are a mixture of Hate, Disgust and Satanism (whether it's real or not) but one thing is for sure: There's pure energy in these lyrics and a HUGE amount of rejection for a lot of shitty things of this world, which sounds positive to my ears. You want to know what I like most about this promo tape? the 80's sound. It comes down to musicians playing good metal with lots of attitude. To culminate this reviews, I definately recommend this band. For the lovers of old school Death, Thrash or Black Metal, this release is imperative to devour. The violent and euphoric moments that you will have with SexMag, will be endless.
