As if Hell isn\u2019t full enough, one can now add these El Salvador lunatics to the pile. With their debut album, the freaky foursome of Priest Of Whores (vocals), Sadomaniac (guitar), B\u00efer B\u00f6mber (bass) and Necroblaster (drums) doesn\u2019t just set out to wake the neighbours but sacrifice them to the dark lord too.<\/p>\n

After a short intro, \u2018Don\u2019t Burn The Witch\u2019 comes hammering out of the caverns like a demented flutter of rabid bats. Propelled by the whiplash of the drums and the dehydrated gasps, this is very much striking black thrash coated in toxic layers of deathly soot. Necroblaster is such a formidable beast on those skin slaps, literally sounding as if Lucifer himself is pacing down the fiery halls on those hairy hooves.<\/p>\n

\u2018Succubus\u2019, \u2018Lust & Alcohol\u2019 and \u2018Metal Attack\u2019 stink of black leather and channelling old, archaic Teutonic and South American forces with slick, sniping axe work that cuts to the bone. However, this is not your average unholy speed metal feast, the band members \u2013 who also feature for Apes Of God \u2013 construct all manner of slick melodies that snake through the blackness.<\/p>\n

Streaks of black boozy humour can be found within the cloying mists of the album, for example \u2018Good Beer, Good Times\u2019 is an absolute riot. However, these guys know how to deliver a riff; \u2018Hate, Suffering And Power\u2019 is blessed with a truly evil tone. But much of what\u2019s served up here is thrashy as Satanic Priest creates a mish mash of Venom, Sodom, Bulldozer and whisky, although with more sniping focus.<\/p>\n

\u2026Of Blasphemies & Lust!<\/em> only runs for 25 minutes but it\u2019s such a devilish frenzy of fun and ferocity, epitomised by the blitzkrieg of \u2018Through Lucifer\u2019s Lands\u2019 and the equally belligerent \u2018The Rise Of Satan\u2019, which begins like old Slayer<\/a> except for the rusty vocals. This is music for graveyard dwellers and Devil disciples everywhere, so hop on over to Vicious Witch Records and support the underground.<\/p>\n
