Spawned from the vast aeons of Hell during the late 80s, fetid warriors of the apocalypse Archgoat have not been the most prolific extreme metal act. So be thankful then disciples that we have another blast furnace to contend with.<\/p>\n

This is album number four within the deranged discography that also includes a batch of split projects and a few EPs, but with The Luciferian Crown<\/em> the Finnish black mass has cemented its place as producers of nightmarish metal.<\/p>\n

The outing features ten tracks (including the 20-second introduction, \u2018Intrantation\u2019) of impure, hellish, fire-scorched hate, death \u2018n\u2019 destruction which, just to lure you in \u2013 and heed the warning \u2013 opt for slower, rancid tempos before crushing you with an absolute pile-driving bass, drum and guitar.<\/p>\n

Archgoat deliver fast, furious and extremely heated death-cum-black metal scariness, from the early strains of \u2018Jesus Christ Father Of Lies\u2019 through to the even more disturbing dankness of \u2018Jezebel\u2019s Black Mass Orgy\u2019 and \u2018Messiah Of Pigs\u2019. If you\u2019re not familiar with such jewels then believe me, you\u2019re not going to be in for an easy ride as the hyper drum blasts create enough friction to set fire to your stereo before your hair soon becomes at one with the flames, such is the rank speed and fiery din caused.<\/p>\n

The presence of the band members is akin to a gaggle of demons wrapping at your window. The music is just a sorry mess of black thrashing hate, pungent doom-laden squalid beating and blustery flamethrower whips, and that\u2019s without the grotesque and chesty vomits up front.<\/p>\n

There are still flurries of melody too within the barbed wire lashings and countless wading through Hades\u2019 rivers; sick punkoid frenzy is coughed up to combat speedy shocks as titles such as \u2018Sorcery And Doom\u2019, \u2018The Obsidian Flame (From My Depths)\u2019 and \u2018I Am Lucifer’s Temple\u2019 rattle, scamper and scurry from blackened, charred dungeons. Couple such skirmishes with tolling clamour and burped up innards and chains and you\u2019ve got yourself a pile of bloodied excrement that only Archgoat can produce \u2013 the percussion alone battering so hard and fast that my entire medicine cabinet of pills will not be enough to dampen the pain left by this destructive habitat of sound.<\/p>\n

Deranged fans of Archgoat will lap this up in absolute perverted fury, because for dingy atmosphere, scolding and downright evil presence this mound of steaming filth is gonna take some beating.<\/p>\n
