Power Of Darkness (Blasphemous Rumours)<\/em> is the new bewitching release from Chilean blackened speed maniacs Devil\u2019s Poison, and as expected from this neck of the woods this is some authentic, explosive stuff from one of the most prolific acts on the scene.<\/p>\n

Since 2016 these corpse-painted warriors have now released two full-length studio albums, but in-between and all around there\u2019s been a host of split projects, demos and singles as well as a brace of EPs. However, let\u2019s descend into the pitch black pot-hole that is this eight-track menace.<\/p>\n

The band is a trio which plays occult-drenched, nasty thrash and I tend to take this stuff quite serious, even if the video for the title track is laughable. But look beyond the bullet belts and the smoke n\u2019 spikes and you\u2019ll be in for a thrilling blood-spilling ride to the dark side.<\/p>\n

The likes of \u2018Black Leather Gang\u2019, \u2018No Speed Limit For Rock And Roll\u2019 and \u2018Fuck Off And Die\u2019 (sorry lads, but the titles just make me chuckle) nod towards first and second wave black metal aesthetics, with high doses of Venom, old Sodom, Kreator, Destruction<\/a>, lashings of war metal, and the usual Norwegian style squabbling for good measure.<\/p>\n

It’s all rollicking and racy, furiously punky, and thorny and ravenous with extra snap in the vocal department. \u2018Night Street Rotten Demons\u2019 is rougher than Satan\u2019s scrotum, \u2018Killers Of The Night\u2019 opts for more oily traditional flavours as it simmers with suspense, and \u2018Blasphemous Rumours\u2018 maintains the punky ethos.<\/p>\n

The band knows its task is and rarely diverts from the left hand path, opting for organic vapours to be filtered through frosty black caverns. It is what it is \u2013 shadowy black thrash for those who still like to think about torching churches.<\/p>\n
