Black Witchery – Upheaval Of Satanic Might (2005)

I fell asleep with this album on repeat (thanks Spotify) and ended up listening to it in my sleep over and over and over from approx 11pm until 5am. Whether this nocturnal consumption of war metal will have any effect on my mental state going forward, only time will tell. I did enjoy Unpheaval of Satanic Might, however (I fell asleep on one of my re-listens, so I have heard the whole thing lol).

The riffs could be accused of being somewhat uninspired but that’s OK with me to be honest, it really works with war metal anyway, and I like the super basic repetition of certain notes that are held for far, far too long. I’m not talking Seer-era Swans level of repetition, but a 3 minute war metal track with 1 riff can feel like a hundred years.

All in all, sick and evil from start to finish, with excellent interludes and ferocious blasting metal throughout. One for the die hard war metal fans only though, for sure.
