As
black metal becomes more abstract there is going to come
the unlikely point where a substantial portion of
headbangers will spend their days listening to solely
static and feedback and will completely forget about
guitars and drums. The market for that kind of racket is
definitely growing and with each day that passes we see
more and more satanic bands, each hailing themselves as
groundbreakers and pioneers while dumbly dishing out
clanks and shit. What I find more appealing than pure
experimentation is the middle point between metal and
whatever it is that bands feel like adding to the mix.
The trio Treachery isn’t a balls out despondent
proposition but about half of their music is pure
bizarre.
The first
song is called “Inception” and it sounds as such, the birth of
something monstruous, vile, malignant, evil and ugly. The only
thing is I don’t know if this track should be taken as an actual
song or a mere intro because when Treachery are not dropping the
black metal they usually spend time crafting pieces like this.
“Kiss the Fist” is more like the black metal we’ve all come to
cherish; inhuman full blast speed definitely courtesy of a drum
machine, a totally distorted barrage of atonal guitars and the
insane vocal contortions of Hecate.
“Bound In
Your Entrails” starts with an organic drum beat, which aided by
electronics creates a very morbid atmosphere. It’s good stuff,
it’s got an 80’s techno feel to it, but this is one where the
black metal kind of lets down, as the magnificence of the guitar
riff forces the song down into a pretty average black metal
affair. I like the shortness of this EP. For some reason the
twenty-three minutes of this EP leave you jonesing for more
Treachery, which is just about what anyone should feel like
after listening to a new band.
