ASGATOTH (SPA)
First thing I said after looking at this CD was: “a Spanish band !!! Asgaroth !!! oh no!! Is it a brutal death metal realise???” I was worried it was a grind-core band, but luckily not (only grind-core I worship is early Carcass).
After I listened to the album, I found out that it’s not a brutal bastard band, but a black/dark metal album. It sounds a bit like a mix between Dimmu Borgir, Moonspell and Nightfall, without copying them.
Christopher Baque-Wildman is definitively the most active person in this band: he sings, plays guitar and keyboards like a god, no doubt about it.
The album is strong all the way, so I don’t have any fave songs so far. It’s also a video of the opening track “Naked eye”: probably not the most creative video in this world, but it looks passable. If melodic black metal is your favourite style, then surely this is a good investment.
