Evilness from the Capital
Occult Burial is a
power trio from Ottawa and they play a vicious, old school sort of
metal that will turn the dead into nightly shadowy creatures. The
three dudes (including the drummer of super good trad metallers Iron
Dogs from the same city) are on the edge of releasing a full length
or, fuck I need them to!
This demo is about
10 minutes of pure first wave black metal fury with all the rightful
elements you can expect from a band worshiping the tape-trading days
of the 1980s. It has Cronos-esque vocals intertwined with the lovely
“ughhhh” from Tom Gabriel Warrior's book of proto-extreme metal,
evil thrash riffs from hell with solid but brief soloing and fast,
backbeats drums. Think of a even more primitive Aura Noir and you're
not far from what these dudes managed to sound like. It's super fast
black/thrash with some heavy and speed injected into its undead
organs. The production is raw but adequate and the riffs are distinct
and hellishly heavy and uncompromising. I've seen the band live last
summer and their energy was easily transposed to the stage. Bullet
belts, alcohol and Satan is always a good mix.
Signed on the great
Irish label Invictus Productions, Occult burial was born to rip you a
new nasty hole. It's fun and wonderfully retro while never forcing
the issue. They just love Bathory's debut so much and it's apparent
and frankly, there's nothing wrong with that. Solid demo from these
Canadian headbangers. Get it for free on Electric Assault's Bandcamp
page.
They're playing an evil gig in Montréal soon, here's the event page.
