Dødsengel ‎– Visionary (2009)

November 20, 2020

Uhhhh what? This is a pickle of a black metal record. Admittedly I am not too familiar with the works of Dødsengel, but picked up on the name as a project to check out. On the surface of it, its black metal by numbers with wailing, screeching guitars and evil, shrieked vocals. But, underneath there is this element of dissonance, where things are thrown off kilter or even brazenly played out of tune or key or whatever. I guess the goal is to throw you off and make things a bit more unsettling, but honestly it’s just bizarre. Unsure how I feel about this one.
