Phlegethon – Visio Dei Beatifica (1989)

December 29, 2022

What a dingy composition! I was expecting early black metal but instead got something a bit more, idk, Possessed? Is that a correct comparison? I’m not sure. That’s what listening to random shit at 2am will do to you! I guess this thing predates most black metal anyway so I should have realised.

Visio Dei Beatifica has that early tape demo feel about it which is just beautiful. Oh, and I will say, the drummer is one busy badger. Fills, fills and more fills! Tidy.
