Mutiilation – Vampires Of Black Imperial Blood (1995)

July 28, 2024

Only the trvest, most intense vampires need apply for this one. It seems almost mandatory that you listen to this one on the shittiest pair of earphones ever, or with a chewed up cassette copy complete with wobbles and surface noise. It is however to these gent’s credit how they conjure up such fantastic paranormal atmospheres from what is essentially a very basic template. The drums are truly abysmal, and the vocals aren’t better. The guitar carries the compositions, but do not misjudge me – it too is fairly awful. Vampires Of Black Imperial Blood however is much greater than the sum of its parts.
