Antichrist Siege Machine – Purifying Blade (2021)

May 27, 2023

Hmmmmmm that’s some tasty, tasty war metal. Love the sheer sonic obliteration that is the fucking SNARE DRUM alone. That’s my jam. But yeah, in all seriousness, this is heavy as shit. Which is what we want, right? At least from war metal, this is to be expected and I welcome it openly.

Is there masses of variation and technical nuance? Perhaps not. Purifying Blade does have more going than your average 30-minutes-blur of a war metal release, but will probably still underwhelm those who are looking for more than sheer sonic brute force. Luckily, that kind of thing keeps cavemen like myself very happy, so I cannot recommend this enough.
