Crime Orgy demo CD 2003
3" mini-CD 2008 re-release by Svartgalgh
1: Visions
2: Armageddominion
3: With a Satanic Aspect
line-up:
Helldelinquent (vocals, drums, bass)
Captain Holland (guitars)
Review: Satanic Terrorism has yet another
new face to show you. In the past we have seen the likes
of Absurd, Burzum, and (parts of) Emperor giving in to
this demonic black metal urge, and now we have the
illustrious Dutch duo Delinquentes Infernae to continue
on this path (keep checking the newspapers, they might
pop up somewhere, if nowhere else the obituaries). This
band consists of the oddly named Captain Holland (Is it a
plane? Is it a bird? No... It's my favorite
superhero-named black metal action figure Captain
Holland!) and Helldelinquent (who's no captain, I think,
but is somewhat 'known' for small lyrical contributions
to the weird band Lanz). Although the band has already
announced to have finished all activity after the release
of Crime Orgy, and it seems nothing more than
'yet another black metal side-project' at first glance,
we are in fact dealing with extremely strong black metal
material here, that reminds me a damned lot of
Darkthrone's magnificently sick Panzerfaust
album ("Eight miles deep the well forgotten by
mortals"). Visions, Armageddominion,
and With a Satanic Aspect are all catchy and
well written pieces of Black Art, with mainly pure
old-school riffs, great vocal work, a real cool demo
production, and a grim atmosphere that a lot of bands of
today can only wish for (or at least, would wish for if
they had any knowledge of this original black metal
grimness). Even though I think it's a shame the captain
and his delinquent minion have already put Delinquentes
Infernae into deep freeze - a respectable statement it
remains though - it is very rewarding trying to get a
copy of this mini-demo on cdr.

Ontkerstening demo CD 2010
1: The Sham Spore
2: Ontkerstening
3: Rain of Sulphur
line-up:
Helldelinquent (vocals, drums, bass)
Captain Holland (guitars)
Review: When I heard Delinquentes Infernae was back
in the studio to record a follow-up demo, my anticipation
for their new material was quickly triggered. They had
once proclaimed the band to be a goner, but almost seven
years later took the time to dig up the old corpse and
release - yet again - a short but worthy old-school
sounding demo. I then received the request to photoshop
together the cover, which is the striking image of Lady
Justice holding the head of Jesus instead of the usual
scales. Fuck, where do they come up with this excellent
stuff! Even though the sound of this second release is
hardly as good as on Crime Orgy, it still
delivers that early 1990s feeling, when black metal
wasn't known by every 10-year old with a Korn logo on
their jacket. Amidst the somewhat dusty demo sound, you
can clearly hear that the compositions are original and
at full strength - leave that to the skills of Captain
and Delinquent. I guess we'll have to wait 'till 2017 for
the bands follow-up, but hey, I already know I'm going to
like it!
