Review: This entire tape
sounds and looks like a compilation [it is, but I
wasn't aware of that while reviewing]. Burn the
House of God parts 1 to 6 offer Beherit-like
whispers on monotonous drums and equally monotonous black
metal riffs. The guitar sound is bad and thin. The drums
are better, but hardly satisfactory. The whispers are
crispy clear, but thats also what detaches them
from the music entirely. They really are just whispers
over low-fi music. The clean vocals heard in part IV are
extremely laughable, and sound like the moaning of a
retarded person. The tracks Empty parts 1 and 2
are no different. Den zwarten dood sounds weird
but different in all its low-fi glory and has some sort
of bell that sounds ripped from a train-crossing... I am
not sure what to make of this release; a few moments its
likeable, but at many times its absolutely not.
