Review: Before I heard the
debut album, I had once seen I.A.O. live (and actually,
before that, Funeral Goat) and was quite impressed by
them. Lds and Hrrds - both former musicians in Sauron -
manage to create an album that is a mixture of
Mayhem’s De mysteriis with more dissonant
black metal of today, but keep away from the path of
modern Mayhem, which of course has its own substantial
share of dissonance. The album is a solid block of metal,
sometimes fast, sometimes mid-tempo, but always sounding
massive. This album is far more captivating then Verbum
Verus’ Melkiresha, which I somehow consider
either as this band’s counterpart or competitor,
both springing from the ashes of Sauron.
