Burzum - Belus
The most anticipated release of 2010 is upon us! When you think of how the musical landscape has changed since Varg’s incarceration and last Metal album, it really is amazing. Amazing what passes for Black Metal these days, that is. Take a look at the infamous Inner Circle. Sure, Immortal and Satyricon are still decent bands, but Darkthrone (now a slightly more primitive Gorilla Biscuits), Ishahn (putting out glorified Air Supply records), and Mayhem (20 years/20 good songs) aren’t worth a piss anymore. I won’t even address NWOCBM (New Wave of College Black Metal) as it would be unfair to the Count, but if you would have told him Dimmu Borgir was the best Black Metal band around these days, he may have volunteered to stay in prison. But enough, let’s get down to business. Belus is exactly what I was hoping for. It’s like all the non-keyboard Burzum albums rolled into one. The anger and fury of Burzum/Aske hand-in-hand with the precise, epic melancholy of Filosofem. Nearly two decades in the clink haven’t taken the edge off of Virkenes, his sorely missed vocals sound great. More mature yet still brimming with misanthropic rage. His strongest quality, however, was always the riffs and Belus is no exception. Repetitive, bleak, melodic, and memorable. It’s nice to see the original rise up again and school the legion of cheap imitators. If I had one small quip, it would be the album’s final two cuts. Basically 18 minutes of droning, moody outro with little to no vocal action. Nevertheless, a triumphant return. The major PC Metal media will probably go out of their way to condemn this album due to Varg’s political beliefs and the fact that they are all pretty much Post Metal posers nowadays (although the Count does have quite a long scruffy beard at the moment, so there is a chance…), but I for one am ecstatic that the master is playing “nigger music” once again.

Welcome to the new MetalCurse.com!
After months of work, this new version of MetalCurse.com is finally here!
New reviews will be daily, with interviews and other features added as often as possible.
Metal Curse started publication in 1989, obviously as a print zine, since the world wide web hadn’t been invented yet.
In addition to a constant stream of new reviews, interviews, and other brain-stimulation, this new website features all of the archived reviews from all 12 of the print issues of Metal Curse, plus a few extra reviews that were cut from the print issues due to space limitations. And of course all the content from the previous versions of MetalCurse.com, all in a fully searchable database.
Or rather, it will.
We’re still working on getting all of the archived material online, since we will add the old stuff as we go, with our full concentration on new content.
So for the time being what you see on the “new” page is going to be a mix of old and new content.
Please keep in mind that most of the archive reviews were written when the material being reviewed was brand-new. In other words, a lot of these reviews are ancient.
By the time we’ve gotten all the archived material online, it’ll probably be time to start all over with another total site redesign!
If you have any suggestions for improving MetalCurse.com, let us know.
“Metal never bends and will never die!”

Through the Eyes of the Dead - Skepsis
Southern Deathcore-turned-Death Metal outfit Through the Eyes of the Dead don’t have much luck with vocalists. Youngster Danny Rodriguez is their third in three albums, and with the overwhelming brutality and heaviness of 2007’s breakthrough Malice due in large part to the demon-possessed bear vocals of ex-frontman Nate Johnson, he has big shoes to fill. Musically the band is as tight as ever. While I had no problem with their original breakdown-fueled Metalcore attack of albums past, I’ll take their full-on Death Metal assault any day. They still incorporate some of their old tricks, and while Skepsis may not be quite the monster Malice was, it still decimates. As far as Rodriguez’s vocals go, he is a formidable replacement to say the least. In fact, I honestly couldn’t tell it was a different guy until I looked. If you’re looking for pure brutality, crank this up and try not to shart yourself.
