Bloody Sign - Vana Vigala Loits

Ibex Moon - 2003

Posted on Saturday, September 11, 2010

France’s Bloody Sign play a convincingly Old School high speed blend of Thrash and Death Metal drawing influence from Possessed, old Morbid Angel, and old Pestilence (and I’m not just saying that because they do a kick ass cover of “Parricide,” possibly the highlight of the album). Everything here is up to par, but if I could make one suggestion it would be to mix it up a little more. Add more tempo changes and dynamics, like the all-out heaviness towards the end of “Vana Vigala Loits (part 2)” which is so brutal not even a jew-harp can weaken it. The introduction by the Setumaa People was a bad idea, in fact it may be the most annoying thing ever recorded, and the live track sounds like shit. Other than that, this is pretty solid, and once the bugs are ironed out we could have a serious force to be reckoned with in the near future.

Rating: 8.5

This is disappointing, but I guess I’m not too surprised…

The recent deluge of bad Burzum makes me wonder what might have been if Varg hadn’t gone to prison. Was the the downward musical slide inevitable, and just delayed by the fact that he wasn’t really able to put out albums in the klink? Or is it solely because he needs the cash and is rushing to put out everything he can think of? I’d like to hope for the latter, but the history of metal in general suggests the former.

From the entry 'Astaroth (Florida - USA) - Songs of Sorrow'
First I’d like to say that I never obtained a copy of Songs of Sorrow. Nor did I ever get the privledge to hear the final product. I parted ways with Larry Sapp and the band shortly before the release for personal reasons. I am still friends with Demian Heftel but I have not spoken with Tony Laureano in years. Like you, I preferred the “L.S.D” demo and sound. I did hear a couple of tracks from “S.O.S” and I agree that although a very good production, the sound lacked the mighty sound that was once Astaroth. Anyway, my influences have always been the thick, heavy and raw “Swedish” style and sound. For those that care, I played a Charvel/Jackson bass through an Ampeg SVT. And I loved bands like Dismember/Carnage, Entombed, Edge of Sanity, etc… Keep em’ tuned down and stay heavy \”/
