Beheaded Lamb - A Grave to This World
I don’t have a whole lot of information on this band - mostly because the band doesn’t give much in the CD’s inlay or the back. Musically, this is fairly standard Black Metal in the Darkthrone / early Burzum/Judas Iscariot vein. You don’t get a whole lot of surprises and the songs are not very complex. I think the average song has only two or three riffs in total. The production on A Grave to This World is not the greatest, but it is better than your average “Grim/Cold/Necro” Black Metal band. The guitar is definitely too low compared to the vocals and the drums. The vocals are probably the most annoying part of the whole package. I think it has more to do with the fact that they were too loud than because Alastor, the bassist/singer, has an annoying voice. He definitely has a banshee wail, though. I think the main problem Beheaded Lamb faces is the fact that none of their songs stand out. They are all fairly plain and ultimately, forgettable. They don’t suck, but at the same time, you can’t remember any of them once the CD stops playing. A Grave to This World is okay. It doesn’t suck. It isn’t good and it certainly isn’t great. If this band can get some sort of identity for themselves, they will go somewhere. Until then, they are definitely going to get lost in the massive ocean of generic Black Metal that currently floods the market.
