Cult of Daath - The Grand Torturers of Hell
Oh boy… Yet another “Grim” Black Metal band that pushes the boundaries of bad production, bad music or in this case, both. Cult of Daath sounds like they heard Satanic Blood by Von and said, “Hey, this one-riff Black Metal thing is kind of cool! We don’t have to come up with more than one set of three chords!” Unfortunately, the result is one-dimensional and the production makes this sound like a badly recorded rehearsal tape. Add slightly distorted Cookie Monster vocals over the top and you get a good idea of what this band sounds like. Judging by their choice of covers, one of their main influences was Beherit and if that’s the case, they’ve done a good job of trying to recreate the style but not the originality. Beherit did this almost 10 years ago! Bestial Summoning, Von, Profanatica and Blasphemy did this sort of thing and at the time, it was cool because it was all about feeling over polished sound and nobody else was doing it. Today, we have bands like Cult of Daath who don’t have the feeling or the originality. It’s okay to borrow an idea but do something with it! Copying something a decade old might get you some nostalgia but ultimately, if I wanted to listen to The Oath of Black Blood, I’d listen to The Oath of Black Blood - not something like this.
