Urgehal - Death Is Complete
I understand that this 7-inch EP is supposed to be “Necro and back to the roots of ugly Black Metal.” Well, mission accomplished. Everything about this is raw and noisy, from the simplistic music, to the painfully wretched vocals, to what could be humorously called “the production.” The title track is the more horrible of the two here, especially the sloppy drumming, which was apparently done by Urgehal main-man Trondr Nefas himself, who should really stick to his usual guitar and vocal cackles. The other song, “Beyond the Nightmare,” is more tolerable, at its slower tempos even sounding a little like Celtic Frost. I had never heard Urgehal before this, despite this Norwegian Black Metal horde having been around for nearly twenty years, so I don’t know if this is the band’s normal style/sound, but if I had to guess I’d think that it’s more refined than this. It would almost have to be. Death Is Complete is strictly for Urgehal completists only - if such a thing exists.
