Zobibor - In Transylvania
For Zobibor’s first official release (the band’s only previous material is their Sodomatic Rape 2006 demo), this short (13 minutes) four-song EP has a fairly good sound. The guitars have a little more low-end in them than the average Black Metal band and they also have audible bass guitar on here too. Musically, this is fast and furious Punk-influenced Black Metal with some kick ass guitar soloing. I was never a big fan of guitar solos (I’m still not) but when a band does something well, I’m going to point it out. The soloing is pretty deadly. It hits hard, sounds well thought out and doesn’t degenerate into guitar wankery like so many solos do. I don’t know what took them five years to release new material, but this is enough to get me interested in hearing more from them. One of the problems with a short release is that there isn’t a whole lot to judge them on. I don’t have the demo (according to Encyclopaedia Metallum, it was limited to 50 copies) so I can’t say if they’ve progressed any since 2002, which is the listed year of their founding. This is short, tight, well-produced and it also serves the purpose it was probably intended: to get you interested in hearing more.
