STORM OF EVIL – GRAVESTONED ( Review by Varg The Mighty )

Today’s review is of American One Man Black Metal band Storm Of Evil’s second album.

Considering its quality, it really is a demo, but that doesn’t mean it has some interesting moments. While most songs are quite typical Black Metal, perhaps Black Death Metal, there are some moments that tend towards War Metal without fully reaching it that sound pretty well. In fact, with this mix of violence, simple riffs and unique voice songs like “Fucked Til’ Death” and “Chalice Of Rancid Death” really sound like “Oath Of Black Blood”-era Beherit.

The album also has 2 interludes: “Devilsong”, an acoustic that sounds kind of dark but much too long and the odd electronic “Defending The Blasphemous Honor”, which fits better with the album. Overall this release isn’t one of the best, but it sure has some nice proto War Metal songs in it.

I recommend this album to fans of Black Metal, Black Death Metal and War Metal. My rating is of 7,5/10.
