Witchmaster
Antichristus ex utero

Polish witchmasters trying to bewitch potential fans with their black thrash metal, their fifth album is what we are dealing with here. The title is ridiculous for the normally giftet person, as is the so-called cover artwork that is probably made by a donkey. Not judging anything prematurely though, I think the selling point of the band having members from known polish bands of the genre is a pointless one. As is the one saying that they want to make extreme metal the way they think it should be done which means raw, violent ant filthy, not something that the normally gifted person see as interesting topics. Or is it?

The music is simple, cheap sounding, kind of like the ordinary basementy production that bands of the rawer extreme metal genre has to offer. Nothing for the sophisticated. Not really any variation just speedy music and rough growly vocals, monotoned and completely uninteresting. This is music for those initiated in the genre, for those not interested in melodies and depth in their musical enjoyments. The album feels quite long due to the lack of variation and this despite the fact that the album is only just over the half hour mark in playing time. It is an album for those who are initiated into the genre.

It is a very poor album, pointless in fact considering that there are millions and millions of albums that fit this album’s description. I always tend to reflect when working over albums like this one, can anyone really like an album like this? Is there really anyone who feels like listening to something good and play an album like this one? I highly doubt that. To me this is a complete piece of garbage with little or no redeeming features and to me this album deserves a spot in the garbage can rather than one on the mantlepiece.

No track is good, nothing is really interesting about this album and I recommend that you avoid it. But of course there will always be troglodytes who finds music such as this fascinating, those who will sit in their mouldy cave and listen to this album along with the dripping from the roof. But to me I think there is more value to chainsaw down a forest and listen to the noise of the saw and falling pine trees, both for the sonic health and the environment. Producing physical copies of albums like this is more of a crime against nature than a service to fans of music.
