For years Temple Of Baal has been twisting and turning its self-created muddy pool of dirty, underground satanic worship. Their new album is called ‘Lightslaying Rituals’ and it will definitely give the dyed in the wool occultist some pleasant hours of dark listens. The premises for Temple Of Baal are actually pretty simple: you turn your distortion all the way up until your nearing the dirty frequencies of, say, Arkhon Infaustus and you go through your songs on various catchy tempos.
You could call this one-dimensional, however ‘effective’ would be a better choice of words. Without much ado nine intriguing death incantations are rammed relentlessly into your brain. You simply do not get a chance to say no to them. With exactly the right proportions between the catchy speed of thrash, the sheer bluntness of death and the creepy atmospheres of black, Temple Of Baal make it practically impossible to ignore the sheer quality of ‘Lightslaying Rituals’. It is amazing how incredibly addictive simplicity can be!
