NEPENTE - I Will Get Your Soul

Colombian black/deathsters Nepente are back with a stop-gap four-song EP before album number two drops, all nuance being tossed out the window after the quiet intro stops and the band takes a sudden left turn into pure blasting no-frills black, where things remain for the rest of this fiesty disc. But I say "deathsters" because Nepente can't deny the occasional dip into the swamps of the Tardy brothers' Florida, as on the cool tune "Show Me That You Are Suffering."

But that song also takes time to blast fast and furious and cold and slicing, the aforementioned death only breaks in the blackened blasting, the temperatures going from dripping humid to freezing cold just like that, this band showing a great amount of control and power here. Not sure if it's because of the shorter run time or if they're just getting better, but their debut, Suffering Is The Seed, didn't quite have this amount of intensity to it. So, a nice step ahead; looking forward to seeing if they can keep up the energy levels, and the interest, for a full-length next time out.
