SAMMATH - Godless Arrogance

Despite its rigid linearity and obsession with 'true'-based conformity, one of black metal's most prominent fascination streets is its ability to be multifaceted in the face of its own conservatism. Long-running Netherlands-based black metal call-for-war Sammath knows this and isn't afraid to indulge in the many sides of all those shards of broken glass: in channeling '90s Marduk, early Darkthrone and even the primitive undertones of proto-black innovator Sarcofago, Sammath creates a whole that is raw, unsteady and jagged, Godless Arrogance simultaneously acting as both haze and barbed wire (or barbed wire in that haze?). Keeping things mostly uptempo throughout, Sammath doesn't invent, or even re-invent, a single thing, but this band's greatest strength might be in the atmosphere of utter decay and ruin it presents.
