It has been philosophized that at every moment the universe destroys itself, then recreates itself just as quickly. If this were true, the only appropriate emotion for any human to have is a state of constant, yet pleasant surprise. Now, this theory does sound like a pile of absurd bullshit to me, but it seems like it can be appropriately applied to this bizarre form of black metal that Hail Spirit Noir put forth. Read more ›› |

"When All Is Black" sounds like Heroes Del Silencio playing black metal. And it sounds awesome.

Thumbs up for the band's effort. It's very original despite the fact that it has elements from long forgotten musical genres.

I finally got around to check this out and must say that, while the BM aspect is rather light, it corresponds to the lightheartedness of the whole effort which is what makes it all come together so well. There are some sections that seem a bit disjointed and "Let your devil..." does feel a bit weak, but this is really catchy and interesting metal.

This album just oozes of playful creativity and is so much fun to listen to. It has a very distinct sound that I instantly fell in love with. Much of this is due to the contrast between the consistent, almost creepy, psychedelic undertones and the straight up catchy craziness from time to time. If I had to complain about something, it would probably have to be that the clean vocals sometimes had a tendancy to annoy me ever so slightly. But at the same time they do have a sense of charm about them which suits the music quite nicely so it is not that big of a deal.

I imagine this guys vocal work would honestly go well on a soundtrack to some old western film.

Posts: 5989 Written by Erik M. on 04.05.2014 at 01:12 Yeah, I'm also gonna have to disagree with you there. Oi Magoi is great, but I think it lacks some of the tongue in cheek playfulness that made this one so good. There's nothing quite like "KILL YOUR MOTHER WHILE YOU'RE STILL IN HER WOMB!" or "YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, YOU KNOW!" on OM
