CLANDESTINE BLAZE - FIST OF THE NORTHERN DESTROYER
Listening
to Clandestine Blaze, with this album but also with the two previous, I can feel
what is in those days hidden inside the glorious past history of black metal.
The Clandestine Blaze dark sensibility have its immortal roots in the early
’90, when some guys talk about what Immortal or Satyricon are playing thinking
about how cool they’re probably they have never heard the true grimness that
can be find in those songs. The voice is really something evil but not too
screamed, is like someone "reading" pages revealing doomed words. The
music is mainly played in a fast way, riffs with an incredible surrounding
energy and then there are some slow part, to grow the already strong pathos,
like a whisper of destiny. In "Fist of the Northern Destroyer" the
time is stopped and nothing change, and this is the strong point, the cruel snow
cover everything, centuries of human creation are abominated, there’s no time
for joy, head-bang, only the vibration of death and after
that"silence"seen through the veil of what others can’t stand.
