NARGAROTH - RASLUKA PT. II (mini-cd) 

The underground black metal scene isn’t surely dead, and that German band, together with the Finland assault, is a demonstration of how it’s still possible to record strong black releases.
Keeping back the burzumish and epic sadness of their debut Nargaroth has done three superb songs of total melancholic depression and evil misanthropy. The strongest point in Nargaroth’s music is to express black sick depression with hate and evilness, and Rasluka is another example of that ability. Rasluka have "simple" riffs but made with a very deep emotive mood and a melodic, but for nothing commercial, sensibility. For sure "Rasluka..." is a lesson to all those band that are transforming black metal in a standard lesson, if there’s the right inspiration everything comes-out like that, the recording for example is harsh but not unprofessionally raw.
The monumental epic spirit of the northern black metal flame is still burning, without a single sign of weakness, and "Rasluka" is the highest danger in the temple of god.
