I’m also a fan of Rebel Extavaganza and on – actually, RE was downright progressive – imagine Robert Fripp Playing Black Metal. I like the minimal sound – and it ROX! Who says you can’t bang your head to pure evil??

I think there was Hammond organ on “Havok Vulture” from Rebel Extravaganza, but you’re right “Existential Fear-Questions” is different than anything they have done in the past.

I have all their albums. They definitely changed completely but I still liked their stripped-down, minimalist, more rocking approach to black metal. Kind of the band Khold always wanted to be, but it was just out of their grasp. They still have that clinical, alien feeling down pat, like you said, Gaba. Still, I would recommend starting with Dark Medieval Times but keep in mind Nemesis Divina is their best work. My 2 cents.

And I thought I was the only one on the planet who liked Now, Diabolical. I love the earlier “true BM” stuff, but that last full length would have been heralded if released by another band. Know what I mean?

Anyways, good review and let’s see what they do in the future.

start at the beginning (Dark Medieval Times, Shadowthrone, Nemesis Divina) and work your way forward. There was a massive shift in their sound after Nemesis – it’s cool, but I (and most other people, I think) far prefer their early work.
