Cruel, pain-infused themes fill Bestial Kruzifix666ion’s playing time, most of which is made out of a hybrid of dirt-caked old school death metal and frost-flecked crusty black metal. “Morbid Psychotic Distortion Part 1” kicks things off with a throatful of sputum and a handful of fast-picked riffs, while the next one, “Spirit, Dust and Magic,” takes a slower, more classic Death Metal approach to its intro, but it quickly lurches into murky-cold Black Metal  territory. “Sabbath ov Mist” and “Dissected Dominion in Blood,” like others on the album, lean on a demanding, militaristic, snare-driven sound, while “Conquering Apocalypse” is a full-on death march. It’s the skill put forth, the fury that is emanated, and the seamless fusion of death, black and thrash that make this underground metal match made in hell work so well.

To sum things up, if your thing tends to lean toward the extreme side of things but primitive yearnings remain important factors in what soaks into your brain, then Bleeding Fist will appeal to you. Bestial Kruzifix666ion evokes latent memories of wars both modern and ancient with a commanding, heart-ripping attitude that is not for the timid or those who prefer their metal to be spit-shined. Bleeding Fist delivers 100% evil, razor-riffing chaos.
