That being said, the guitar tone on “The Shadowplane” is so piercing that it literally makes my teeth hurt, and the fervor of “Demonic Worship of the Horned Beast” makes me want to pour lines of salt in front of my speakers for fear of what else may come spilling out while playing that song.īlasphemy From Serpent Tongues LP by Hellgoat With a run time of less than half an hour, it should really be experienced as a whole. Like with most black metal of this style, everything starts to blend together after a few tracks.

It’s kind of pointless to try to discuss individual songs on the record. To these ears, it sounds like it could have been a template for a lot of what’s currently happening in the Portuguese scene, and regular readers of this site well know how much I enjoy those bands. I have no doubt that if played loudly enough, Blasphemy From Serpent Tongues could abrade skin. The overall production makes it sound like the album was recorded in a wind tunnel in the middle of a resistance test. The vocals are even lower in the mix and sound like the pained howls of a man possessed by demons. The drums are buried so low in the mix that only the hi-hat is consistently audible. The guitar tone is occasionally so trebly that it borders on the shrill. The last of the Hellgoat releases that Amon Demogorgon recorded as a solo project, the album takes the primitive, lo-fi cacophony of early Burzum and Von and cranks up the rawness to the point where it’s almost physically painful to listen to, which somehow makes me perversely happy.ĭepending on how one feels about kvlt black metal, the album’s defining characteristics will either be a massive selling point or a major deterrent. Over that span, they’ve released numerous demos, EPs, and splits, along with three full-lengths - the first of which, 2005’s Blasphemy From Serpent Tongues, is about to get the vinyl reissue treatment from Boris Records. Atlanta’s Hellgoat have been toiling away in the USBM underground for over a decade now.
