RIYL: fuzzed out black metal

I’m actually not sure how much I like this one. I think I like it more in concept than execution. Burning Church Forest has a kick-ass black metal name. They have glorious album artwork. It is a free download off of Archive.org. The band members hail from the darkest parts of Australia, Africa, and Asia. Perhaps my issue is with the recording quality. Now, black metal is known (and even revered) for bad recording quality (heck, a lot of it even gets distributed on cassette tape ONLY), and this is even better than a lot of the truly underground black metal. But I think perhaps the super-fuzzed-out guitar tone is not as effective as they think it is. Still, these are solid songs in the realm of repetitive, hypnotic black metal songcraft. Definitely worth the free download to check out.
