in nomine dei nostri satanas luciferi excelsi

MZ.412 (1995)

This band seems to be greatly overlooked in the noise scene, perhaps its some of their silly Anton La Vey style imagery and lyrics but this is rather unfortunate. Some of the samples will definitely seem cheesy to someone not coming from the Black Metal genre, which seems to influence them, but the musical quality is very good. Great rumbling sounds and mechanical noises that are of course the trademark of Cold Meat bands, but of course MZ.412 was there in the early days they were one of the pioneers of this sound.

Track 3, Necrotic birth is one of the strongest on the album, it is one of the darkest tribal tracks i think ive ever heard, fast, almost African style drumming with faint wailings in the background, very ominous, like some dark Vodun ritual being performed. Some of the other material on the album is harsher reminding one a great deal of Brighter Death Now in style. The albums offers some great rhythmic tracks too, overall its a quite varied and interesting album.
