To Mega Therions debut CD clocks in at over an
hour and is packed with enough brutality to fill
twice that length. Project founder Tyler Viscerine
calls his music style black noise, paying homage
to both his influences: extreme metal and extreme
electronics, but the emphasis is definitely on
noise. Black metal influences become apparent
through Satanic samples, but this isnt some spooky
instrumental CD you can put on in the background
while you play at being Faustus. This is more like
the aftermath of an invocation gone wrong, all
wreckage and sulphur smoke. Purification Ritual
is a baptism in brimstone with its relentlessly
pounding rhythm, and the beats on The Sermon of
Setekh are so distorted youll think youve blown
your speakers. Book of Enoch is a grim
snare-driven death march, while The Sons of
Asmodeus washes bone-crushing breakbeats in
growling feedback and distorted screams. We Are
Immortal is the most club-ready offering, thanks
to a catchy sample and a faster tempo, while
epic-length The Brotherhood of Sleep best
captures Viscerines multiple influences, evolving
from jackhammer snares and thrashing guitar loops
to funereal soundtrack strings. Noise scene
luminaries like Ah Cama-Sotz and W.A.S.T.E. fill
things out with remixes, but its two comparatively
unknown acts that steal the show. Embodis
appropriately titled Zombie A-Go-Go Mix of
Purification injects an undercurrent of voodoo
percussion that gives things a unique tribal
flavor, while Vuxnut, the solo project of
W.A.S.T.E. founder Shane Englefield, extends Book
of Enoch into an epic-length orchestral ambient
piece, dropping the beats out almost entirely in
favor apocalyptic synth textures. While a lot of To
Mega Therions music is almost too extreme for club
play, underground noise fans are going to dig The
Blood Rituals its evil, its heavy, its
relentless, and its loud enough to make you
suffer.
