I am glad that in\u00a0the darkness<\/del>\u00a0this world there are still unshakable truths and unbreakable bastions. If ARCHGOAT submit their new record, there should be no doubt about it's contents. True Black Metal of antiquity is a path from which some of His most faithful followers will never descend. Although \"antiquity\" is very relative word here, because the album sounds very modern. Even at the last LP, I was surprised that one of the dirtiest and most disgusting bands in the world suddenly decided to record with a completely distinctive sound. What is even more surprising, this sound did not reduced the degree of nauseous blasphemy. ARCHGOAT somehow manage to be themselves at any settings of the equipment, and this is an incredible rarity. \u201cThe Luciferian Crown\u201d is still better in terms of sound than \u201cThe Apocalyptic Triumphator\u201d. He is also clean and easily perceived but at the same time louder and tougher. As for music, it almost never moved from its place. Of course, ARCHGOAT should not change, but using the same successful arranging methods twice in a row is not a very reasonable tactic. The ambient inserts with the grunt of pigs on \u201cThe Luciferian Crown\u201d hit directly into the target, hinting at something indescribably disgusting and offensive towards the feelings of those who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The same inserts on the new album are already perceived as an inappropriate self-repetition. And this strange song \u201cDarkness Has Returned\u201d, which came out very punkish... Otherwise, there\u2019s nothing to complain about: ARCHGOAT is still capable of making killer primitive riffs and percussion parts that have a hypnotic effect even on a weary \u201cWar\u201d \/ \"Bestial\" Metal fan. Also I should note a minimal percentage of fresh ideas: for example, on the song \u201cStar of Darkness and Abyss\u201d you can hear an excellent keyboard part, bells and chorus. All this helps to understand music and lyrics much more deeply. ARCHGOAT continue to crush and desecrate, because this is their destiny. Cult never dies!<\/p>\n
