Unfortunately, they sound too sloppy, akin to Japanese BARBATOS, especially in the vocals where you can't make out a single word... right up to the finale of the fourth track, where the band suddenly performs the refrain in terrible russian language:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u041c\u044b \u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0435\u043c\u0441\u044f \u043e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u043c<br \/>\n\u041b\u0435\u0441 \u0438 \u043d\u0430\u0448\u044c \u043c\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0435\u0440, \u043d\u0430\u0448\u0438\u043c \u0434\u043e\u043c\u043e\u043c<br \/>\n\u041c\u044b \u043d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0433\u0434\u043e \u043d\u0435 \u0432\u044b\u0439\u0434\u043e\u043c \u0438\u0437 \u043b\u0435\u0441\u0430<br \/>\n\u0417\u0430\u0431\u044b\u043b\u0430 \u0438\u0437 \u043a\u0443\u0434\u0430 \u044f \u0438 \u0447\u0435\u043c \u0431\u044b\u043b\u0430<br \/>\n\u044d\u0442\u043e\u0442 \u043a\u0430\u043c\u0435\u043d \u0432\u044b\u0437\u044b\u0432\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u043c\u043d\u0435<br \/>\n\u0412\u043e\u043a\u0440\u0443\u0433 \u0434\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0432\u0430, \u043c\u043e\u0445, \u0442\u0430\u043a \u043a\u0430\u043a \u0432 \u0441\u043d\u0435<br \/>\n\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0439 \u0436\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0438 \u0431\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0448\u0435 \u043d\u0435\u0442<\/em><\/p>\n<p>All this, of course, is entertaining and cheerful, but still somehow uninteresting.

IRAE has always been a perfect Black Metal band of perhaps the most unpopular type: such formations remain within the Black Tradition, you can't find fault in their beliefs and behavior, but their music is never \u201centertaining\u201d or \u201cinteresting\u201d. IRAE spews clots of pure hatred into this world year after year, and he doesn't give a fuck about catchy riffs or exquisite compositions. \"Assim na Terra como no Inferno\" takes a step forward in the sense that there are some arrangements and attempts to give the songs a peculiar character. But the anti-human and anti-trend essence of the band remains unchanged, and because of this, my respect for IRAE only increases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 754px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=452755799\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=e32c14\/package=3680582357\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irae666.bandcamp.com\/album\/assim-na-terra-como-no-inferno\">Assim na Terra como no Inferno by Irae<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>87-\u044b \u0432\u044b\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a \u043a\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0445 \u0430\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u045e.
