WILT – “Ruin” Review

WILT – “Ruin” Review
Reviewed by Andrew Risch

Hailing from the frigid winters of Canada, Wilt unleashed their second album, Ruin, last year.
Since it’s release, Wilt has began to amass quite a following (and rightfully so). Full of dark,
ambient and atmospheric Black Metal, Wilt’s sophomore release takes the listener on a
melancholy spiritual journey into a realm of entertaining dark and depressive Black Metal. The
production comes out rich and vibrant, but not over produced, lending to a satisfying blackened
sound.
Jordan Dorge’s harrowing vocals act as a guide through the bleak darkness and perfectly meld
the music together. At times the vocals feel distant, which works quite well with the overall
nihilistic feeling that Ruin manages to accomplish. The riffs on this album come off as somber
and heavily Doom influenced with many tracks exceeding 7 minutes for plenty of thick, sludgy
listening.
Ruin is the perfect soundtrack as you travel “Into the Unknown.” Wilt does an excellent job
melding Doom Metal with Atmospheric Black Metal for a truly dark and disturbed listen.

Available in digital, cd, and vinyl formats on Wilt’s Bandcamp Page

Wömit Angel “Under Sadistic Pressure” Review

Wömit Angel “Under Sadistic Pressure” Review
Reveiwed by: Andrew Risch

Finnish metallers Wömit Angel’s latest release is pure Black and punky thrash fury that will make you want to immediately fuck shit up in the pit. With plenty of punk inspired riffing, deprived vocals and a good mix of blasphemous themes played at a breakneck speed, this album is a go to when you need a quick fix of gut stomping metal. Pissed off and extreme, Wömit Angel’s 4th LP is an assault on one’s ear drums and I mean that in a good way. Picking a favorite track proved to be a little difficult. “I Kill Everything I Fuck,” comes off like a dirty anthem that is meant to be sang along with at full volume and full punk swagger. “Slaughterburster,” is a high octane descent into Blackened Thrash madness and “Ominous Bloodletting Ritual,” is not only a fantastic song title but a great track as well that perfectly sums up the feel and sound of Wömit Angel.

To simplify, Under Sadistic Pressure is a fun listen. I know I may be getting some weird looks from the crowd especially when using the “F” word when describing a Black Metal album. But this is a highly energetic punk/thrash journey that even the most elite Black Metal fans will find themselves thrashing to.

 

 

Wömit Angel “Under Sadistic Pressure” is available now in digital, cd, and vinyl format from Reaper Metal Productions.
