BIT Mixtape #13 – Great Satan

Posted on April 27, 2017 by degtyarov in Podcast // 1 Comment

This short mixtape reminds us that black metal is in many ways incompatible with the spirit of modernity. While some black metal evades modernity altogether, there are bands out there that charge it heads-on. ‘Great Satan’ is dedicated to the latter variant, and offers insensitive and repulsive, but also superior and sardonic black metal.

In America, Christ wears a sesame seed crown.

Is Moloth actually black metal, though?
Not musically, at least.
In fact, not ideologically either.
Peste Noire themselves seem closer to Punk in SPIRIT, although their early music somewhat approaches black metal.
Moloth, though, clearly not black metal in any sense.
