Ars Macabra: III
17/05/13 || Cobal
Unlike most staffers around I don’t pre-hate Italian metal. Matter of fact, there’s one or two Italian acts among the list of my faves, except Ars Macabra is not one of them. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against this bunch of evil pandas playing occult black metal for fans of Watain and the likes. As for me, this is pretty worth-listening music and I’ll probably keep it for my collection. Indeed, it has its highs and lows, and I trully enjoyed listening to it. Once. Now, that doesn’t mean that I’ll remember their monicker, and if I ever hit the play button on their third full-length again, chances are I won’t be able to recognize a riff. That’s the problem with black metal these days.
6/10: Have you noticed the gamma of colours on their cover matches the site’s perfectly?
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
