### Moloch: Stiller Schrei des Winters

#### 06/05/13 || BamaHammer

This is a compilation album by a one-man Ukrainian black metal outfit with a total of 81 fucken releases (demos, splits, compilations, full-lengths, EPs, old shitty cassettes, etc, etc., et fucken cetera) according to their Metal Archives page. What the unholy fuck am I reviewing here?

For the four of you fuckos who are still reading this after that introduction, it’s definitely some crusty, nasty black metal from a dude who is pretty fucken tr00, to be honest. It’s not particularly great or anything, but it is very dark and grim, and if you’re looking for something along those lines, this may do the trick. Also, according to the band’s page, “This release is a compilation of old, rare and most important tracks from 10 years Moloch activity”. Fucken awesome. Glad I’m listening to it. The musicianship on here is borderline garbage, and the riffs are almost boring, but I think it actually adds to this guy’s charm. Vocals consist of monotonic chants that give way to wailed Varg-esque shrieks at times, and it definitely creates a seriously misanthropic atmosphere. The production is everything you’d expect from a tape that was recorded and mastered with your uncle’s old Tascam 4-track. If you’re into the grimmest fucken necrohell imaginable, it couldn’t hurt to give this shit a try. You can even try to track down one of the 100 tape copies out there.

7/10 cave trolls agree. This shit’s decent.
