Kingdom Of The Dead
(From Beyond Productions / Displeased Records)
64:50min
If you are interested in extreme Metal from exotic places BAZZAH from Malaysia should be another valuable addition to your collection: Rawest ultra-primitiiiiiiive Black Metal à la VON, GORGOROTH, BATHORY, BEHERIT, old IMPALED NAZARENE or NAKED WHIPPER, totally wicked and maybe even a little “cult” although I prefer to use this term with caution… The 65 minutes of blasphemous violence offered here consist of the latest BAZZAH release “Kingdom Of The Dead” (Track 1-11) recorded in 2003 and the extremely hard to find “Death Is All I See” debut (Track 12-19) excreted in the year 2000. Fans of the aforementioned bands and obscure acts from Asia that still exhale the true possession and hatred many western hordes fail to deliver with their music nowadays should try out BAZZAH who sound as if the early 90s have never ended!!! Especially the new stuff is pretty cool and has a strong VON feel with more blackish vocals and some BATHORY-ian solos… I think it is superfluous to tell you something about the production or other crap, this is what most people call utter simplistic noise, but apart from that I know that there a lot of maniacs totally addicted to such antireligious anti-art and I bet you are the ones who’ll love this! So surf to www.displeasedrecords.com, check out the MP3 file to be found in the “sounds” section and indulge in the primitive, unholy BAZZAH! Band contact: unholybazzah@yahoo.com
