Who feels sturdy enough to endure an hour of harsh, depressive and hateful Black Metal torture should not hesitate a second and get the new DRAUGAR album, which is like label-fellows LEVIATHAN’s and XASTHUR’s works relatively tasteful driven by a drumming machine and utilizes fast possessed parts as well as melancholic, atmospheric acoustic guitars. Sheer aggression and forlorn moods are the two musical extremes mixed on “Weathering The Curse” and though this kind of Black Metal is a little too much for me with its dissonant, tormenting riffs and lengthy songs, worshippers of the aforementioned bands should embrace DRAUGAR as well. I don’t know Hildolf’s (who is the sole creator behind all this) other albums “Silence And Suffering” (2002) and “From Which Hatred Grows” (2003), but expect them to be as nasty and uncompromising as his newest work. The Moribund Records website has an MP3 file available, so check it out, it’s quite representative for the whole album… www.moribundcult.com.
