English translation:
Uff, where to start, apart from the fact that the album just blew me away from the first listening? Now I'm playing it for the x-time already and I can't get enough. "Frater Superior" is the fourth demo of the Italian Vexev and the first one that I had the opportunity to listen to (but I will make up for it, because it's totally worth it!). The band creates raw black metal, with great keyboard backgrounds (they create an atmosphere that is hard to find). I dare say that they are just as important here as the guitars, both sections go hand in hand like a solid wall of sound. The album is occult, ritualistic in its aesthetics, full of devilish, mystical aura. "Frater Superior" sounds like a black metal score to some ritual taking place in a forgotten temple, cave, in the dark, by the light of candles, with the scent of blood and incense floating in the air. I really liked how the band combined a powerful rhythm section, boosted the whole instrumentation with reverb - giving the material an echo of space, and the vocal served raw, crackling like from some very old demo, when access to good quality equipment was unaccesible for underground bands. It works together givig an amazing experience! It's April and from what I heard, at the moment there is no black metal material that would appeal to much that much and enchant me to the bone. They even surpassed Akathartos, which I also rated very highly. I'm waiting for something equally good, if not, this is the album of the year for me in the subject of black metal! I have spoken!
