REVIEW: INFERI - THE CALL OF THE DARK SIDE

 

INFERI - THE CALL OF THE DARK SIDE (Furias Records - 2000): Directly from Argentina and to the world comes Inferi, one of the few black metal bands from the local scene. This is a band that does not play only the most raw aspects of de style, but also the most rhythmic and subtle things. (see the Sabbath-like riff from "Riding from Apocalypse (1:34)). Using climatic riffs like the ones that open "The Call of the dark Side" and using different types of vocals they manage to create interesting textures in the style of bands like Dimmu Borgir ("For All Tid" era). Very interesting work from Fabrizio Andrada on guitaras and the rhythmic base of Ariel Canca on bass and Sebastián Rodríguez on keyboards and drums. The songs on this CD have been recorded in the Bunker Studios from Buenos Aires and it was mixed and mastered by Marina Rapallo and Alejandro Caputo and the overall sound is really good. Maybe I would use a more potent guitar sound and would put a little bit down the drums cymbals, but that is a matter of tastes. Favorite tracks: "Rivers of Blood , Flow from Hell", "Riding from Apocalypse" and "They will never escape from Destiny". Contact: furias@ssdnet.com.ar
