Bahimiron/Unchrist - Last of the Confederates

Trying to forge a sound out of black metal is difficult because 
like a new universe, it expanded and diversified so rapidly as 
to become a wide field of options formed from the same basic 
elements. Bahimiron have taken the grimy, gnarled, ugly and 
digestive black metal of their debut EP and infused it with an 
Impaled Nazarene-style sense of all-ahead-go, taking the best 
of "war metal" and making out of it simple melodic hooks like 
were found on the first two Gorgoroth albums and other classics 
of violent, primitive black metal. About every other song really 
captures a sense of epic emotion rising out of disorder, and the 
others, like the first Krieg album, succumb to their own chaos 
and fade into the background noise. There's a good sense of 
dynamic here, especially on the majestic 
"Blackest Morning Coming Down" and "Texas Witch Hammer," which 
are the real reasons to own this CD. The latter ends with a 
Burzum-style lead rhythm solo that sounds straight out of 
Ancient and an Oi band making sweet love. Unchrist, on the other 
hand, are trying to be -- much like Phil Anselmo's project 
Christ Inverted -- a classic deconstruction act, tearing music 
down into its very basics and doing so at high speed with unique 
aesthetic. Like all things deconstructive, it converges on the 
ghetto into which punk fit itself, and despite catchy rhythms 
never goes anywhere. This fits it squarely into that place 
reserved for all extreme bands that are competent but never 
found anything to express, where we all shrug and ask 
"Why would I listen to that?"
