Nuclear Desecration - Desecrated Temple of Impurity

So around the time this album came out, metal was up to it's eardrums in bestial metal. Things seem to be slowly refocusing to a more "traditionally satanic" style, but there's still a LOT of bestial metal coming out -- a lot of it not particularly memorable or good. For those that may not know, the term 'bestial' is usually used to describe black or death metal that's considerably rawer than the traditional style -- less technique, more speed, noise and distortion. Lyrical themes also tend to be focused on satanism, goats, the impending nuklear holocaust, or all three. Moving on though...

Despite coming out during an influx bestial metal, Nuclear Desecration's full-length album is quite fantastic. It's a really good, solid example of what quality bestial black metal should sound like. Even though it's technically generic in the sense that it fits exactly what bestial black metal is supposed to sound like to a T, it ends up being more of a benchmark album than anything else.. You've got everything: goats, gasmasks, impending nuklear destruction, noize, satan, BLACK FUCKING METAL!

It's unfortunate that they were only around a couple of years, because they'd probably be right up there with bands like Blasphemophagher and Proclamation in terms of notoriety if they continued to produce material as good as this. Ah well. Enjoy!
