Axeman - Arrive (Demo 2010)

Axeman is one of the newer bands on the Black Twilight Circle line-up. Although this demo has been out since 2010, it's only recently been released on vinyl. Up until recently, the only band I'd heard of on the Black Twilight line-up was Volahn -- but that was years ago. Basically BTC play orthodox black metal with LLN style production/mythos attached to it (though in my opinion, the quality and style of each band is pretty variable). 

From what I've heard thus far, the BTC stuff is pretty hit and miss for me, although I do enjoy this demo quite a bit. . Basically Arrive sounds like a cross between Arise! era Amebix and Morbid Tales era Celtic Frost with LLN production slapped over top of it. This is one of the few releases I would recommend buying on vinyl/finding a vinyl rip of, because you want all the sound quality you can get on it. Some of the songs are a bit lengthy for what they are, but overall it's a solid piece of crust-influenced black metal. 

This release has been blogged about to death lately, and there's not much more to say about it, other than you can buy it on black vinyl at the Crepusculo Negro webstore (link below). Enjoy!
