What the hell? This is Divina Enema, a band considered to play nothing but a horrible amalgamation of folk, funk, black metal, psychedelic, and industrial. Many people that have listened to this album have called it "the worst thing they've ever heard". I find it to be quite great. When I saw that it got a 0% rating on Metal-Archives, I simply had to check it out.
I'm glad I did. This isn't horrible in the sense of LLN black metal, where there is no music present, this horrible in the sense that it is the pinnacle of unnerving, discomforting, bizarre music. The vocals are strange crooning wails courtesy of vocalist Yaroslav Burakoff, the music is anything from catchy folk to dismemberingly weird soundscapes of doom. It is fairly reminiscent of "La Masquerade Infernale" by Arcturus on some tracks, a true gem. The standout track for me is hands down, "God Bless You, Bastards". It weaves Arcturus' brand of metal with great jazz guitar passages, and the whole thing has a great feel to it. Just listen to it, and "enjoy".
