Genre: Black
Metal
In the bands
own words:
“Wytchfilth is a solo Black Metal band that was
originally formed in 2003 by sole member Grief as Witchking but disbanded in
2009. After numerous setbacks and
issues. This time round several demos were recorded but never properly
released, only sent through the Internet or given to friends.
In 2011 the
band was resurrected as Wytchfilth
with a slightly new direction and wider vision.
The demo E.P “The Void of Human Waste” was released in April 2013”
The tracks
encompass the themes of filth, darkness and misery and are influenced by
negativity, depravity, human suffering and The Occult so something to get your
fangs into there!
A Sixth Limbed Child
So you could
say Wytchfilth are “Back in Black”
This track is blacker than black with its extremities of far reaching evil. The
auditory onslaught is as sinister as it is extreme with rasping vocal that
really focuses on portraying a dark malevolent force.
A Drink to Malice
This has a very
slow beginning of eerie ambiance of hissing and buzzing and quite intriguing. A
low growl emanates and pursues a gravelly and most gnarly vocal amid clanking,
terrifying, even punishing rhythms that move clumsily but still manages to hit
dynamic proportions in its approach. It suddenly explodes into an almighty
flurry of events that wake you from the clumsiness and gives your ears a good
beating. This has to be my personal favorite as there is so much hidden in the
track and not just the usual black metal entourage. It’s doom, it’s gloom and
also very uplifting as it furthers into the track so containing amazing
elements and this is not even touching on samples – they are quite
extraordinary!
The Void of Human Waste
The title
track: This is pure black metal in the rawest form, with driving rhythms that
offer more evil in abundance than Hell itself! This has been superbly executed
and is a musical assault with its eerie sounds adding complexities like a
rasping screech to the mix. Grief is far from good here – (get it?) And not
hiding himself under a bushel – the gravelly onslaught reaches ferocious levels
as a pounding of beats usher forth like machine gun artillery fire – really gets
the blood pumping around your veins.
Where Nothing Exists and Nothing Speaks
More clunky eeriness
continues with gurgled, gnarly vocal noises that sounds like someone has had
their throat cut with a rusty blade! Harsh frequencies pummel the aural with
startling disarray. This track makes its own way to Hell and quite literally
drags you to it, as you experience first-hand the building complexities
contained within the fiery, yet doom elements of black metal especially the
dark heavy piano keys at the end of the track which adds in a nice dark somber essence.
To sum up:
If you like
eerie black madness, pummeling blackened beats with strange sampled voices
then this has to be a thumbs up for you! It has its terrifying moments of
hellish brutality and also contains more melancholic moments although short
lived, however, it possesses a lot of expression and diversity. Its rhythms can
go from slow and cumbersome to downright fast with lots of eerie ambiance that
captures intrigue. Once listening to this you will realize that Wytchfilth has indeed possessed your
soul – so listen with the lights on and take a torch to bed – just in case!
