Ferocious and grim black metal with deranged riffs and an anti-religious theme will always remain a classic within the genre.But when these elements are ignited by the rebellious fervor and crushing dynamism of death metal, a new and formidable entity is born—one that, in this instance, answers to the name Temple of Decay. The second full-length offering of the Polish solo project, “Anti Deus”, erupts like a cataclysmic storm, unleashing waves of merciless fury and a bloodthirsty yearning for apocalypse, leaving no refuge for the faint of heart.
From start to finish, “Anti Deus” is an unrelenting barrage of blackened fury, delivering on its promise of a merciless black incantation. Each of the six tracks surges with relentless intensity, blending speed, aggression, and atmosphere in equal measure. Rapid-fire blast beats thunder beneath a storm of distorted riffs and death metal hooks, while an array of vocal styles—ranging from guttural screams to shamanic chants and piercing black metal shrieks—spans a vast emotional and sonic spectrum. The album’s sinister aura is further elevated by the inclusion of groovy death metal segments, whose menacing rhythm provides a striking contrast to the raw, cutting edge of the riffs and the sheer ferocity of the pummeling drums. The interplay between brutality and groove feels deliberate, crafting a sonic balance that is both ferocious and hypnotic. Altogether, “Anti Deus” emerges as a fiercely sinister creation, a testament to the fusion of black and death metal’s most uncompromising elements while carving its own malevolent identity.
A call to war, a relentless cry of rebellion, “Anti Deus” channels an unyielding fury against the divine, echoing through every blistering note and savage scream. Free of censorship and unshackled by the chains of convention, it embraces its raw, untamed essence, exuding a primal rage that feels both ancient and eternal. This is no mere collection of songs—it is a thunderous proclamation of darkness, a testament to the unrelenting spirit of black and death metal at its most uncompromising form. “Anti Deus” doesn’t simply challenge the divine; it rips through the celestial veil with unrelenting fury, leaving a path of auditory destruction in its aftermath—a blasphemous hymn for the rebellious and the forsaken.
