In the late 1340s, a cataclysmic plague shook medieval Europe to its core. The bacterial disease known to us as the Black Death swept westward across the continent, leaving a path of destruction from Crimea and Constantinople to Italy, France, Spain, and ultimately most of Europe, traveling as far west as England and Iceland. Within these locations, the plague killed up to 50% of the population in less than 10 years—a staggering 75 million dead.
“Black Death”, is a death metal album. It’s not the best sample of the genre that you can find out there but it’s decent one . It”s groovie and it actually rolls, I wouldn’t say that it can be described as a death n roll album but has it’s moments. The blending of traditional with modern death metal doesn’t find me on the opposite side while the use of both death and black metal vocals is a nice stroke of the brush. On other hand, they don’t bring anything new in the genre and the result is a typical death metal album. But that, sometimes, it’s not so bad at all – people tend to like their music as it is – with no surprises.
