IN DEATH'S THROES - 'Infernal Deities Transcending' CD (Live Bait)
(1999) Debut album from this US act, released on the band's own labell. One half of IDT also being the man behind Murderous Vision, one can imagine what to expect here. A difficult CD with dark noisy atmospheres, enriched by deep, serious vocals. Some tracks have an uneasy feeling - drones, noises and repetition have a kind of intoxicating effect on the listener. Reminds me of Megaptera in places, whilst drenched in the saturating noise of other American artists such as Baal or Gruntsplatter. Heavy going!
