It is a serious proposition that one of your bandmates insists on dressing up as Hellraiser's Pinhead; in addition to the higher propensity for injury, this could be seen as a paltry attempt in drawing attention...
However, theatrics & visual entertainment aside, once you spin
Urgehal's latest offering,
Ikonoklast, it's proof that the Pinhead manifestation is merely an artistic expression pertaining to the band's nefarious nature. Enzifer & T Nefas are capable guitarists, the riffs offered in this release are above average, the solos very tasteful in punctuating the music. Careful listening would reveal the capacity of these players, they are technically adept in their expressions but enough said. I guess, if you are not a fan of this music, however exalted the players are, they won't be as appealing as Vai & Satriani but that's the standing in the other guitar planet. In planet black metal, appeal is measured with another yardstick, not used by the average music critic of course.
