Ov Hell: The Underworld Regime


This is a fresh release from the duo known as Ov Hell, who actually are:
  1. Shagrath (all vocals)- Dimmu Borgir
  2. King (bass)- Ex-Gorgoroth
But not so fresh is the music- don't get me wrong, it's still lethal black metal from these key individuals of the music genre- we know who they are, we know what to expect. You'd swear you hear Gorgoroth in this offering simply because King wrote much music prior to his departure from the aforementioned band; that signature gallop riff is unmistakable. What you would enjoy from this collection of tunes is the menacing delivery. Much black metal out there, especially today, are watered down by time; as a BM band progresses, majority see the turn to palatable ear fodder rather necessary. I enjoy this release despite the sombre reviews everywhere.

1-pickup guitars do appeal to me but not all models. Wolber's Jackson does not possess this bottom end chunk i'd like to hear when playing heavy music.
