Endstille: Verfuhrer

Just finished listening to Endstille's latest, Verfuhrer. You won't like this band, the guitars are nothing but a drone generator, imagine the sound of a swarm of killer hornets while you get your band going- amplified, that is. However, this is my kinda band, the guitars aren't compelled to manifest any technicalities, they just get the music going appropriately; relentless anger.

You also won't like this band because of its mono capacity; the songs which unfold are pretty similar in delivery. It's not an ace in variety but it's what black metal is all about. Unlike it's predecessor, Verfuhrer does display a more appealing song structure. Nevertheless, this is what I want to listen to.

Endstilles Reich

The most well-known black metal band coming from Germany is arguably Marduk but there is another equally influential band in the country's black metal annals which deserves worthy mention: Endstille.

This band makes no apologies for being quite singular in their black metal approach- one which is rather excessive in war relations & brazen guitar with very little opportunity to showcase

palm dampening (that chugga-chugga sound to the rest of us). Nevertheless, Endstill is very capable in showcasing what black metal should constitute but the critics might have a field day in naming Enstilles Reich as the one which triggers definite boredom. Fans would disagree, of course, because Endstille is essentially, simply that.
