LORD BELIAL - Unholy Crusade Digi-CD

This is the work that made me love metal. I bought it after receiving Rhapsody’s ‘Symphony of Enchanted Lands’ as a gift. I was in search of something stronger and darker; ‘Unholy Crusade’ came to me as a revelation. The fascinating cover reveals all the atmosphere you can find on this album: a great full moon shining in the night and all kind of dead and evil creatures preparing for a battle. In fact the album starts with the sounds of a battle, just a minute of ‘calm before the storm’; then it begins a violent drumming, backed with superb growling vocals and simple but captivating black riffs. Evil, rage and anger spread all over the tracks of this little masterpiece, the right thing to listen to when you need some outlet to overwhelming passions.
