Customer Reviews of Work Which Transforms God
Cavernous, bleak, and dissonant Work which creates cognitive dissonance in the minds of the holy. This a soundscape completely devoid of anything positive or hopeful in this world. Before listening to this album, I thought songs like "Over Fjell Og Gjennom Torner" by Darkthrone, "Thy Legions Come" by Dark Funeral or something from Burzum's back catalog was bleak. Blut Aus Nord is a new progession of evil. The feel is cavernous, giving an added dimension not seen enough of in black metal. Music inspired by theology myths of the depths of hell I would think. Blut Aus Nord will have the grim minded smiling from ear to ear.
a genre redefining classic
Far from the Norse birth ground of the genre, the mostly moribund and commercialised black metal scene is being ripped apart by artists who are re-defining the definition of black.
French band, Blut Aus Nord (Blood From North) are one such group, and with their latest release The Work Which Transforms God they have managed to produce an album which is quite simply evil.
Most modern black metal has eschewed the garage production that characterised the early genre classics. In keeping with this trend, The Work Which Transforms God possesses a stark but far from digitally perfect sound, guitars are in the fore, vocals and bass get less focus and are barely discernible. Where present, keys are punched quite high in the mix. The drums are clearly from a machine but clever arrangements and layering manage to avoid veering into industrial territory.
Musically Blut Aus Nord have a heavy focus on atmosphere with more than half the tracks devoid of trademark black metal vocals and hyper-speed guitars. These tracks are true mood pieces featuring extensive use of semitone harmonics and discordant modes. By virtue of contrast, the impact of the handful of tracks that fit the more traditional black metal mould is significantly enhanced.
Stylistically one notices much influence drawn from far outside the traditional metal founts. In particular, there are significant post punk and experimental/noise guitar elements featured in the slower paced tracks. This contrasts against the deliberate omission of jazz, neo classical, electronic and prog elements that many other blackened artists have dabbled with.
These elements all combine to give the work a harsher and pre-meditated tone of transformed chaos featuring demonic vocals and ruptured semi tone harmonics.
A significant improvement on the bands previous releases, this studio masterpiece just gets better with repeated listens as more and more layers are revealed.
Highly recommended for all fans of extreme metal and extreme horror soundtracks, but be warned this is not for the faint hearted.
Definitely gets my vote for Black Metal release of the year!
