Impiety (Sgp) - Formidonis Nex Cultus
In the early 90s bands like Beherit and Blasphemy were playing some of the most brutal music ever heard in the underground. But things were also happening in the East and in 1992 Impiety unleashed Formidonis Nex Cultus upon an unsuspecting world. With this demo the band proved that they were a force to be reckoned with. Aside from the Blasphemy and Beherit influence I also hear influences from the old Colombian death metal horde Masacre. Another band that must be mentioned as a musical reference here is Archgoat. If you’re an Archgoat fan and haven’t heard this demo, then you are really missing out. Hell, Formidonis Nex Cultus is a total massacre and it gave the more established acts of the genre at the time a run for their money.
Shyaithan’s vocal vomits on this demo are damn great, vicious raspy growls that sound as if they’re coming straight from the depths of hell itself. He sounds as if possessed by evil demons, spewing forth one blasphemous curse after another. He’s also added backing growls and screams every now and then to make the most impact. Formidonis Nex Cultus is the most horrifying thing Impiety ever recorded and I personally hope that this demo will be re-released officially as I’m sure many fans into totally extreme mayhem would appreciate it.
