Under Sadistic Law
Zadism

Unfortunately, the promo came without any bio information, and the band didn't have an entry on The Metal Archives. So, we will have to let the music do the talking. The album has five songs, and "Ernestine" is first. A one minute song, it barely registers. There are piano notes, and some backing atmosphere, and that's about it. "Victims of the Sadistic Whip" is two-and-a-half minutes long, and it storms the gate hell bent on destruction. The production is muted, as you often find in the genre, and the sound is "gas pedal pressed firmly down to the floor." "Under Sacred Soil" pushes the three-minute mark, and it's another filthy offering with some cadenced vocals, heavy drums, and a weighted guitar riff. For me, it crosses somewhere between the Black and Thrash Metal genres.
"Chapel of Scum" is also just over three minutes. The length of some of the songs suggest a possible Pink influence in the band, but it's Black Metal. This one moves with a lot of energy, and the drums & cymbal crashes nearly blot out everything else. The final song is titled "Coprophilium Nightmare." It moves slowly, and perhaps more calculated, and has an evil quality to it. Again, the main riff is discernable, as opposed to some Black Metal where it borders more on noise. It was a curious album…with about a thirteen minute total run time, it wasn't bad…it was just mediocre, and it didn't offer anything new to the genre.
