If you're not into extreme Metal scene for more than 20 years, let Big Daddy here explain some things. Between the first wave of Black Metal (that had VENOM, BATHORY, HELLHAMMER, MAYHEM as their greatest names) and the SWOBM from the beginning of the 90s (that started with BEHERIT, SAMAEL and ROTTING CHRIST, and then the Norwegian raid), there were bands that mixed Black Metal nasty and somber elements with the aggressiveness of Death Metal from those times, as BLASPHEMY in Canada, ROOT and MASTER'S HAMMER on Czechoslovakia, VON in USA, SARCÓFAGO in Brazil, and many names could be found on these years that proceeded the Norway's invasion. In the same vein of these ancients, we have the Argentinean trio INFERNAL CURSE, spewing their darkened hatred with "Apocalipsis," their newest album.

It's putrid and nasty as hell, playing fast and with great doses of aggressiveness, using distorted and low tuned guitar riffs, and an oppressive rhythmic session, along with guttural distorted voices. Of course we can compare their musical work with something from BEHERIT's "Drawing Down the Moon" era, but I must say that these guys have guts to use such old and defiled way. But we can feel that they put their souls into music, because the album is aggressively charming. In terms of sound quality, it really means that they are sounding like their musical idols. If it could be done in a better way, it will not disappoint those fans from the style. In all the way, "Apocalipsis" nasty and raw sound quality can satisfy the more exigent old school Death/Black Metal fan. The raw and brutal "Litanies Unto Djinn" with its good tempo changes and excellent guitar riffs, the oppressive and hooking "Sin of Iblis" with its fast tempos and very good distorted guitars, the black gospel speech made on "Nasheed Al Mut" (good work from bass guitar and drums, in the middle of chaos of the contrast of fast and slow moments), the hooking guitar riffs on "Obituaries" (with some moments that reminds us all from the Death Metal invasion of the end of the 80s), and the nasty and brutal atmosphere shown on "Adharma" can be said as their best moments. Well, the band is really very good, full of energy, but if you're looking for something new and different, you won't find it here.
