Inferno

Inferno

Black Devotion

Agonia

Bursting out of the Czech Republic (love it!), Inferno crafts bruising, physically-imposing black metal akin to psychic soul brothers like Gorgoroth, Watain, and Immortal. The guitars are huge and not averse to a headbanging frenzy here and there (though not particularly beholden to thrash conventions), the drummer really shows me something, and the vocals have just the right hint of desperation and loss of control. This is like HD Satan.
