ATMAN "L'Assassi De Venus" 2009 CD
Sun & Moon Records
ATMAN, pretty known for me name, this band is coming from Spain , and as I know this is pretty old band, was born something about 1992... But in spite I heard ABOUT them I didn't heard THEM). Well, all in all we have pretty good band into black metal genre. Their main ambition is create an old-school, gloomy and in some aspects unique black metal, and they did almost all of those planned things. Their black metal sounds in old-school way, the whole conception and sound are gloomy, and, main thing - they have really some tunes thx which I can't sure compare them to some other bands... And this fact is pretty good as for me, as having some original tunes and stay "pure" is not easy I suppose. Then about atmosphere on this album, I like it too, as here's very deep such mystic atmosphere, and made with some melancholic touches. About rhythm-section, here is all good again, very well composed, and made in such destructive straight-forward way (with slowdowns of course!). So, all in all we have very good mystic black metal from Spain , which music should accepted by your dark souls!
