Kommandant - Blood Eel - CD

Throughout their history, KOMMANDANT have paired consistency with artistic growth, forging a solid catalog of extreme metal aggression.

The casual listener could easily see them as a mix of Black Metal & Brutal Death, but the story is far more complex. “Blood Eel” employs cold production reminiscent of 90’s black metal while retaining the clarity of each instrument for a powerfully murderous soundscape.

Contrasting the cruelty of human nature with the purity and apparent calm of the greater cosmos breeds a tension ready to explode. Moments after the first atmospheric suspense of the intro, a storm of aggression breaks, with few peaceful moments of respite. KOMMANDANT combine the strength of Marduk & Infernal War with the subtle shadings of conceptual depth.

Feeding on the confusion and scorn of our times, this is the sonic renaissance annealed by a hammer of destruction.
