I was very glad that Imminent Destruction sent me this vinyl of guys
from Texas for review. This is a vinyl reissue of their debut work,
which was first released in the form of a cassette. Even though it's
debut but the quality of this work is simply amazing. Average listener
will think "so what's wrong with that?". And the feature is that members
of Cryptic Void passed through fire and water in such bands as: Nibiru,
Insect Warfare, P.L.F., War Master!
Psychomanteum can be compared
with a small nuclear bomb. It is a very dangerous thing, I must tell
you. The energy of these songs, just like radiation, penetrates to the
bones! Damn, the rage of this "music" really makes my ears feel good,
haha! Frank's blastbeats are as intense as Soviets dropping bombs on
Berlin at the end of WWII! And singer's "output" reminds the roar of a
hungry bear who saw the bunch of tourists :) Juicy sound of string
instruments completes all this mess ... what else to say ... Keep it up
guys!
By the way, the cover artwork would be quite suitable for all
kinds of releases of occult rock collectives, but the one who buys this
thing shouldn't consider that it was recorded under the light of 100
candles, hahaha
