Recenze/review - CRUCIFIER - Led Astray (2024)
Everyone came to see. To the lit border. He didn't yell or say anything. He just stood there, burning and slowly dying in endless spasms. We took his ashes and scattered them in the river of the dead. He came back anyway. In our dreams, in our horrible fantasies. You could still see his twisted face in the shadows, you could still hear his venomous laugh. The devil hides in the details, in ordinary people and their actions. How many times have you closed your eyes to evil? How many times have you laughed at the wicked? I'm listening to the new American CRUCIFIER album and I'm thinking about things like that.
For the new album is once again a cruel and dark ritual for invoking forces that are definitely not of our world. We peek behind the curtain with the band, into the land of endless shadows, pain and suffering undead. And enjoy music that glows, burns and chills at the same time. Welcome to an ancient ritual, a ceremony full of blasphemy, madness and absolute darkness.
CRUCIFIER are once again majestic, powerful, reminiscent of the horsemen of the apocalypse who have come to avenge all the sins that have been committed against them. Well-written songs, riffs dripping with bad blood, but most of all an absolutely captivating, magical and wild atmosphere. Turn all the crosses upside down and light the fires in the pentagram. The songs reek of ancient power, gleaned from long-abandoned burial grounds, burnt churches and places where blood rituals once took place. The gentlemen go to the very essence of extreme metal. Their ideas are gnawed to the bone. The evil here takes many forms. The band creates in a similar way to packs like IMPRECATION, GOATLORD, ENGORGE, HEADHUNTER D.C., INCANTATION, BLASPHEMY, SARCÓFAGO. You'll be afraid of your own words and confessions won't get the cruelest inquisition out of you. Americans are firm in their anti-Christian views, and that is just as well. It adds to the believability of the new recording. I sift through the dust of the burned between my fingers. I look into the darkness and whisper inverted prayers. No one has ever seen God, but you can meet Satan at every turn. I see the novelty as a very hilarious tribute to blasphemy, to madness, as a revenge on all perverted priests. We die and are born in an endless circle. There are few certainties in today's strange world. CRUCIFIER is one of them. Humans are inherently cruel animals. This pack has brought out the ugliest thoughts and burned them into their songs. The devil is in the details, in ordinary people and their actions. How many times have you turned a blind eye to evil? Dirt, pus, corrupted blood soaked black death metal! Total darkness, evil that will burn you to ashes!
