LASTER
De Verste Verte is Hier

Hailing from the Netherlands, the atmospheric black metal group proclaims to write "occult dance music" full of energy and gusto. It's a gimmick, really, as it just sounds like Burzum warped into a modern sound. Yet even that is still worthy of merit. It isn't until the very end of the record that the band's novel description even comes into play, as the punchy and rythmic emponymous track is a quirky closer with a catchy beat. After all, the rest of the debut, De Verste Verte Is Hier is a pretty by the numbers black metal affair. Where the band sells it lies in the void like atmosphere. The vocals seem to be carved by lightening, buffeting the savage production. Less like the icy sounds of their influences, Laster sounds like a fire razing a desolate landscape. Never does the album feel without purpose, as the deliberate pace helps the ravaging sounds move along perfectly.
