| Quote: | Totale Vernichtung's name was vaguely familiar from earlier this year and even after a couple of listens of their brand new album Feuerbestattung I couldn't figure out where I had seen the name; but now I'm pretty sure it's their demo Die pechschwarze Artillerie that I saw being hyped in the spring, but for an unknown reason never checked it out. And now I can say that I'm glad I finally dismissed even the rather general artwork and delved into the music itself because what we've got here is some ingenious underground black metal.
Feuerbestattung is, in spite of some traditional values, an odd bird. There's surely a crunchy production, a drum machine, tremolo-picked riffs and other such features of a regular black metal release, but the guitars are doing something truly weird here. I tend to think these riffs are an equivalent of those Sonic games on Sega: these melodies twirl and twist in such a lively manner and speed that, if separated form the music around it, this would barely be black metal. For more relevant (musical) comparisons, you could think of Eisenwinter but a thousand times more active and catchy, or Peste Noire when it comes to the riffs' overall inventiveness. The clear drum machine, as well as the vocals and the language they're performed in, hint also to Wehrhammer's direction.
Inspirational would be a good word in depicting the essense of Feuerbestattung, and I don't think there's any need to analyse individual tracks, as the scheme remains the same throughout. The actively wandering riffs consisting of very high notes are the key to the album's success in my books. I can't think of any other band playing black metal exactly like this, which is a good sign. Feuerbestattung deserves a worthy recommendation, and although there are some minor issues such as the drums (programmed ones are always at least a tiny nuisance), this album is definitely a refreshing experience.

Die pechschwarze Artillerie demo was really great. Any US distro for the new CD? Also, surprised that Rostorchester was as average as it was considering the people involved.
