Here you have the debut full-length from EVIL, a four-piece black/speed metal band from Tokyo, Japan. Although the band has existed since 2011 and has previously released two demos and a split CD, its output to this point has been largely overlooked. With ?Rites of Evil,? however, its profile is rightfully promised to rise from the obscurity that is due at least in part to its geographic isolation. Including venerable bands such as Bathory, Hellhammer and Slayer in its list of prominent influences that in all span at least three continents and various subsets of first-wave black metal and satanic speed metal, the ones that shine through the most are early Sodom, Sarcofago, and fellow compatriots Sabbat and a certain, notorious Japanese punk metal band.
MAJESTIC MASS (DK) debut album "Savage Empire of Death" released on Iron Fist Productions features seven tracks of blood drenched blackened psych-rock. MAJESTIC MASS delivers an audial unique satanic occult spirit, sexual magic and pure perdition which is not for the weak minded. Blackened psychadelic doom!
