Genre: blackened death metal

Featuring members of Immolation, Xenomorph and Laceration, Blackened Wisdom's "The Angels Are Crying" could have been one of those legendary early death metal releases, but it was never released because Blackened Wisdom broke up just after it was recorded in 1993.

It is only now in 2012 that it gets to see the light of day (or the dark of night, if you wish), as Hell's Headbangers has released it in 7'' format, which was the intended format of release back in 1993 anyway. Stylistically, we are dealing with an early incarnation of blackened death metal which combines primitive and brutal riffage with black metal screeches and blasting death-grind drums.

Overall, the music comes across as being very chaotic, but that primarily is due to the lo-fi authentic 90s demo tape production which makes the death-grind sections seem very noisy and chaotic - which, I am sure, a lot of fans of early grindcore will find a positive feature. Combined with these primitive blackened death-grind elements are thrashy guitar figures and crushingly heavy riffs (as heard in the title track, for instance).

While younger metal fans who might be used to the pristine production associated with technical death metal, metalcore and other types of modern metal might find the noisy production of this EP a turn-off, old school death metal fans and younger fans of extreme metal who are fascinated with the early stages of extreme music are bound to revel in the aural chaos that is Blackened Wisdom's one and only release.
