Warthur
Belphegor's Blood Magick Necromance has, perhaps, the perfect title for an album which draws equally on the smuttiness and cheesy Satan-worship of early Venom and the power and fury of more recent black metal. It's fairly straight-ahead black metal with clean production but not much in the way of technical flourish, buoyed by the band's gleeful embrace of erotic occult subject matter - like a cruder and more direct answer to Cradle of Filth with the symphonic metal side of the band swapped out for raw and dirty death metal. It's no classic but it's no slouch either, so on balance I think it's worth a spin even if it's no classic.
