De Magia Veterum: The deification
03/12/13 || Pr0nogo
A long time ago, I had the extreme displeasure of listening to a band called Psyopus. They played what I like to call extremely-autistic technical dumbass metal – the guitars had all the moxie of sound effects out of a broken ’90s game, the vocals were akin to the noises a cat makes when it goes toe-to-brain with a garbage disposal, and the drums seemed an awful lot like a busted metronome that wouldn’t stop going off at the highest possible speed. I decreed thenceforth that no band of their genre would ever top Psyopus in terms of bad, and went on my merry way. However, De Magia Veterum has proven me wrong (or maybe it’s just the same guys under a different name, fuck if I care), with their 2013 full-length “The Deification“. Guess what? Everything sounds exactly as I described above, so I just reviewed two albums for you in the time most mortals take to review one. That’s some quality journalism right there, fuckhead.
1/10, because I can’t review what I can’t hear, dammit.
Listen here.
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
