Aguynguerran - Christreign Annihilation

A true black metal release! - 96%

devilfuel, May 23rd, 2007

Evil creatures armoured with leather, spikes and battle axes, painted in black and white... These are kult points a blackened horde can’t deny.
Aguynguerran is one of those bands who want to stick in this traditional black metal way. They bring fast black metal with influences of the mighty Enthroned. (Lead guitar and vocals are performed by mastermind Nguaroth, member of Enthroned).

This band is well known in Belgian underground for its great live performances. They play very tight and clean. I’ve seen them and it’s f*cking awesome!! However, they don’t play often.

To the point, this demo tape and second release has a high quality. Although it’s a tape. After an ominous intro, the title track rages trough your stereo. They start their first track like possessed demons. “Christreign Annihilation” is also the best song on this demo. With “Eternal Fire Dominion” they reduce speed but it’s still great. “Commandment Of Damnation” and “Returning From The Ancient Battlefields” goes further in the same way.
Aguynguerran varies a very tight guitarplay with great solo’s and melodic highlights. Bands, who play fast, often sound chaotic, but they maintain the order. There aren’t many bands who can say this.

The lyrics are outstanding! Anti-Christianity and the roman century are passing the scene. No keyboards are used. This is a true black metal-release!

If you are someone who likes black metal or sometimes likes a moment of tough metal? I can recommend you this demo for sure. The first 50 copies come with a Mayhem-cover (“Cursed in Eternity”), but for this one, you’re already too late if you are surfing now to their site, hehe (evil laugh!).

I’m already looking forward to their upcoming full-length album (summer 2007).

No better end than a statement from the band:
“ONLY CHRISTIAN BLOOD CAN QUENCH OUR THIRST FOR WAR AND REVENGE!!!!!!"

Cheers!!!
