Evoke the Desecrator

Bestial mockery is a black/thrash black metal band from the mighty state of Sweden. Now, we all know that Sweden is one of the main and most consistent exporters of quality extreme metal so I will not go too much in depth into the origins of the band vis-a-vis the country they live in. Formed in 1995 and ceased activity 2008 and reformed for a few months in the period between late 2011 and 2012. Throughout their career, they've released only four full-length albums, however, they did release a lot of demos and extended plays, following in the tradition of most underground black metal bands.

Although Bestial Mockery are listed as black/thrash, I think that that title should not be used to describe the music on display here. "Evoke the Desecrator" is a 10-track full-length that all-together last around half-an-hour. As you would most probably expect with any black/thrash or bestial black metal release, most songs are pretty succinct and go straight-to-the-point, and you'd be a fool to expect anything different from this Swedish menace. Most songs go at lighting-fast velocity and the atmosphere which the music creates is highly oppressive. There are certain tracks which plod along at a relatively slow pace when compared to the rest of the material. The mood is grim, and so are the guitar riffs. The guitarists are clearly heavily inspired by second-wave bands, but if you listen more closely, you can detect some strong grindcore and old-school death metal influences. Although the majority of songs on this release are clearly black-metal oriented, where minor chord tremolo-picked riffs make up the majority of the guitar work, there are moments where the guitarist plays lower on the fretboard, therefore sounding more death-metal inspired rather than black-metal oriented. At the 17th minute mark of the album the guitarist explodes in a shredding frenzy, basically butchering the whammy bar to death.

The vocalist pulls off an immense job. The majority of the songs on this album can be quite demanding to pull off perfectly in terms of vocals, however, somehow, the vocalist does it impeccably. Apart from the usual black metal shrieks, he also uses lower-pitched barks which help in elevating the status of the singer within the overall scheme of the music. The bass guitar does tend to get lost in the overall chaos of the album, however there are certain moments where it sounds amazing in unity with the lead guitar. The bass has a very thin and cutting edge which sounds fabulous when it is possible to deduce it. Of course, the presence of bass is a major problem with most black metal bands, so I can't really sanction them all too much.

Overall, "Evoke the Desecrator" can be considered as a benchmark to which other great black/thrash metal releases should be judged. All throughout the release the band manages to convey so many raw emotions that you can almost feel the vitriol running through your veins when listening to it. Highly recommend this release to any bestial metal maniac.

One year after Bestial Mockery released their debut album, Christchrusing Hammerchainsaw, they come back strong with an even greater attack! Evoke the Desecrator is a relentless, hell-fueled cut to the throat. This band is high on chainsaw fumes! Bullet belts, drinking blood, and black thrash executed perfectly by Swedish horde, Bestial Mockery!

From start to finish, this album slays. Track one is titled Chainsaw Demons Return. It features one of my favorite Bestial Mockery riffs of all time! The riff imitates the sound of a chainsaw starting up! You will know it when you hear it because you will be banging your head even harder then you were before. The next five songs devour the listener one by one. Fast as fuck, old school black thrash worship focusing on war, sacrifice, blasphemy, and all things unholy!!!

For me, track seven is the highlight of the album. It’s titled Goats Feast! The song has more of a mid-paced tempo to it. It’s a blood splattered orgy of demons and witches fucking and feasting! Great riffing and a full blown head banging anthem! The album closes with the title track. It’s the longest song on the album clocking in at four minutes and eleven seconds. This shit is fucking heavy!!!! Perfect way to conclude this killer album!

If you enjoy chaotic metal that’s just all out war fucking blasphemy, CHECK THIS OUT!!! The album has many memorable moments. Every instrument can be heard perfectly. It’s definitely a solid release. Hail Bestial

Bestial Mockery's second album is a 10-song, 29 minute Black/Deathrash homage to chainsaws, desecration, war, hate, blasphemy and Satan. Did I forget anything? Oh yes - NECROSLUTS!


If you've heard Bestial Mockery's first album "Christcrushing Hammerchainsaw", you may have a vague idea of what to expect here. However, there is notably more of a Death Metal influence to be heard on this release which, along with the excellent production, makes the whole album sound much darker. Also, everything sounds much tighter on this album. In an interview with Master Motorsag (vocals) he explained "If the first LP represented the savages on the battlefield, this one is more like a grave desecration orgy with the nuclear holocaust as the background." An excellent description - I couldn't have put it better myself!

Fast-paced, thrashing tempos tend to dominate here, but not without common changes to slower and mid-paced sections, a variation which keeps the album sounding fresh and interesting throughout.

All the Bestial Mockery trademarks that we know and love are here; chainsaw "solos", wailing guitar solos, blasphemous lyrics that speak of hate and desecration and, of course, Master's harsh, grating, throat-filled-with-battery-acid vocals. But overall, everything is much tighter and sounds much more accomplished.


An excellent inclusion on this album is the re-recording of my favourite Bestial Mockery track, Necroslut, which was originally featured on the "War: The Final Solution" demo. I loved this song on that demo, and here it also sounds superb!! The much improved production and darker sound of this album gives the track a whole new sound, whilst still maintaining all the elements that made the song great in the first place, and Master's frantic ramblings as the song comes to an end will surely bring a smile to your face.

Do I have anything negative to say about this release? Yes - the length. This is such a good album that it's a shame it doesn't last longer. It clocks in at just under 30 minutes and seems to be over incredibly quickly. However, now we know why "repeat" buttons were created.

In short: Get this album or die a poser!! METAL FUCKING DEATH!!!!
