Ammit - Mass Suicide

South American holocaust! - 82%

Human_Eradication, April 10th, 2007

What a great Chilean horde this one. True to their cause and low profiled for over a decade now, this reminds me of something!? This split release consists o both their early full lengths and contains some 70 min. of dirty fuzzy old school black / thrash in the vein of Sodom, Hellhammer, Venom and the like!

“Steel Inferno” has always been my favorite from the day that tape version fell into my hands as it sounds very close to the aforementioned kults. In fact, music wise it has some songs those bands would only wish to be able to create nowadays. Just listen to tracks such as “Vengeance Command” and “Black Candles”! Pure fucking class!!! Only disadvantage for this side of the disc is the overall low volume levels as it has obviously not been re – mastered hence sounding quite weak.

On the other hand “Mass Suicide” (which was recorded back in 2000 – a couple of years after “Steel Inferno”) despite being influenced by the masters of 80s black / thrash also sounds (at least to my ears) a bit close to very early Sigh yet without the avant garde elements. Actually the whole material sounds very early Sigh due to Count Czar Yang`s decaying voice (could this be Mirai by any chance?!?!).

And if that was not enough at the end of the disc, one will be able to listen to 3 tracks from a 2004 studio session. Ammit is probably one of the best Chilean hordes in today’s scene, sticking to what they can do best… performing 80s black / thrash metal holocaust in the South American way!
