INFERNAL ANGELS

The fourth full-length studio album by Italian Melodic Black Metal band.
A black monolith where glimpses of pure aggression are blended in parts, sometimes mournful, sometimes disturbing, with sudden melody grafts with a strong Scandinavian component.
This album is a new fundamental element in the ten-year discography, which reveals the now embarked black path, towards deeper and darker chasms of musical evolution. A work that does not create borders, but is looking for a corollary of Extreme, Black and Death Metal influences.
A must for all fans of Dark Funeral, Belphegor, Mor Dagor, Mgla, and similar bands.

The third full-length album by Italian Melodic Black Metal band.
Black Metal with Death Metal contaminations, performed with raw ferocity! But it is not only a blind beat up, there is a hazy pace dictated by Melodic and Dark moments. Desperate vocals and with various facets leads the listener along grooves worthy of the worst abyss of Giger.
Returning with their third album, Infernal Angels continue to hammer home their Immortal, or Mayhem infused straight up Black/Death Metal with vigour and a little panache. However what “Pestilentia” does lack is that variance from song to song to really make this act stand tall and proud amongst their peers. Vocalist XeS, the band's only surviving original member, has a throaty rasp, more aggressively husky than out and out guttural; something which he makes work to his advantage, while Manegarmr offers up boundless barrages of both bass and guitar. The trio is completed by drummer MiD, who can rattle the tubs with the best of them, both in terms of ferocity and precision. However, in the end none of the undoubted talent on show really makes up for what becomes a reasonably characterless set of songs, which do hit hard, but lack in staying ability.
“Pestilentia” is full of great moments from start to finish. The band deftly manages to capture the essence of classic Black Metal combined with a modern sensibility, and there isn’t a bad track here. Death growls and audible production might not be ‘kvlt,’ but this band have managed to make a strong Black Metal album their own way. There’s no synths, no horns, and no forest imagery just for the sake of it: its no-frills, bone-crushing Metal, period. And it's recommend for fans of bands like Immortal, Mayhem and Absu!!
