“Black Plasma Armour” is the new album of the Germans Members, Underground Black Metal bands in activities for about twenty years and with the sixth full-length outgoing.
Over the years Teutonic training has always shown that it has a discreet artistic vein, always realizing jobs that have had a stylistic continuity and showing that they also have peculiarities: their black metal is in some respects modern and can be appreciated in full without necessarily be nostalgic of the 90s; In addition, the members of the band are also technically prepared, with the bass that has always played an important role, and also in this new work it is well present (and audible).
For what has been done in the past and what is shown on the new album, there are obviously the references to the Norwegian bands, from Emperor (second part of the career) to the immortal, but you can also take other references such as Enthroned, abigor (little) and co -annational Lunar Aurora (the latter especially at the beginning of our career).
What has been played by the members is kaleidoscopic and changes in shape and substance numerous times inside the album (with a good production to underline it): it is a sophisticated black metal, with a structure of the songs and a never banal style. As often happens in these cases, a similar release is not immediately assimilable by the listener and risks remaining partially unexplored or misunderstood.
In any case, even in the most linear songs as in the long (almost ten minutes) “Nova”, Black Metal brutality is alternated with melodic and atmospheric parts. In addition to a dark blanket that envelops the whole release, we also find several stylistic solutions such as the use of choirs and parts singer with a clean voice, short brackets with a folkendant flavor, some thrash metal influence, a sometimes desperate screen (as on ” Poet of Fire ”) and much more.
Everything works and mixes in an exemplary way, giving a high profile release: really strange that a similar group is little known and relegated to the shadows (perhaps it pays duty so as not to belong to an important scene like the Scandinavian one), because of good albums these Germans have made it, including the latter. Violent, elaborate and with so much quality release. Band to follow.
