DREADFUL RELIC - Ancient Obsession LP

Musically, Dreadful Relic continue to be faithful adherents to first wave black metal pioneers, especially Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and early Bathory. These bands represent the time when black metal was at its most primitive and potent—a newly emergent genre animated by a militant ethos. But Dreadful Relic avoids the hollow mimicry one usually expects from bands professing their reverence for that era. The songs on “Ancient Obsession” are highly composed with perfectly aligned riffs, aggressive drumming performed with militaristic precision, cut through by violent guitar solos and impassioned vocals.
