Helleruin is marching onward! Gaining more and more appraisal and popularity since the release of the first demo, followed by the excellent full-length “War Upon Man” and a demo with De Gevreesde Ziekte, Carchost (who is playing all instruments) is back with another spawn of this excellent Dutch underground act. Both on his records as well as live Helleruin gains more and more momentum and is a force to be reckoned with. And deservedly so because “Devils, Death and Dark Arts” is a sublime conjuration.

You can expect devil fuelled black metal injected straight out of the nineties. No experimentation, just pure dark art in vain of Taake and Gorgoroth. I have mentioned it before: music doesn’t have to be original as long as it contains solid tracks. And with “Devils, Death and Dark Arts” this is certainly the case with its six haunting tracks spawned straight out of the pits of hell itself.
