Glorification of Satanas

I'm surprised I haven't run into this band (one guy, really) before as Unhuman Disease has been around for 20 years with three splits and six full-length albums released so far. This is a reissue that includes one bonus track.

Glorification of Satanas leaves no secret as to what the album is about, and the music is firmly rooted in mid-90s to early 2000s black metal, though this is surprisingly full and layered and there's a lot in here to get your ears busy over several attentive listens. This stuff has, of course, been done before, but the sheer heaviness and "busyness" of the music really sets the delivery apart, making for an interesting album despite the overall lack of originality. The vocals are raspy screeches that are out of this world and can shred your speakers to pieces and, while there's a lot of speed to boot here, the slower passages bring out a dark, crushing atmosphere that grabs you and doesn't let go. The kind of album that makes you go, "I need to check out the rest of their discography."
