Antichrist's Sacrament of Blood is quite possibly the best thing I've heard in ages. It's Blasphemy worship of the highest caliber. The riffs are amazing, the vocals fucking kill, and the production is PERFECT. Basically in a genre with only one king, these guys are the heir to the throne.
Don't get the wrong idea I LOVE Proclamation (before Antichrist they were the next best thing to Blasphemy as far as that sound was concerned), Black Witchery, Blasphemophagher, and a whole host of other Blasphemy inspired bands, but Antichrist just smokes that stuff. I've even heard rumblings that some people prefer this stuff to Blasphemy (which I think is overstating it just a tad). However, if your love is for raw, bestial metal, this is the best metal album since Gods of War.
I suppose since I just called this the best metal album since 1993, saying that this is, without a doubt, my album of the year, seems sort of redundant. I'd go on record to state that it's already amongst my top 10 of all time just because it does the style that I prefer amongst all metal styles better than every band that has ever attempted it (Black Witchery, Beherit, Archgoat, etc. etc.) except for the masters (Blasphemy).
I'm sure some people are sitting there saying that this review is full of exaggerations and hyperbole. I'm certainly prone to do that to make a point, and I'll be the first person to admit to it. This however, is my honest opinion. I really thought that NOTHING could dethrone that Hades Archer album this year...but this just came out of nowhere a few months ago and blew my fucking mind.
