Full Length Review: LORD OF PAGATHORN Daimono Philia

Daimono Philia
Release Date: January 31, 2018
A few days ago I was sent ''Daimono Philia'' by LORD OF PAGATHORN. I am just getting around to listening to it now, but this is some pretty vicious black-metal. Hailing from Finland, this band started in 1992 and is pushing forward to this day. This release is clearly well put together. Chaotic wailing black-metal rasps and screeches permeate the tracks, vicious yet structured drums creating an atmosphere forlorn, heavy and depressive. The guitar also creates an atmosphere of its own; the riffs are heavy, ominous and striking. The bass is pushing along in the background, helping to bring the whole thing together. This is the first time that I have heard of this band, but I will for sure look more into these guys. It appears that they have a plethora or releases to choose from and I plan to check them out some time in the near future. Black-metal, grind, gore, punk-rock and most forms of metal are my favorite types of music, so I always get excited when bands like this pop up and show me that the underground still has it. This release has made my day (night) and I suggest any fans of black-metal and underground music checks this one out. It is well produced and the over-all sound is delectable. 10/10 -Devin Joseph Meaney
