There are two ways
to consider this CD - if you’re into bands such as (early) Marduk, Abruptum or
DarkThrone, then "Plaegh" should be right up your alley. But if you're not into
bands that tread that fine and highly subjective line between noise and musical
expression, then you should probably steer clear of this like the plague (that
pun was accidental, honest!).
With the
proliferation of so many blasphemous, gory or politically incorrect bands, it's
hard for this album to truly shock or excite. Admittedly I often find myself
checking out this kind of stuff, if anything to remind myself of an important
aspect in the evolution of Metal but it always turns out to be a brief
reminiscence.
The rating I've
given sort of represents a middle ground between the aforementioned
considerations, doubtlessly influenced by my own feelings for this genre of
Metal.
