Artist: IMPURE
DOMAIN
Album: HIV Parade
Year: 2004
That there is lots of good shit under the Italian sun
has been said by me many times already. But for the
people who think that Aborym is the only machine
drumming industrial black metal band out there between
the electro bands performing at Mario’s place: please
meet Impure Domain. This band, existing already about
five years, turnes out to be a positive surprise in the
industrial black metal world. HIV Parade is their third
release, released somewhere in 2004.
That Impure Domain is much, much more than just another
machine drumming industrial black metal band can be
called a fact. Some experimental pieces are laying in
several songs, like some electro intermezzo’s in
“Nihilistic” for example. But the major thing that makes
this record special is the guitarwork. Impure Domain is
one of the few industrial black metal bands I know that
manages to combine darkness with power in almost every
single riff they make. A very good point is as well that
every song has its own identity. Where “Nihilistic” more
focused on pure black, a song like “Scanners Ov
System_Gott” is more filled with some symphonic parts.
“Biotech 8” even has some drumparts that remind me of a
band like The Berzerker (but not with the hardstyle
sound of course), while a song like “The Endmost Pitch”
is more focused on decay and sorrow in stead of blasting
brutality. Another song I would like to mention in my
review is “Lasertron Rebellion”. Maybe this is the most
experimental song of the record, where a mix between
melodic black metal and some midtempo stuff is provided.
Some doom and gothic influences are hidden in every
corner, which makes this definitely a song to remember.
To compare this band with a band like Aborym is pretty
easy, and yes, there are some equal things hidden in
their music, but I dare to state that this band already
found its own style. The sound quality is acceptable for
a debut album, but I will be one of the first to request
a better recording quality on the next album. Smashing
album though, and fans of bands like Aborym, Red Harvest
and maybe even fans of Malmonde will be finding some
pleasant surprises when they discover Impure Domain! Go
listen them on www.myspace.com/impuredomain!
