REX MUNDI
"IHVH"
(Debemur Morti; 2011)
Reviewed by Mike SOS
French black metal squad Rex Mundi manages to make a mark within a confined genre as exhibited on "IHVH."
Unquestionably draped in misanthropic malaise passed down from the raw and relentless elite such as Marduk, Immortal, and Mayhem, this re-released seven-track affair voraciously conveys vitriolic venom with a flurry of unorthodox elements for added dread and despair.
Championing the combination of throat-ripping lead vocals, barrages of hypnotically redundant buzzing riffs and hellacious percussive blasts from the depths of hell while a menagerie of eerily captured chants solidify an already foreboding atmosphere, Rex Mundi’s chilling debut affair contains all the evil one can endure before succumbing completely to the demonic world.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
