DEATH MAGICK
"Demo MMXXIII"
Dawnbreed Records 2023
Oh for fuck's sake, holy mother and all the saints!
Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of the world and the neighborhood. Let it be
known to all of you together and to each of you individually, that "Demo
MMXXIII" threw me to the ground, spread me on my shoulder blades and didn’t
let me get up again! Okay, and now a little more seriously (although seriously
is when you’re lying in a coffin). Remember those days when Heavy Metal was a
vehicle for occult vibes, secret knowledge and evil of all kinds? There are
probably not many of us left who remember that (eh, a tear rolls down the eye
socket). To cheer your hearts I will remind you of the truth that when two or
three gather in the name of the Horned One, there He is among them as well.
However, returning to the point, because I have a feeling we've strayed a bit
from it, I asked this question for a reason, but you've probably guessed that
by now. This is the kind of sound I mentioned at the beginning, because the
enigmatic project from Israel called Death Magick pays tribute to it. The three
tracks on their debut material are an excellent, I would say textbook example
of how to play Heavy Metal permeated with darkness and fumes of hell. Seemingly
nothing new will be encountered here. The drums pound hard and bluntly, the
thick bass provides the proper low tunes, the classic riffs supported by
delectable, frenetic solos kick in the ribs healthily, and the exquisite
vocalizations, also rooted deep in the tradition of the genre, do the job perfectly
as fuck. Add to it a pinch of dark synths and you've got it. A recipe that has
been patented, proven and used hundreds of thousands, if not millions of times
already, and yet in Death Magick's music you can clearly feel the flavors and
aromas of the abyss, and the breath of the Devil himself. I myself don't know
how they do it, but there is no bullshitting, the blessing of the Lord of
Darkness is what they must certainly get! The way this band plays their music
simply tears me to pieces and throws to my knees every time. I listen to this
material over and over again like a man possessed and can't get free from its
influence. Such mystical Heavy with a clear, tangible almost touch of Evil is
what old Hatzamoth loves anytime, anywhere. I hope that the band will soon spawn
(with the prominent help of Satan, of course) some longer material, because
these three compositions are not enough for me, definitely not enough. I want
fucking more, much more! So I'm waiting for the next manifestation of genius
from the camp of Israeli Death Magick, and my impatience is really huge.
