In Total Contempt

This is Pest's best release to date. More consistent than 'Blashpemy is my Throne' and their EP 'Black Thorns.'

Its raw mid-paced Black Metal old skool style with stompy riffing and drumming although there are lots of fast sections too. Grumpy from start to finish expect no acoustics or nice bits. Just plain old nastyness and raspy guitars.

That usually means its boring but there is enough variation here to keep you interested. The singing grabs you straight away. Remember Darkthrone's Panzerfaust album? The vocals are reminiscent of that album: grim, raw, and agressive.

Its worth mentioning that the production is really decent too.

In Total Contempt is nothing new to black metal but it does what it does proficiently and is a good all round album. It is certainly a like it or hate it album and won't appeal to everyone's taste but that's good.

Score: 4/5
