Borgo

Here's an excellent tape of unrefined lo-fi Black Metal from Germany courtesy of Borgo. Some cheap sounding ambient keyboard pieces crop up between the quivering repetitive Black Metal songs. I think there might be vocals mixed way back under the hiss of the guitars but I can't hear them. This is exactly what I want a Black Metal cassette demo to be, obscure, noisy, and full of vague mystery. The sort of thing that sparks more questions than answers. The sort of thing that seems more like it had to be made more than it wanted to.

  6. Jesus fuck, this is damned obscure. The "drums" sound like there's a train going by down the block. I also like that each track has it's own Intro and Outro.
    Thanks.

  7. Aesop-
    You did it again! Really, really nice one- obscure, mysterious and pitch-black. What more could one ask for?

  8. train-drums! I'm going to record a train and use it for percussion on my next demo.

    This tape is wicked tasty, and so minimal.
