HELL MET ALL “Sa Naso Semjo”

HELL MET ALL
”Sa Naso Semjo”
(Sliptrick Records)
At first I couldn’t get to grips with the band name. Hell Metal, what a fucked up name. but then I realized that it isn’t Hell Metal but Hell Met All and then it made much more sense. This is to my ears a folk-ish black metal constellation. But if you look at the imagery surrounding this release you’d be forgiven for thinking that this was going to be an assault like Impaled Nazarene. A full blown black metal attack. But it isn’t. I can’t really make up my mind if this is more folk or black metal, if it is folk black or black folk metal. For every blink of an eye that I’ve decided I become indecisive again. Not that it matters to anybody but me. This is still a pretty decent folk black, black folk metal release. Anders Ekdahl
