VÖEDTÆMHTËHACTÅTT / MAQUAHUITL – WITHOUT VEILS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS LP (Darker Than Black Records)

On ‘Without Veils Of Righteousness’, the unpronounceable pair Vöedtæmhtëhactått and Maquahuitl each offer forth four cuts of raw, primitive and unapologetic underground Black Metal. With an obvious punk-infused edge to the basic crudeness, this record is about as true to the original spirit of Black Metal as you are going to get.

Even though there is nothing at all memorable about this rather repetitive split, it’s total lack of charm is a charm in itself and I’d recommend ‘Without Veils Of Righteousness’ to anybody who wants to hear something simple, abrasive and straight to the point, along the lines of Ildjarn or Bone Awl
