Aborym: Kali yuga bizarre
19/01/07 || Global Domination
This review was written by ex-staffer/cocksmoker Kampfar:
Hell knows that Italy hasn’t provided me with many worthy albums of metal. Off the top of my head, I can’t come up with one band that holds the same quality as the drug fiends known as Aborym. I know that Italy is said to have a great progressive scene but I haven’t been investigating. I need hard drugs to enjoy such music. It’s not worth it.
You don’t need hard drugs to enjoy the music on “Kali yuga bizarre”, it’s good even when you are completely sober. I guess. I’m not ruling out that at least medium-strength drugs were used to create this twisted piece of music. I suspect use of mind altering substances.
The music on this platter is best described as fucked-up black metal. It takes the whole formula and wraps it up in mescaline. There are enough oddities on here to scare a heap-load of conservative metal heads under their beds. If you can’t stomach electronics and pure techno (“Tantra bizarre”, with black metal vocals), you are better off without this one. Personally, I think this is one of the better marriages between metal and electronics the world has seen. Most times, techno (I’ve only heard very little) makes me want to puke, but in this setting I applaud.
The praise isn’t over yet, as the vocals need to be highlighted. The vocal duties are shared between Attila Csihar and an individual called/calling himself Yorga S.M. While searching out information about the band, I learned that this Yorga guy mysteriously disappeared halfway through the recording session of the very album I’m reviewing. He certainly didn’t go kill himself because he was participating on a crapper. I don’t know which vocalist does what, but everything is fucking fine, so there’s no need to know. I couldn’t care less. Most of the time the vocals are perfect, fitting the music as perfectly as your dick fits into a hamster.
A lot of bands have a wealth of good ideas but most of them knit them together like sloppy surgeons. We don’t like sloppy surgeons, do we? Aborym kill such weaklings. They tie together blasts, clean vocals, children choirs, techno, and pure hatred seamlessly. There are even more oddities to be found but I don’t feel for pointing out all of them. I want you to buy/download this album as soon as you’ve read this review through. Very soon, that is.
If you are looking for a black metal album full of surprises, you should start here. Italy has a shitty metal scene but there are some honorable exceptions. Just give me a couple of days and I’ll come up with another.
9 in mint condition Ferrari’s out of 10.
