The True Werwolf - Devil Crisis

Man oh man have i lusted for this beastly pearl for years on end!
Now it is here after 6 years!


From the early days of enjoying the perfection of the C.N.N. / 0373 seven inch i have wanted this release in my greedy grasp, the black metal mutated Castlevania song mix could have been so cheesy and straight out bad but of course Graf would do it on point & make it better then it should be!

...Now i dont know and cant say that  i hear after listening on it all that this entire album would have that game as a worship fondation (besides the songs from the mentioned 7") and after reading the introduction text from the promo sent by HHB it seems inspiration comes from many different video games music...but in the end this is very much the Werwolf show and that is just what one is after buying this release also...


For me the first thought was after the last note had died out was that this is like a continuation of the Fimbulwinter album even though its not the same project (its the same man so...) and that is a great
compliment from me, it is mighty and soaring! Every songs has great evil grand compositions that hook you into his medieval world of darkness and sorcery.

I dont need to write anymore really as this should be a no brainer to get, it is one of the best releases this year! (or in recent years really)

Released on CD and LP by Werewolf Records (with different cover art...looks like he hired some Japanese illustrator for this work).



Hells Headbangers is on the same train to push his labels releases since some years back. (Probably to help spread the Satanic Verses  outside Europe)

1.     My Journey's Under the Battlemoon     06:33     
2.     Thy Deviant     10:25
