Mactatus – Blot – Review

Mactatus

Blot (Moribund)
by Scott Hefflon

A re-issue of Mactatus‘ first release from ’97. Classic black metal, full of violence and echoey vocal howls, mid-tempo guitar sawing (as opposed to blurred white noise), and limited use of keyboards. And the bass is pluckily in-your-face, which is unique. The band’s certainly moved on, both musically and production-wise, but here’s a good strong whiff of the early decay.
