Perversor - The Shadow of Abomination (2011)
Need to take cover because Perversor is back, unleashing another blasphemic rapid-fire assault, raining down hellfire like an automatic atomizing weapon from the depths of damnation. These guys have now carved out a place among the best black metal bands in the South American scene—and mentioning them in that tier is no exaggeration. Coming straight from Santiago, Chile, a city notorious for spawning some of the most violent and chaotic black/thrash/death bands, Perversor continues to channel pure carnage from this cursed ground.

Since their 2008 release Cult of Destruction, influenced by bands like Blasphemy, Archgoat, Sarcófago, Sodom, and local legends like Death Yell and Pentagram, they’ve sharpened their tools of war considerably. While their debut was already a crushing effort, it suffered from slightly buried vocals and a lack of solos—but never to the point of weakness.

However, with The Shadow of Abomination, the band delivers a much more focused and aggressive strike. The production is just right—raw but clear, unrefined but brutal. This time, the vocals rip through the mix with searing, reverberating growls and infernal screams that spread unholy terror like wildfire. And yes—this time we even get blistering guitar solos, most notably in the standout track “Slaughter of the Innocent,” injecting the chaos with an extra layer of old-school flair.

This EP is a relentless war metal bombardment an offering of satanic bestiality forged in hell's boiling cauldrons. It oozes with the kind of primitive and violent old-school essence that strikes without mercy. The riffs hammer down like a curse, the rhythm changes pummel the listener, and the vocals sound like a demon vomiting flames over a battlefield. The blastbeats never relent—they carry the EP like a storm of destruction.

Every track is a representation of nuclear devastation, but the longest one, “The Age of Darkness,” is the centerpiece: an 11-minute inferno of nonstop machine-gun drumming and lightning-fast riffs. Want to know how to commit an audio massacre in 11 minutes? Listen to this track—and find out.

This is DEMON METAL, just as they proclaim—and they aren't lying. Highly recommended for fans of uncompromising, war-fueled black/death chaos. Immediate detonation guaranteed!
