Black Crucifixion
It's been quite a journey for Black Crucifixion.
Back in their formative days (they first came together
in 1989) they were as true kvlt black metal as they come,
and in fact several members of another old-school Finnish
black metal band,
Beherit,
were seen here.
An EP was released in 1993, but after that they
went quiet, eventually embarking on a ten-year recording
session for their proper full-length album,
Faustian Dream,
released in 2006 (an early demo did get re-released in the
interim, surfacing in 1999).
By this time Black Crucifixion had shed practically all
of its black
metal connections, the band now employing a dark, bleak
style sometimes in the early doomdeath mold (though the
vocals are clean), at other times recalling prime
Celtic Frost,
and still other times (perhaps most often) an early gothic
styling a la older
Moonspell
or newer
Sentenced.
It's fairly originally and a compelling listen, with a rather
primitive production adding a bit of old-school charm.
Two subsequent albums were released in 2011 and 2013.
