Review:
From my point of view there are three types of bands in the Extreme Metal field: those who seek to become as technical as possible and deliver intricate music, those more interested in the atmosphere they create, and those that try to be as primitive and visceral as possible. Bestial Entity is of course one of the latter, a kind of Metal that has more and more followers by the day, loyal and supportive followers I mean. No wonder why even from the first EP with only 9 minutes in length this Bestial Entity debut is backed up by a label, Fistbang Records from Greece who released it in a cult cassette tape format limited to only 100 hand-numbered copies. We're dealing here with fast-paced, violent, unrelenting, bestial Extreme Metal lead by demonic, inhuman vocals spitting some highly offensive and blasphemous lyrics. From my point of view the drums are pretty dull, blast-beats from start to finish, and there's not much difference between tracks if you follow the drums only, but the guitar work makes the difference here and give some sort of an identity to each of the 4 tracks. Other than that, if you're into atmospheres a la Beherit, Bestial Warlust, Profanatica and the likes, Bestial Entity might be another name to check out, there's plenty of brutality here to hype you up in waiting for these guys' debut album.
