Endstille - Endstilles Reich

I'm guessing that Endstille is German, although you'd think they'd choose a more German looking gun for their silly image that greets visitors to their homepage. If you look around their webpage, you'll probably quickly assume that they are a black metal band. And well, you'd be correct.

The production on this record is top notch. The guitars are razor sharp and the drums come in clearly. Music-wise, this is definitely black metal. Fast riff after fast riff, I don't think this album slows down once during its relentless attack on whatever moral principle Endstille has a thing against. This is better than your average run of the mill black metal band, but it's still very limited by the black metal sound and begins getting very repetitive by the end of the disc.

6/10 Better than average black metal.
