A scathing blackened blast attack from these Dutch necromongers that came out in 2003, Langs Galg en Rad is a must-hear if yer a fellow filth freak that grooves on the dimension-tripping hyperspeed insanity of likeminded black metal outfits like Katharsis, Funeral Mist, and Chaos Omen. This band rules. Made up of Saglinge ("Voice from the Grave"), Nachtraaf ("Deathsaw"), Havoque ("Bassquakes"), and Lahar ("Doombell"), Fluisterwoud, which loosely translates as "The Forest That Whispers", formed in 1996 under the toxic influence of the old school raw BM of bands like Darkthrone and Arckanum, and it took them almost six years to finally release a proper album. This was Fluisterwoud's first album, and man does this kill...nine songs of super grim, cavernous and raw black metal that moves from loping mid-tempo grooves to ungodly fast blasting and sudden descents into fetid doom waltzes, with killer droning riffs, meaty chainsaw guitar and unexpectedly "groovy" basslines, corrosive black fuzz, weirdo vocal moves that send Saglinge's wicked snarling rasp rattling through dead space in a wash of echo and other fx. These guys aren't as over-the-top psychedelic as bands like Funeral Mist or Katharsis, but this is still crazed and tweaked and black as FUCK, lots of low end making the slower songs like "Plaegdraegher" sound heavy as hell, the band evoking visions of black clouds clotted with smoke from funeral pyres, burnt out cities and plague-ridden countrysides, a nightmarish satanic apocalypse. And they even do a cover of black metal weirdos Lugubrum! Awesome.
