What feels rather obvious as soon as Beyond good and evil sets off, is that it�s not your ordinary doom metal album. And after listening to it over and over for a while, I can easily state that it�s not like anything I�ve ever heard before.
As soon as the first riff starts I get a feeling of something out of the ordinary; it�s not a saddened, heavy-as-hell metal riff, but rather a metalized hardcore riff. Now don�t get me wrong, I�m not talking about anything even remotely close to metalcore, but rather old school crustcore, draped in a sludgy, doomy aura. And these lads sounds as rooted deeply in the hardcorepunk scene, and have then adapted that particular distorted sound into doom metal. There�s no question about it; this is certainly sludgy doom, but with a punk attitude. It might sound absolutely fucked-up by the description, but I can guarantee that they�ve managed to pull it off. But I�d also draw some influences from the very early doom metal scene, with a sort of 70ies/80ies psychedelic touch to it (of course without sending out hippie vibes).
Behind this wicked, raw riffing and drumming there�s a harsh voice lurking in the background, which enhances an already established atmosphere of desperation. I don�t think I�ve ever heard doom metal reek of such pure brutality, a brutality that sort of reminds me of Counterblast. Anyway, this is one fine album that presents something completely new to me; a sludgy doom metal punk album.
