It took me a while to really get the hang of this CD. I couldn�t quite put my finger on what it was, and to tell you the truth I�m still not sure exactly what�s bothering me. But I�ll try to get past it and give it a fair review anyway.
There�s no doubt about it; this is old school death metal with a chunk of blackness to go with it. But while mentioning a band like Possessed I might as well mention Impetigo, �cause it has that dirty, thrashing old school goregrind feel about it. Don�t let that last part fool you, though, �cause Sathanas keeps the tempo at a constant low, letting the riffing do the speaking instead of break-neck speed. Slick, razorsharp guitars and a pummelling bass lays the foundation and the vocals takes the command and shouts out phrases like �raise the devil sign� and �destroy the likes of god�. And speaking of vocals, they�re raw and dirty, but you�ll hear pretty much every blasphemic word streaming from your speakers.
Flesh for the Devil might not be the best suited party album around, but it�s definitely a great album for a night of candlelit satanic rituals and blood offerings. The dark, wicked, blasphemic tunes alone should be enough to bring forth hordes of fallen angles, raise the dead and invoke a few demonic possessions. Included is also the Slaughter cover Nocturnal hell for all you true old school freaks.
