Four metal heads that lived in three different
northeast U.S cities created the opus “Forsaking A Dead World.”
That should show you One
Master’s dedication to their art. A vital element heard throughout
the disc is the scornful eerie melodies. Black metal fans should know what
I mean. Crude, old school black metal, that’s without keys. You may
say they are some sort of Darkthrone, Mayhem, Ulver, and Satyricon concoction.
A few slower parts could use a little more energy, but generally they can
whip them into a pretty good black metal groove. I have no problems with
that. The disc has an unpolished blackened resonance but not so bad that
you can’t hear what they are playing. “Forsaking A Dead World”
has six tracks and a little over 36 minutes. All the tracks have their admirable
parts, but a few tracks “Chill of the Grave,” “Unholy
Grimness,” and “The Test” seemed more to my liking. Nothing
groundbreaking on this disc, but if you are into that classic black metal
sound, then this should be to your liking.
