:LESS FAITH IN GODS THAN MAN: :NO FAITH IN MAN AT ALL: If Black Metal at its "core" is about the Devil and the evil in man, then SCEPTER & CROWN's debut e.p. "Baltimore" is about sin and where it dwells...in his "heart". A 15 minute soundtrack to a ride along with a Black Metal Cartel who prefers the urban decay of a concrete jungle to a frost bitten kingdom. A group who knows that the road to excess leads to hell just as fast as a pact with Satan. Far from a monotonous journey, the lead track "Baltimore" is a pre ritual shotgun blast drive by- a prayer of death to a rat infested cathedral. Juxtaposition hits hard on follow ups "Winners" and "Ritz Cabaret". If the bass-heavy trap beats of "Winners" is a dope den where your dealer only spits Kipling while selling you the drugs... then "Ritz Cabaret" is playing at the club you do them in- A Neon Synth Stripper Hell. "Boss Kvlt" becomes the sobering hangover of a night of debauchery and the realization of waking to a world of Shit & Beauty with all the vigor to do it again. It's Reality Black Metal for those that were born to land hard. Available on all streaming platforms and on Gold cassette at Wolfchild A.D. |
