3 song promo from VIOLENTIA IMPERATRIX MUNDI

September 2002
Released: 2002, Independent
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewer: Anders Sandvall

7th Nemesis comes from France. I was contacted by Alex in the band.He was wondering if I would like to review their 3 song promo.The band/project plays death/black-metal. In September 2001 the line-up was:



Alex-lead,rhythm guitar

Andrew-drums

Mat-bass

Sargon-lead vocals

Xavier-lead,rhythm guitar



These 3 songs were recorded in April 2002.It starts with ”7TH BANNER” calm intro before the band really starts. Parts of it are fast and there are more melodic parts in the song which contains the usual black-metal lead-vocals. ”OMEGA DEI” sounds only black metal through most of the song but there are calm parts as well.”PHOEIX RESURRECTIO” more death-metal in this song with black-metal lead-vocals. In the middle there is a slower part with talking.



Alex,Andrew,Mat and Xavier impress and they have a high quality in their playing. Sargon doesn’t quite impress because he has only one gear in his vocal range.I would prefer more nuances in his lead vocals. The band is promising apart from the singer Sargon. I hope they will see to that now during the recording of their debut-album and do better with the vocals.
