This is something I could need less to cheer my day up as BATTLE´S CLARION is not only a badly produced North American Black Metal album, but also a typical example of all these wanna-be-scary-and-evil-but-ends-up-being-amusing albums that neither catch your immediate attention nor make you thrilled to it at all. There´s simply nothing on this album that could win over my sympathies to these Texas satanic cowboys´ (from Hell as I assume…) side; they just don´t do anything for me. I feel pretty damn impotent and cold myself while listening to this crap ´coz the concrete-hard facts are that you do not have to have any kind of an idea about the simpliest song arrangements available when coming up with the 9 songs that BATTLE´S CLARION holds inside. This is just sooooo bad shit… Besides, we have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds again of similar uh!-so-evil-and-uh!-sooo-scary wanna-be-whatever! -groups even here in Finland that are destined to stay as demo bands forever ´til they split up and never get a potential opportunity to get signed due to the recently mentioned rude´n´ugly statements here – like spitted out by la Grande Asshole himself.



And no, I don´t feel any sorry for saying what I had in my mind towards this utterly pathetic attempt to make a load of ´true (whatever in Hell…!)´ Black Metal songs and impress me by them all. And if any of you want me to burn in the hottest flames of Hell, well then, I´m having no problem with that at all either. The much bigger problem I was having w/ this piece of shit as it already caused me a major headache, fuckers…
