Bloodstained Dusk
"Dirge of Death's Silence"
(Necropolis Records)

By Martha Hughes

When I think of Alabama, a couple things come to mind. Former governor George Wallace for one, and 'Sweet Home Alabama' by Lynryd Skynryd (or were actually from Florida) for another. I do not thing of black metal, well, at least I didn't until I heard Bloodstained Dusk. This is a band not to be missed. Decked out in black metal, spikes and corpse-painted faces, they play black metal the way it should be played; with swords drawn and fires lit. 'Anger conquers all sorrows, black warlocks of ancient wisdom, set forth their eclipse.' The higher-than-high screams burst out, introducing us to their Satanic world. This is only a small portion of the first song 'Moon Behind the Storm.' Every song contains intensified energy turned to dark anger. This is the perfect soundtrack for our violent times. The lyrics are as complex as the music, and they hold forth in the American black metal court. Hail!
