Radioactive Germanic Black Metal
Dauþuz is a German band known for releasing killer black metal opuses and Uranium is here to keep the traditions of the mid-tempo black metal grandiosity.
First song Pechblende (Gedeih und Verderben) showcases a kind of folk black metal that appeals to the fans of utterly European Metal and Dauþuz won’t let them down on this one with their luxuriousness and the solo by the mid of the long song won’t disregard their fans’ expectations, with their melodies so Germanic and so European.
The resonances in Radonquell 1666 are tip-top and the shadows of DSBM will appeal to the more hardcore black metal fans for sure, here the song shows first rate music and I believe nobody will dislike this great track that has some laments by the middle to final of the music. A highlight.
Wüst die Heimat has a riff strangely reminiscent of Beethoven 9th Symphony and I’m not even kidding. The song is fast and disgraceful. Well produced and kind of raw at the same time, only old-schoolers of black metal will admire that, maybe including new fans alike, who knows?
The grade-A black metal continues with another outstanding song of folk resemblance that is called Ein Werkzeug des Todes, over again variating in phrases as the song progresses with its anthemic pace that is mind-boggling as a cryptogram working its magic on black metal aficionados while Wismut »Justiz« start anew with more bellows and bullseye riffs.
Last track Uranfeuer 55 and its strange name deliver the goods and the song just as the vocals is excellently wrought and wondrously done, showcasing, they are already great and tailor-made for black metal.
Uranium is an album as good as its predecessor Vom schwarzen Schmied that won’t fail admirers of the fine art of European Black Metal.
Uranium is out today on Amor Fati.
