Brazilian Bestial Black Metal duo Kanvass signs a pact of blood with Hammer of Damnation for their debut album “Downfall of Individuality” featuring 11 songs of total massacre devoted to the 90’s scene! This album will be released under the banner of Necrohate, a sublabel of Hammer of Damnation in March 2022.
Kanvass has been active since 2008 and although we didn’t have a full album record until recently, the band’s unrestrained rigor and aggressiveness made them sign with Necrohate.
And with total exclusivity – worthy of the B.M.T. – we have first hand the debut album of Brazilian Kanvass. An aggressive album with a 90’s aura and impactful sound. Downfall of Individuality has everything to be one of the great revelations of the national extreme metal. “Down of the tainted Sun” with everything that Black Metal from the 90s has to offer: fast and sharp riffs, raw and with tremolo picking at will, blast beats like the march of a hellish horde and with lo-fi production enriched by the advances we have today and unconventional sound structures.
The album remains merciless and tracks like “”Suppress the Insolent” prove that Black metal is reinventing itself as it looks back to its roots. The track is killer and the guitar riffs pack the hateful melody giving a lot of depth to the riffs that blend together. with the beats a la Satyricon, Marduk and Emperor, a fact notorious in the violent “Tyranny Of Fools” in its endless loop that makes the track a hellish kaleidoscope that germinates hatred in each pick.
Track by track, Downfall of Individuality as a whole brings the flames of Black Metal to its place of origin and proves that it is possible to use innovations and the technological framework to your advantage and apply that to old school teachings. There is a negative vibe in the album and this is perhaps the essence that leads us to the downfall of individuality, of man as a single being in his creation. A tribute to the beginning, to the essence and to the beginnings of times, is what we hear throughout the album. it is majestic. Timeless. A necessary album for desolate times, an auditory ellipse to attentive ears and a strength for those who don’t know what to expect. all caution is little in the face of the end of individuality as we know it.
