JPI Vio-Lens Kommand - For One Night We Woke Up with Eyes Like Stones LP

Bestial speed metal a thing? Well, it is now because these guys are doing it. When I got the CD as a promo in the mail I had no idea what to expect. Perhaps from the eastern inspired layout I had expected something like a War Vellum like release (brick wall noise bm fest) but what I heard was a very original take on bestial black metal and speed thrash mixture? It’s really difficult to put my finger on what this style is exactly because it’s very original and unlike anything that I’ve heard in a while. Speaking to the band members it’s clear that their tastes are also all over the place which helps to put this album into context. In today’s overcrowded scene where subgenre sound adherence and specific visual aesthetics are followed like religious tenets it’s refreshing to see a band create something that’s completely devoid of any guardrails.
