Feast Of Anger / Joy Of Despair (LP)
Multi-instrumentist and mastermind Honza Kapák has always been a busy man to say the least: he played drums in the name of black-metal for MANIAC BUTCHER or for the glory of the pagan gods in PANYCHIDA, did both vocals and guitar in BLACK RAIN and now thrashes it all out on guitar with RADIOLOKATOR. But his main band since 1992 has always been and remains AVENGER, now one of Czech Republic's premiere and oldest black/death act. And their most glorious move is now officially available on DOOMENTIA, the way it ought to sound AND look. Released on CD format in 2009 by DEATHGASM RECORDS (usa) and GROM RECORDS in Europe after two intense years of work at Kapak own studio, 'Feast Of Anger - Joy Of Despair' wasn't 'just' AVENGER's fourth full-length in seventeen years. By far, their best album of their career, it represented the quintessence of the band's art, the perfect combination of death-metal tight musicianship and black-metal's epic and decadent vibe, boosted by Honza's vocals incantations, featuring for the first time since 1999's 'Fall Of Devotion, Wrath And Blasphemy' lyrics entirely written in Czech, although the songs have English titles. Unique to say the least, 'Feast Of Anger - Joy Of Despair' is like classic DISSECTION by the way of ROOT or MASTER's HAMMER - that is intense yet melodic and extremely well-performed extreme metal, adorned with that unique weirdness only Czech bands seem to possess. Now presented in a beautifully designed cover and all brand new, and shall we say, splendid artwork by renowned artist Andrei Bouzikov (AUTOPSY, MUNICIPAL WASTE, NOCTURNAL GRAVES, SKELETONWITCH and many, many others), this long awaited vinyl version is worthy of this modern black/death classic.
