HASTUR – Live In Fear tape

Description

Real rough early black metal (1994) from these Italians. I really like this, but its the kinda thing that almost certainly went under everyone’s radar back then, cos Burzum it is not! Keyboards are kinda amateurishly plonked into the mix and often it sounds quite death metal…and there are definite leanings to where metal was going in the mid 90s going on there! Which is cool I guess, cos this really is a product of its time. Worth a listen if not a classic of the genre (as everything these days is proclaimed to be!)
