HELL MILITIA – canonisation of foul spirit LP cloudy

200 x transparent black cloudy vinyl, a 24-page 10″ booklet, an A2 poster and a download-code

HELL MILITIA, an assemblage of the vilest and most depraved individuals the French underground has spawned who have earned themselves a bad reputation by participating in among others MÜTIILATION, ARKHON INFAUSTUS and TEMPLE OF BAAL burst onto the scene with their first full length in 2005. Preceded only by an appearance on a split 7 inch and a demo, the aptly titled Canonisation of the Foul Spirit was unleashed to wreak havoc and soil anything pure and holy in utter contempt. The album comprises 10 tracks (Psalms) with a professional but not too clean studio production allowing for each instrument to be easily distinguished from one another without resulting in sounding polished or sterile. The riffs which are not too far removed from what one can hear on some of the albums the members have had a hand in and the quality of the songwriting disclose the fact that HELL MILITIA are anything but newcomers. The demented vocals that grace jolly carols like “Burning Human Pigs”, “Prophecy from the Mutilated Children” or “Black Fucking Cancer” are cantillated by none other than Meyhnach from MÜTIILATION. Listening to him preaching the false gospel and spewing foul bile in his characteristic, unmistakable way of madness is certainly one of the highlights of Canonisation of the Foul Spirit.
