Western Decadence is characteristic, quintessential ANAL BLASPHEMY: unhinged, untamed, morbid, murky, doomed, disgusting, primordial, PRIMITIVE. It’s a sound both obedient to and defiant of black metal’s ugliest, most underground-entrenched traditions; not for nothing is ANAL BLASPHEMY so justly named. But in other, more telling ways, Western Decadence is a new start for the band, or at least a very new chapter. The shambling shock & awe of early albums like Bestial Black Metal Filth and Profane Fornication Ejaculation has given way to a moodier and more considered ANAL BLASPHEMY, the roots of which began to show on the relatively more varied Perversions of Satan. Here on Western Decadence, Molestor Kadotus creates a succinct song-cycle whereby pulsing, hypnotic filth gives way to messy, melancholic laments, from headbanging almost-anthems to mulching electro/ambient soundcapes, and often with the haunting organic textures he’s utilized in Musta Kappeli. And fitting for the band’s grandest statement yet, Western Decadence is the first ANAL BLASPHEMY album to be fully recorded in a professional studio. Witness the fall of the West and feel deep devotion to the Devil: this is Western Decadence.
