Cobalt - Arsonry

When we think of Black Metal, we think of frostbitten guys who went through all their effort, recording videos of them in the forest surviving hypothermia for your enjoyment; You sadistic bastards. Well, now you have another alternative. Here is an alcohol powered case of PTSD coating your black metal. The sound coming from Cobalt is a Black Metal but with a glaze of the American South and crust sprinkled all over it. The result is an angry, bitter, yet fast paced as punk rock but in its essence is Black Metal that sounds distinctively sounds Americans. It sounds as if it had no Scandinavian roots. This sounds as if hell was run by men who had PTSD after the Iraqi invasion and found their wives betraying them while abroad. The slides during the outro just sounds as if the last bucket of gasoline poured onto the soldier’s bed, with him on it, and his wife tied to it. It’s suicidal but it represents anger for the world's futility, not self-hatred.
