VON - Dark Gods: Seven Billion Slaves Album Review

Exclaims!’s 2013 In Lists: The Year In Young Hardcore/Old Metal

If there is one genre most indebted to the pioneers of the genre, it’s black metal, and from the raw production values and buzzing riffs to the fierce rejection of institutionalized religion. VON are generally recognized as the first American black metal band, and though the group (who were originally active from 1987 to 1992) initially released only a pair of demos, in 2012 they released a debut full-length debut and re-visioning of their earlier material, Satanic Blood. This year, they released the first installment an all-new project, entitled Dark Gods: Seven Billion Slaves. Their influence can still be felt in the most blackened and blistering edges of younger bands, from Watain to French Canadian act Gris.
