Warthur
If you liked Immolation's Close to a World Below, then you're in luck here, because Unholy Cult basically offers the same general sound all over again. Musically speaking it isn't a revolution by any means, but there is a slight tonal shift; whereas Close to the World Below felt like a dire threat coming after the listener, Unholy Cult is more purposeful in its aggression, like the music already has the listener in its power and is deciding just which bone to break. There aren't any particularly slow or menacing pieces this time around either, but the compositions are solid enough that the album's 42 minutes feels like it's over in half an hour.
