Wampyric Bloodlust - Expectation Of Eternal Torment

Review by Lee Hyde

Wampyric Bloodlust's Expectation Of Eternal Torment is an intense and relentless album that is sure to please fans of extreme metal. The band's signature blend of black metal and death metal is on full display here, with blistering riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals that will leave listeners feeling battered and bruised.

The album opens with the punishing track "Descent Into Darkness," which sets the tone for what's to come. From there, Wampyric Bloodlust delivers a series of brutal tracks that showcase their technical prowess and uncompromising vision. "The Gates Of Hell" and "Eternal Torment" are particularly noteworthy, with their intricate guitar work and pummeling rhythms.

Despite the album's unrelenting brutality, there are moments of beauty and atmosphere that add depth and texture to the music. "The Blackened Sun" and "The Abyss Of Despair" are haunting and atmospheric, providing a brief respite from the onslaught of the rest of the album.

Summary by Lee Hyde

Expectation Of Eternal Torment is a must-listen for fans of extreme metal. Wampyric Bloodlust have crafted an album that is both punishing and nuanced, showcasing their technical skill and uncompromising vision. Highly recommended.
