“12 minutes of harsh, stomping, punk-tinged US Black Metal”, so says the blurb provided by PRGNT Records, the label responsible for unleashing this maniacal piece of work from California’s House of Apparition. It’s only 12 minutes long so there’s not a whole lot going on here – it’s simply noisy, clangy black metal, which is indeed rife with a punk flair in its execution.
This is the second demo release from House of Apparition, but the first released by PRGNT. The most important aspect of this demo is its confrontational don’t-give-a-flying-fuck attitude. The nihilistic capacity of these 12 minutes is constantly in your face, giving way to a corrosive, uneasy listening experience.

The vocals are totally indiscernible, sometimes melding seamlessly with the harsh, dissonant guitars, leaving you pondering where exactly that noise is coming from. One song ends and another quickly begins, never giving in with it sonic molestation. It’s vile, wretched noise from start to finish. Enter if you dare.
The demo cassette is out on PRGNT Records
