CALVARIUM
“The Skull Of Golgotha”
(Dynamic Arts)

When the first reflection you make is that the band has put more effort into the sound being “true” than actually sounding more than just OK you know you’re in for something that can’t be too good. “The Skulls Of Golgotha” is one black metal album that would have worked so much better with a fuller, richer sound instead of the high pitched and barb wired one it is crowned with now. Musically this isn’t anything that Marduk or Dark Funeral hasn’t done before. In a way this is typical Finnish black metal, a cross between Darkthrone and Dark Funeral. But what was once fresh has very rapidly become stale.
