Gallhammer - Gloomy Lights

A great band from Japan consisting of three girls. You clearly know the reference without listening to the band, but Gallhammer has more references than just Hellhammer. This is raw and primitive metal with hints of Beherit and Burzum and the driving force of early Celtic Frost and U.K crust. There are quite a few headbanging tracks on this one, and that's what's most important for me; the energy. I quite like the opening which reminds me of this horror movie "the Grudge" if I'm not mistaking. And the last track brings me straight to Japan with their wicked lolita girls going total suicidal and enjoying it.
