For now, Order of the Source Below are one of the Netherlands’ best kept secrets but don’t expect this to last long. With a chaotic take on black metal that seems to pick up where Deathspell Omega recently left off, these Dutch evildoers are ones to watch. In the words of the band:
“Order of the Source Below represents the desperate expression of demonic, ungraspable metaphysical senses and feelings that slumber within our bodies and seek to evoke horrific acts in man. Order of the Source Below is a black metal band, creating an atmospheric aggressive technical threat to the black metal standard. Fresh new perspectives and old visions join forces to exploit the black metal landscape, squeezing it dry and transforming it into a sonic horror storm.”
There are only two songs available to the unwitting public at the moment with ‘Allfather’ and ‘Vanitas’ but a single listen infuses the above quote with a sinister meaning. Order of the Source Below harnesses the forces of chaos into brilliantly melodic yet atonal assaults on the senses. I don’t know if that even makes sense, but they seem to make it possible anyway. Multiple guitars cascade through discordant arpeggios, building a menacing legion of riffs that linger in the unconscious mind. Through blasting avant-garde metal to austere mid-tempo stomps, it seems that this demo is only scratching the surface of what Order of the Source Below will be capable of given time.
With 60 minutes of material already penned for what will become their debut full-length, the only obstacle between these hideous ruminations being unleashed upon the metal community is a lack of a label. The band (featuring members of the eclectic Nihill, Transmission0 and Exivious) compares itself to the works of Deathspell Omega, Leviathan and Ved Buens Ende, and with a lack of any other reference for these slabs of audial terror, they’re right on the money. So if you are in a position to release some music, consider this band. Surely all that subsequently listen to the demo will agree: we need to hear the album.
Ga het luisteren! Erg goed!
