Diabolos Rising - 666 (1994)

Diabolos Rising is an industrial metal project set up in 1994 (I think) by Mika Luttinen from Finland (Impaled Nazarene) and Magus Wampyr Daoloth aka George Zaharopoulos from Greece (Necromantia, Thou Art Lord, ex-Rotting Christ). Both also formed another industrial project called Raism.

I rediscovered this release at my old neighbour p'Thoelen's place and it brought back some pleasant memories, as I used to have this on tape. It's somewhat similar to Impaled Nazarene, but more mechanical, closer to industrial than to heavy metal. At points the music reaches out to progressive structures; an interesting choice for both industrial and metal lovers. But be ready for some ultra-fast and aggressive stuff here!
