None of the songs on Demo MMXI even breach the three minute mark, yet they are surprisingly dynamic, owing as much to punk as they do to black metal in their utterly ferocious brevity. Don’t let that description lead you into believing that Blut Der Nacht are yet another entry in the parade of faceless “blackened d-beat” bands that are clogging the scene of late (the same way quarter pounder grease clogs a fat man’s arteries) though, because Demo MMXI is black metal through and through. It’s a study in pure hatred that’s positively dripping with noxious venom.
