Control Human Delete - Terminal World Perspective
Code 666

file under black/pagan metal

Roel de Haan: Control Human Delete is a young Dutch band that plays so-called post-black metal. As with most bands fitting that bill they have been influenced by Thorns, Dødheimsgard and Satyricon (‘Rebel Extravaganza’ era). In short, they have that so-called Moonfog sound. Still, Control Human Delete take this style to an altogether different plane of existence by adding a variety of different elements to their furious black metal.

Most notable are the extensive flirtations with ambient music and techno instrumentations which come to the fore by the use of programmed drums. The latter are at times ridiculously fast but somehow this seems fitting. However, ‘Terminal World Perspective’ is at its most brooding and interesting in the slower (metal) parts. Often industrial sounds and sampled soundeffect play a role in creating a post-apocalyptic atmosphere which at times is really outstanding. With its impressive length of 71 minutes this is an extensive slab of interesting black metal, strictly for the open-minded.
