Ayat - Six Years of Dormant Hatred

Speaking of quality black metal logos, Ayat has an excellent one as well! It feels incongruous to post such an ugly album on such a beautiful day, but there's surely plenty of ugliness in the future, and we want to be prepared, yes? Lebanese underground black metal in the truest sense - their outspoken rejection of Allah and all organized religion is surely winning them few friends. Defying easy categorizing, this album spans a variety of sub-genres from punk to ambient to noise to thrash, but what unites it is a particularly violent, venomous disgust with the human race and the world they scuttle about helplessly on. Ayat wants you die, and this record might make that happen. How can you not love a song called "Puking Under Radiant Moonlight?"
