Spanish Mist of Doom play a black metal/crust crossover that's a compelling and refreshing take on two genres that can prove stagnant. The crust riffs energize the affair and create a sense of urgency while the cold black metal riffs preserve the anger and pure hate that black metal should have. It winds up acting a bit like black thrash in practice, and adherents of that style would do well to investigate this band. The production is crisp and hard-edged, and the guitar tones are bright and black at the same time. It's also very natural sounding, almost a live sound. The band's black metal side is a bit introspective and laid back - I'd prefer some blasting hell here, but what they're doing works well enough. Vocally, we get a black metal croak that also has the power of punk anger behind it, and they're very well-performed. This is definitely something to check out if you prefer black thrash or black punk, it will be well worth your while.
