Well, these days, which are so fill of plastic, we are constantly getting swamped with shitty music…and that’s why KNIFE`s debut album seems pure bliss to my tormented soul, the soul that needs to feel music like it did in the past. KNIFE is a time-travel machine that takes us for a journey to the era when METAL was the only air we used to breathe in.

Pure and unspoiled, like all the stuff that used to be recorded and released back in the day, in other words, totally honest music of highest order. Yes, it is different now. Anyone can record and release music these days…which usually is ultimately unoriginal and simply worthless.

You know, now and then, it is really hard to get through all this crappy stuff poured onto our heads. So, when we finally find something as good as KNIFE`s debut album, we need to cherish the moment to the fullest. Sadly, there are fewer and fewer bands like KNIFE around. Indeed, when I listen to KNIFE`s music I can feel their music is a promise that metal music shall never die.

Because crews like KNIFE hold the metal banner high and proud – against all the trends and fashions. Just play this album and you’ll find out how sincere and candid this stuff is.

What KNIFE does is solid, reliable. This is old-school played with love and passion.

This is the blaze in the sky which shall never be put down. An omnipotent fire that will devour all that is sacred.

They add fuel to this fire, and the fuel is their passion and glorification of old school metal.

When I listen to “Inside the Electric Church” for instance, I can imagine a killer`s hand stealthily cutting the victim`s throat in at a night`s full moon.

This song is very catchy, but not overly so. Same for “White Witch Black Death”, what a song, this one. This just kicks ass. Another good song is “K.N.I.F.E.” n` there are more gems like these in this Crown of the Dark Lord. “Sword Loser”, “The Hallowed Chamber of Storms” and this awesome “Demon Wind” shine emitting unusual power.

This album has no weak songs, no fillers. KNIFE`s debut album is 12 blows after which you are knocked down and knocked out.

These songs are truly breathtaking, no way you can stop blasting these. I will tell you something else. They’re just getting started, these KNIFE guys.

Well, unless you`ve known of them before, go get this stuff. Very recommended.
