<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s 1994 all over again. Few bands within the unblack metal underground are as obscure or difficult to get into as the mysterious Duister Maanlicht from the Netherlands. Centred around the label Sneeuwstorm Produkties and featuring a ludicrous amount of rotating band members in its history, Duister Maanlicht\u2019s black metal is about as raw as it gets – just the way I like it. This is black metal for lovers of the hostile sounds that most metalheads think of when they think of black metal; in other words, it\u2019s not for everybody, nor really is it designed to be. You\u2019ll notice a huge gap in the band\u2019s releases, with a lengthy hiatus being taken from around 2005 to 2020, with long-time member Heidendoder taking over the band entirely from 2021 onward. Though some of the band\u2019s best efforts can be found on their EP\u2019s, here we\u2019ll be sticking to albums only. With that in mind, let\u2019s take a deep dive into the furthest reaches of the underground and rank every Duister Maanlicht release!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Als Zwarte Engelen Sterven<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve usually found that a band\u2019s earliest recordings are generally their best, being the band at their most unadulterated, pure, and original. Not so here; in fact, spoiler alert – this band only gets better with age in many cases. Duister Maanlicht\u2019s debut is almost the black metal equivalent of no-wave music; in other words, it\u2019s almost anti-music. As far as I can tell, no members on this album are even still in the band (not even Heidendoder, who is the longest running and only remaining member of the band!), but hey – Napalm Death has had no original members since the second half of Scum<\/em>. It happens sometimes. But musically-speaking, this one just doesn\u2019t work. The vocals are raspy, juvenile whines, the drum machine whirs and spits like a broken fan, and the whole thing feels like an experiment. Only for the curious and the completionists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tocht door het Dodenrijk<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s pretty interesting to me when a band trashes their own material – according to the Sneeuwstorm Produkties Bandcamp site, it\u2019s \u201cthe worst ever Duister Maanlicht release.\u201d<\/a> Is it? No, I think that\u2019s reserved for their debut. But it certainly isn\u2019t particularly good either, and is in my mind, a step back from Vaandeldragers van het kwaad<\/em>. The mix is lopsided in every direction, the vocals very upfront in the mix, the guitar tone sounds like a tiny practice amp set to maximum treble, and the drums tinny and distant. Obviously, I\u2019m probably being too harsh considering how this was probably never intended to be anything other than some demo-level experimentation, but when you compare it all to the band\u2019s other material, it\u2019s hard to dig it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vaandeldragers van det Kwaad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A massive leap in quality from their debut. Don\u2019t get the wrong idea however. Allegedly a rehearsal turned into an album, Vaandeldragers van het kwaad<\/em> is the audio equivalent of a barely-seared piece of meat. Imagine the frostbitten drunken chaos of Darkthrone\u2019s classic Panzerfaust<\/em> mixed with the ultra-harsh noise of Verdelger all mashed into one, but played live in a garage somewhere in 1991 by a band just getting the hang of their instruments. It\u2019s not musically very proficient, but you get the impression when listening to this that they\u2019re on the right track. For myself, I find the ridiculously lo-fi rawness of this one charming in spite of itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Woude van de Kwade Geest<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining elements of both the records that preceded it, Woude van de Kwade Geest <\/em>mixes the repetitive black metal of Over Zwarte Kunsten, Hekserij en Andere Dienaren van het Kwaad<\/em> with the hypnotic rhythms of Wolves in the Throne Room\u2019s Black Cascade<\/em>, albeit with a much more lo-fi, muddled production. The riffing here offers a bit more of a sense of melody amidst the melancholy and the darkness while maintaining the minimalist approach the band has become known for in its latter era. That said, the songs tend to blur together too much on this one for it to get a higher ranking. Still, it\u2019s miles and miles ahead of the three above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over Zwarte Kunsten, Hekserij en Andere Dienaren van het Kwaad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duister Maanlicht\u2019s return album after around 15 years of silence,Over Zwarte Kunsten, Hekserij en Andere Dienaren van het Kwaad<\/em>sets the tone for the band\u2019s sound from this point in time on. Drawing heavily from the droning raw black metal heard not only on Darkthrone\u2019s Transilvanian Hunger<\/em>, but also Paysage d\u2019Hiver\u2019s Nacht<\/em>, Duister Maanlicht embark on a minimalistic homage to early 90\u2019s black metal in a big way here. The difference with this one from other later works is in its heavier bass tone and more upfront, deeper vocal work. For me, the strength of Heidendoder\u2019s vocals lies in their being woven into the rest of the instruments, neither dominating nor being buried, and this one\u2019s vocals are just a little too upfront to put it higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Influisteringin van de Duivel<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopting a more latter-day Darkthrone influence (i.e. a sort of crusty black \u2019n roll sound), Heaven\u2019s Metal\u2019s very own fellow extreme metal fan Loyd Harp noted elements of early crust punk on this one<\/a>. If you\u2019ve dug the sounds of anything Darkthrone has done from Panzerfaust <\/em>to Arctic Thunder<\/em>, and love what Anima Mortuum is doing, this one will be to your liking. The dynamic approach heard on this one (relatively speaking, of course) is a breath of fresh air, with sole member Heidendoder nailing the perfect mix of first and second wave black metal. It\u2019s frankly exciting to hear this blast of old school black metal coming out today without it all feeling artificial. One of the band\u2019s strongest efforts, and their most varied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over Ketters, Heksen en Anders Gespuis<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last release before the band\u2019s self-imposed years-long hiatus, Over Letters, Heksen en Anders Gespuis<\/em> begins with a strange folkish flute intro before descending into utter chaos. This is the album that is the long-lost sibling to Verdelger\u2019s uber-feral In Het Holst van de Zwarte Nacht<\/em> – a singularly unpleasant (in a good way) slab of rancorous black metal rife with ear-piercing feedback (think Ulver\u2019s Nattens Madrigal<\/em> album), super overdriven distortion, crisp and frantic drum work, and absolutely blood-curdling shrieks. For some reason, the ominous-sounding funeral march of \u201cIn het Klooster van het Kwaad\u201d is produced at half the volume or so of the rest of the album, but frankly, that\u2019s my only real complaint about this record. This is nasty stuff in the vein of Fire Throne\u2019s infamous 2004 demo\u2019s, the band at their most visceral, and I\u2019m here for it. The best of the pre-hiatus period by a long shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Werken van de duisternis<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Werken van de Duisternis<\/em> picks up where Woude van de Kwade Geest<\/em> left off, keeping the melancholic tone of the latter while emphasizing a clearer production, more structural variation, and greater atmosphere. The riffs on here sound like genuine lamentations, much like what Heidendoder has been doing with his more atmospheric black metal project Herfstdood. Here, I find the overt Darkthrone circa-Transilvanian Hunger <\/em>vibes of Woude van de Kwade Geest <\/em>have here been blended quite well with the sounds of old-school USBM act Judas Iscariot and developed into a slightly more nuanced and fresher sound. Heidendoder\u2019s (perhaps unintentional) spin on the riff heard on the title track of Judas Iscariot\u2019s Heaven in Flames <\/em>release works on so many levels, and in \u201cIn het Vuur Geworpen\u201d keeps up with the first-wave black metal stylings of Anima Mortuum in a big way. It\u2019s arguably the band\u2019s best work yet, upping the production value without losing in any way the lo-fi sound the band is known for. Autumnal, brooding, classic black metal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
