Why do the heathen rage? : electronic profanations of black metal classics

"There's no doubting that this is a strange album, but it is a runaway success. It's catchy, perfectly executed, and succeeds in both honouring the better aspects of a much maligned scene whilst also sticking two fingers up at the horrific ideologies that still populate it".

"Black metal is pop's darkest genre. However, Drew Daniel (from Baltimore electronic duo Matmos) has exploited the genre's vast potential for sending up. Recruiting vocalists from Anthony Hegarty to members of Wye Oak, he has reinvented the genre's classics into camp dance music, a "queer travesty" of "electronic profanations" ... Ironically, the most radical makeovers highlight how great some of these songs are. Jenn Wasner brilliantly feminises Sarcofogo's Ready to Fuck ("stand up to see my penetrator hammer!") as soulful, sexually ecstatic house, while An's Let There Be Ebola Frost ("A is for annihilation!") cleverly becomes a gospel stomp so holy you could almost play it in a church".
