America's original black metal band, VON are now streaming their new album, Dark Gods – Seven Billion Slaves, over at their official Bandcamp page. This is the first LP of brand new material the band has ever released and it's been a loooooong time coming.
If you're already familiar with VON, then you know what to expect – nonstop blast beats and hypnotically repetitive guitar parts supporting founding member, Venien's distorted growls. Regardless of how you feel about the current incarnation of VON's legitimacy, it's worth at least listening to Seven billion Slaves once. VON aren't blazing any new trails here, but the music is good, the production is solid, and the entire album drips with evil atmosphere. These guys are the definition of "Trve Kvlt Black Metal" and you owe it to yourself to check them out if you're not initiated into the fold yet.
So light some black candles, prepare the altar, and head over to VON's Bandcamp page to listen or buy the album on vinyl, CD, or MP3 form.
