Get ready for some howling black metal from Greece! One-man band DODSFERD is the project of Wrath and "Fucking Your Creation" is sure to be mentioned as one of the year's best black metal albums. Talk about a man that takes the hellish spew of the early Norwegian masters seriously! The album has got it all: seething nihilism, monstrous black 'n' roll, and definitive, old-school black metal atmosphere. And it sounds great too! Raw as hell with a natural drum sound, vicious guitar tone, and all the sonic sootiness you can handle.

Not a second of the 38-minute running time is wasted and each song is distinct, while still fitting perfectly within the overall album framework. The second and third tracks in particular (after the bone-chilling intro "Die in Pain"),"…And Disease was Spread in a Matter of Seconds" and "I was Welcome only By Death" are most worthy of note and wholly deserving of praise. Clocking in at 11 and 12 minutes, respectively, the tracks offer blackened DARKTHRONE grooves, vintage black metal guitar harmonies, and Wrath's hair-raising screech vocals. Both the title track and "Wrath" are blood-spattered and filled with dread, the latter especially disconcerting due to the Wrath's screams of agony over a basic (and buzzing) guitar line and crackling feedback; it is the height of misery. The title track also boasts a nasty riff and an aura that is sonically equivalent to the scraping of metal against bone. Throw in some prime samples, especially the Vincent Price bits, and you've got one hell of a black metal album.

If black metal is about all feeling (and it is),then "Fucking Your Creation" goes well beyond a vague sense of horror and into the kind of bodily possession that most have only read about. Pretenders to the throne had better take cover now. This is the real deal, folks. Be afraid.
