DIABOLOS RISING / 666 (1994)

The first album from the Darkwave/Industrial outfit, made up of only two members, Mika Luttinen (Impaled Nazarene) and Magus Wampyr Daoloth (Rotting Christ, and N.A.O.S.), is seven songs about Satanism and misanthropy that are somewhat sinister and somewhat comical. I'm not sure if the latter ingredient was intentional, but I'll take the added entertainment value. It sounds like a Black Metal version of early Ministry in places, which is kind of fun.

Songs of Note: Give Me Blood or Give Me Death; Sorcery - Scientia Maxima
