Black Anvil offers severely sinister yet surprisingly anthemic black metal in the grand Scandinavian tradition—with a little New York hardcore seasoning the mix—as heard on a new full-length, Hail Death, which the band performs in its entirety here. Also on board are Psalm Zero, which offers a bludgeoning yet beautifully textured update on Godflesh-style industrial metal; veteran Jersey thrash crew Fantom Warior; and transporting local black-metal progressives Yellow Eyes.
