2012 Hell's Headbangers
Pseudogod hail from Russia, a country from which my metal knowledge is sorely lacking. I'm familiar with Ария, Teitanfyre, Korrozia Metalla, Тиран, E.S.T. and a handful of others (as well as bands that I know the names of but have not actually heard the music). But in what I have encountered so far from there, I have never heard anything even remotely like Pseudogod. Without a doubt, they are Russia's answer to the Canadian so-called "war metal" scene, of which Blasphemy is the best known band. Other similar bands hailing from all corners of the globe would be Proclamation, Diocletian, Beherit, Archgoat... you get the idea. Bestial, vomitous, evil... all good adjectives for Pseudogod. They are absolutely the type of band that when someone says they listen to "everything," you know damned well that they've never even imagined music like this exists. Everything about this band just reeks of hateful intent and total conviction to what they do. Not just in the music, but in the coverart of the album and the overall layout. One of my favorites of 2012 for sure!
