Ungod - Bewitched by Sins and Lust

Ungod
Bewitched by Sins and Lust
2016 Final Gate Records
Despite having many lineup changes over the years, leaving drummer Condemptor as the sole remaining original member, Germany's Ungod have managed to cut a niche for themselves as one of black metal's perhaps lesser known but highly respected bands.  The kind of band that many would call "cult."  I think their debut, "Circle of the Seven Infernal Pacts," is fairly well known, but until the followup "Cloaked in Eternal Darkness" in 2011, there were eighteen years of only sporadic demos and split eps.  And now, five years after that last full length, we have "Bewitched by Sins and Lust." Despite there being twenty three years between this album and the debut, Ungod have remained true to their original sound, keeping their black metal as orthodox as possible and sounding like themselves.  The production quality of course is better, but stylistically there are no radical changes.  If Condemptor has gotten bored, this album doesn't show it.  I've always been one for quality over quantity (although if there's a large quantity that's all quality, I'm all for it), and Ungod have never been one to disappoint... no matter how many years between releases it is.
