Mysticum - In The Streams Of Inferno FLAC

Outstanding blistering black metal with an industrial edge, though the bulk of this comes from the band's utilization of a drum machine that purposefully sounds NOTHING like a live drummer. As well, some ambient/industrial sections are dispersed throughout, mainly found within the first and final tracks. The combination of these two factors gives this album a very unique sound rarely found in the multitude of carbon-copy bands that were pouring out of Scandinavia around this time.
After the "success" of this album within the metal underground, news began to circulate that Jan Axel Blomberg (aka Hellhammer) was being considered to take over the drumming responsibilities, but that the band decided against this as they would lose the edge that the drum machine gave them. This is a hilarious factoid when one considers how legendary Hellhammer is within the BM scene, and how he could be turned down when offering his services.
