Gloomy Grim released a compilation "Fuck The World, War Is War!" on 24th June 2017 and it's a limited edition release as well. This Finnish black metal masters released this jewel a year after their 6th full length album "The Age of Aquarius" and consists of 8 memorable tracks from their classic "Fuck The World, Kill The Jehova!" demo (1996) and also "Friendship Is Friendship, War Is War!" demo (1997).
What can we expect from this gem? Cold and horrific black metal tunes that sure will bring back good old memories from the early days of the second wave black metal era. The first 5 tracks of this compilation was the band's early recording way back when Agathon runs the band alone for the demo "Fuck The World, Kill The Jehova!" And Agathon managed to find band members to complete Gloomy Grim and recorded their second demo "Friendship Is Friendship, War Is War!". The arrangement and composition is quite minimal and simple to be compared to other releases today while keeping the horror atmosphere with its twisted synth and keyboard parts accompanied by heavy but dark guitar sound and the pounding bass together with the drum works.
Almost perfect for old school black metal fans who are looking for something nostalgic to listen to, it's worth revisiting just to remind ourselves how the scene was back in the golden days and to cherish fond memories of being isolated by society.
