Album Review: Dark Fortress - Venereal Dawn

Germany’s Dark Fortress return with the most br00tal warning about safe sex practices ever.

“Rawwwr! Rawwr! Crabs are from Hades. Rawwr,” vocalist Morean never howls… But he should. Nothing is more kvlt than a clean bill of sexual health. If remaining disease-free is the most kvlt thing anyone can do, perhaps the second most necro option is to put on Venereal Dawn. It just gets it right; a balance of symphonic and melodic parts that doesn’t detract from the brootz, death march riffage and an overall sense that this is what Dimmu Borgir should be doing.
