Originally a cassette-only release, Canadian black metal group Akitsa’s 2002 debut full-length, Goétie, has just received a proper CD reissue by New York City’s Hospital Productions. Now, all you lo-fi black metal fiends who missed out on the hard-to-find original, can finally get your fill of Goétie’s slashed-throat vocals, bouts of blasted noise and distorted suicidal rage.
Opener “Ouverture de l’Espirit” sets the dark mood nicely. Drummer Néant delivers arrhythmic beats, while multi-instrumentalist O.T. deploys an ambling, clean guitar line that delicately weaves through a billowing curtain of fuzzy guitars as his vocals slowly chant “ahhh.”
“Haine et Vengeance” (translated “Hate and Vengeance”) boasts some killer jackhammer snare/kick-drum action and jagged guitar assault. This is some traditional gritty black metal topped with Akitsa’s powerful, hateful vocals.
But the kicker comes with the surprising, “Les Ruines de la Modernité.” The song trudges along like a beautiful lamentation only to suddenly drop into a pit of scorching and blistering noise. Warning, if you’re not careful this bubbling black mass of chaos will fry out your speakers.
Akitsa’s Goétie is the sound of a band taking form by forging itself in the fire. At times they veer off the path (“Affront Final” has an actual surfer-punk ‘a go-go’ beat), but mostly Akitsa are locked into a singular purpose: to slay and hate and distort oneself beyond recognition. And that is where Akitsa shine. Goétie is a beautifully blackened work of overdriven madness. Get a copy. Rip it open. Gorge yourself. – Ian Caskey

Why are we promoting NSBM? Instead of accepting and promoting fascists work, why don’t we let this crap die in the gutters where it belongs and promote a way better Canadian BM band, like Iskra.
Who told you Akisa was NSBM? I guess Iskra is your band, right? Go beg for a review, Metalkult surely has a contact address and a mailbox for you to mail your promo CD-R.
Why do you complain Rock against Fascism???
Akitsa is true underground band, the people who should get shocked by Akitsa great work doesnt even know black metal… stop with your insignificant battle agaisnt nsbm…everything coming from leftist beside propagandhi are way more crappy than akitsa and any left wing people or movement is even more crappier than crap itself so…shut up go kill yourself .
by the way akitsa is not nsbm and there was no electric guitar in nazi germany as there are no nazi since 1945 and just to be sure you understand : any left wing people or movement is even more crappier than crap itself so…shut up go kill yourself
Akitsa will go on a Quebec tour with France’s Peste Noire on August 2008.
Fuck you all leftists with your stupid propaganda!! Akitsa is not NSBM obviously but still they are not a fucking politically-correct band.
And btw, Stalin, Mao , Castro and all your idols are far more “Fascist” than anybody else in this planet. Fuck off!
Akitsa’s black fury has no wings, neither right or left…So just bow down and die, you scum.
Rock Against Fascism said: “why don’t we let this crap die in the gutters where it belongs and promote a way better Canadian BM band, like Iskra.”
The answer to your question is as simple as that: Iskra aren’t good and aren’t Black Metal while Akitsa are great and are one of the best horde in America!
you people are so stupid! iskra is not a “leftist” band you fools! they are anarchists, i.e. against political systems. they also happen to be one of the better bands from Canada now or any time, especially in the brutal metal catagory. so you go die! They sing about the true evil, not some make believe shit like the crap you listen to.
I wish Iskra were on Suffering Jesus.
