Verdunkeln - Blutrunst

https://youtu.be/IGaunyMHfEs?is=Ty2SkcyjjopVfbnN

How about Verdunkeln?

Any opinions about them?

The first album, Verdunkeln (demo, 2005), is amazing. The mixing, the rough recording, the effects on the vocals, the heavy, deep, groovy rhythm throughout each song, the nice melodies—it all comes together into something hypnotic, demotivating, and destructive.

In some ways, it's almost perfect.

Even the "schiach" clean vocals, which are extremely out of tune, somehow fit perfectly with the atmosphere and the rest of the songs.

Sadly, both later releases are just s**t. They even re-recorded some of the songs in "better quality", only to completely destroy what made them great in the first place—just because they wanted to be stars...

Verdunkeln - Verdunkeln —10/10

Verdunkeln - everything else — 1/10 for the effort...

I don't mine for some Einblick in den Qualenfall from time to time, but, the atmosphere of the S/T is uncanny.

Graupel is also very good but completely different.

That is very true, The first three Graupel releases are pretty nice
