That band is called Rotting Christ. The album cover is a goat with a pentagram and then a depiction of 3 crucified figures. What could possibly be the subject matter of this?

Yup it's "cold beet", "small town", "dirt road" black metal again. This time the relentless blast beats have melody... sort of... I mean I guess. This type of thing really does only make sense to me through the lense of a pre-teen edgelord. If I think about being that age and wanting to piss off authority figures then I somewhat see the appeal of this, but all of that appeal is in the album art. Lyrically it appeals to the lowest common denominator (demonator?) of black metal fandom, and sonically it's half baked. Put it on your wall if you must, but keep it away from your turn table.
