Review by Sonny for Bethlehem - Lebe Dich leer (2019)

I'm not a huge fan of DSBM, Bethlehem however, are one of the founders of the sub-genre, and are one of the better exponents of this style of black metal. The central riff to Dämonisch im ersten Blitz is particularly cool, reminding me of the kind of riff The Stooges may have used around the time of Raw Power! The album as a whole is less overbearingly self-obsessed as most DSBM and even manages to be pretty evil-sounding at times.
