I try to keep my ears planted to the ground when it comes to anything released by I, Voidhanger Records if not for how consistent they are with really good releases for the consistency in pushing the barriers of metal and chewing up new soils in sound and forward-thinking song structure. God's Bastard is such a release. Comprised of two members, one of which is prolific in the sonic arena, being a member of Krallice, Coral Cross (very good), Woe, Anicon and a handful of other bands whose sound have never entered it into my atmosphere.

Say what you will about anyone who tinkers with puritan black metal, when experimentation falls into the right hands it can be a breath of fresh air in a stale environment of a genre that sometimes takes itself too seriously… and let's call a spade a spade here, sometimes purist black metal is also bad. ThisGod's Bastard is charged and found guilty of tinkering, but at least there are a lot of good things happening here on Last Village Standing and I"m going to keep listening to it on the merits that Coral Cross is really good and Krallice and Woe have done a lot of good things as well.
