Review:

This was my first encounter with the legendary In Slaughter Natives but as far as I can see, it was also the beginning of a long and healthy musical relationship. The music on Recollection is an absolutely supreme brand of industrial music of the grimly inventive sort. This is the kind of music that fills the air with unsurpassed power and wickedness and pieces like Angel Meat, Purgate my Skin and Media are excellent examples of the magic of J.Havukainen, the man behind this project. The music that mr Havukainen presents on this CD is of a quite slow and heavy sort. The tracks don't follow any ordinary musical patterns but still the music of In Slaughter Natives isn't as chaotic as other CMI related acts like Brighter Death Now or Institut for example. The music is very apocalyptic though and visualizing to this music will surely bring you far far away from Disneyland. On the 7th track Pure... the suffering, we find one of the better gregorian monk chantings I've heard in front of a desolate doomsday ambience. On the track Sacrosanct's Bleed, it sounds like we have recieved V.I.P seats to the slaughter of a multitude of meak creatures while the choirs of harmageddon chant a wicked gospel of horrors yet to come. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! To quote the CMI stab "...The soundtrack to the apocalypse, the mad laughter of the heretic burned at the stake". One of the best CMI albums I've bought so far.
