Wow.  Honestly, Filipino Antichrist is not so simply put, one of the most insanely destructive sounding explosions of blasphemy and filth I’ve ever heard.  It’s utterly and completely depraved sounding.  The music is roughly black war metal in concept, but it makes even the most hardened bands of bullet-belted Satanists sound like  pussified versions of Sonata Arctica and Rhapsody.  Sub-nonexistent production values are taken a step even further towards Hell itself creating the effect of the band having recorded the album 40 yards away from a single microphone, and not one of those fancy microphones either mind you.  Vocalist Voltaire 666 sounds positively possessed; spewing hatred and vile proclamations of unholy perversion while the guitar hammers out heinous and nearly indecipherable riffs over what almost seems like a continuous snare drum roll.  Words really fail to accurately describe the all together uncompromising sonic chaos this band creates.  Generally speaking, this should all make for a terrible album, and to be honest, 8 out of 10 people who hear it are immediately going to want to stab themselves in the brain, but for some reason Filipino Antichrist is both compelling and endearing in its abject nihilism.  It is a bit unfortunate that the best song on the album (“Hate”) is a cover (Sarcófago), but Deiphago tear the shit out of it, and when Voltaire screams “I HATE HATE HATE HATE” you fucking believe him.
