Perdition is the second studio demo of the band Perditor, and provides what was promised on the rehearsal promo cassette Death Torture: extreme black metal. The sound of Perdition is good but raw, and the overall demo reminds me of a band like Conqueror from Canada, and it shows that this small country's black metal scene will not die, now that death metal has (finally) taken away hordes of trend followers. The pressure is now off and real black metal can rear its ugly head again - and this is one band, I think, musically qualified to keep the flames of the underground burning.

REVIEWED BLACK ART MAGAZINE #5 2002.

Ordealis Records from France finally released the long awaited debut of Perditor - which has switched drummers since recording the 5-track mcd: Arvath (of Black Art Magazine and Israthoum) joined in after the recordings of this album. Those who have read earlier reviews of Perditor from my hand, either on this site or in a Black Art Magazine will know what I am about to say. The compositions, production, the artwork, and the feeling of this album are great and traditional black metal; although there are definitely hints of Sadistik Exekution and Slayer in here as well as demented screams (alongside the 'safe' traces of Marduk and Dark Funeral). The only pity is that 3 out of 5 songs were already featured on the band’s demo’s - I’d say pay a bit more attention to writing new stuff - but that's really just a minor point. It remains an excellent release from the Dutch underground, and a promising preview of a full-length still to come.
