Blakk Old Blood (Switzerland): “Greed”

Today I will tell you about Blakk Old Blood, a Swiss black metal band active in Zurich since 2012. Although Switzerland has a traditionally very important metal scene since the 1980s, not all bands from that country have a good success. Blakk Old Blood are an example. In seven years, this band has failed to churn out a major release, ie a full length: only EP’s, demos, and splits. In my opinion, Blakk Old Blood are also an example of what a band should not do. Listen to the EP Greed: lack of originality, stereotyped riffs, atmospheres taken from Burzum’s early albums, repetitions upon repetitions make Greed uninteresting. More is required to impress an expert audience.
