Baphovomit - Defecating Upon the Holy Trinity (2009)

Baphovomit was a short lived black metal from Pohjanmaa, Finland, which I otherwise probably wouldn't have ever come across, but since a good friend of mine played guitar in the band and gave me this demo last month when I was over there I now know them and figured it be best to write a few words on this tape as well.

On 'Defecating Upon the Holy Trinity' these four Finns pound out nine minutes of ugly ancient sounding black/death metal in a style comparable to Beherit, Blasphemy, Profanatica and Black Witchery. The production is deliberately raw as fuck - totally rehearsal in style, the vocals are guttural and vicious and other than a few brief moments on, 'Lust & Blood' the band is mostly blasting away as fast as possible. There's also a cover of Beherit's, 'Gate of Nanna,' which is mostly spot on to the original, but just as wicked and evil as the version everyone knows.

The tape consists of just four songs, which is a fine, but I wish I could hear more since this band had a fairly good thing going on. Nothing original by any means, but certainly enjoyable for those that get into archaic blasphemous goat warshipping hymns like these. The tape was limited to just 200 copies, but may still be available. Check out Spread Evil Distribution if you are interested.
