Noise Jihad Haraam - Purification By Fire IV

Review by LaDon Love James

Noise Jihad Haraam's fourth album, Purification By Fire IV, is a sonic journey that takes the listener on a dark and intense ride. The album is a cacophony of harsh noise, distorted vocals, and industrial soundscapes that create a sense of unease and tension throughout.

The opening track, "Blackened Sun," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its heavy use of distortion and abrasive textures. The following tracks, "Purification By Fire" and "The Cleansing," continue the theme of purification and destruction, with the latter featuring haunting vocals that add an eerie layer to the already intense soundscape.

As the album progresses, tracks like "The Burning Altar" and "Ritual Sacrifice" showcase the band's ability to create a sense of ritualistic atmosphere through their use of percussion and samples. The final track, "The End Is Nigh," brings the album to a fittingly apocalyptic conclusion with its distorted synths and ominous basslines.

Summary by LaDon Love James

Purification By Fire IV is a challenging yet rewarding listen for fans of experimental and industrial music. Noise Jihad Haraam has crafted an album that is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to delve into its dark depths, it offers a unique and unforgettable experience.
