Review
Much will be made of the irregular instruments or effects, but at its core Polis Rouge is a killer guitar driven metal album. AS and HV with session members Peter and Tomas are all very competent players, handling traditionally Black Metal riffs and bluesy solos with equal skill. Polis Rouge is marked by its diversity, from the obvious to subtle changes in tempo, playing styles, drum rhythms. As mentioned previously the members of Remmirath are all very competent and the production is a strong studio release. This is not a Black Metal release, it retains many musical hallmarks but lyrically it can be classified alongside Amesoeurs - generally negative reflections on our modern culture. On the strength of this album Remmirath deserve just as much attention as other experimentally-'black' metal bands like Lifelover. They may not have the mystique but the quality of their material is certainly strong enough. - Todestrieb 5/5
