Also central to the Akercocke ethos is the homage paid to The Blast, the primordial meeting of musical, personal and philosophical paths in harmony at any given moment within a song. It is Akercocke's distinct and completely authentic presentation that has led to the deal with Earache. www.vampire-magazine.com /news.asp?id=1097   (399 words)

Sites that go unspoken... So, AKERCOCKE tore themselves away from their isolation in late ’97 (I think) when the Filth played at the LA2 and we wandered backstage to meet these fellows. We decided rather early on that although we were playing metal music, we shouldn’t pretend to be some sort of metal purists and adopt jeans and t-shirts just to perform, as that would be acting. AKERCOCKE only appeared live for a few performances in the next six months, as we concentrated on making the best record that we could, and Martin and Jason set about the painstaking mixing process. www.akercocke.com /Ak_Biography.htm   (2901 words)

MSJ - Akercocke-Choronzon Yet despite the diversity here, there is absolutely no doubt that Akercocke is one of the most extreme bands on the planet. But, as is typical for Akercocke, you get a little bit of everything, including death metal with grunting vocals. Akercocke show zero mercy to the listener here, as this is more skull-splitting, super morbid metal combining the best aspects of death and fl. www.musicstreetjournal.com /ackercoke.htm   (1148 words)

Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Akercocke - Choronzon Akercocke is an unusual band, to say the least. Akercocke have renewed my faith in the fact that there are bands out there that want to push the envelope of the extreme.

Akercocke - 'Choronzon' review @ into-obscurity.com[enter the underground] My impressions coming into my first Akercocke experience were that this band was a Nile-influenced death metal band with a Satanic stance who wore tuxedos. But to call their music a copy of Nile, who in my opinion are everything cliche about death metal, would be like calling Nsync a necro fl metal group. Akercocke play challenging extreme metal that has no regard for the unspoken boundaries placed on underground music. www.into-obscurity.com /reviews/reviews.asp?reviewID=1155   (258 words)

DigitalMetal.com   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Like, say, Gehenna, Akercocke’s newest work for Peaceville is disturbingly real, where succinct musicianship and unique songwriting concepts converge with stylized satanic lyrics and artwork. In many ways, Akercocke’s music resembles Nile’s Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka - the riff structure, multi-headed vocal (screams, roars, bellows) assault and Stygian melodic underpinnings are evoked in similar fashion of their American counterparts. Akercocke just might sound like a bastard child of Nile, Gehenna and early Cradle Of Filth, but these British perverts are tight-lipped to reveal the specifics of their origin. www.digitalmetal.com /reviews.asp?cid=4001   (563 words)

CoC : Akercocke - Rape of the Bastard Nazarene : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Akercocke, at the core, are violent and ripping death metal which draws fl metal comparisons via the kinds of atmospheres the riffs create and the passing similarities one can detect to Cradle of Filth's _The Principle of Evil Made Flesh_ (which, though primarily regarded as a fl metal record, is certainly strongly death metal influenced). Furthermore, Akercocke do not merely blast it out with the best, they also incorporate searing noise/industrial elements into songs and interludes and thus succeed in adding a fresh dimension to their extreme metal base. Akercocke have produced a dark, distinctive and somewhat original record; they have been let down slightly by production as many unsigned bands are, but their talent and potential shine through and make _RotBN_ the best release from an unsigned band I have heard this year. www.chroniclesofchaos.com /Articles.aspx?id=2-1372   (329 words)

MetalReview.com - Review of Akercocke - Antichrist Akercocke is the sophisticated, deadly incarnation of this swanlike anime fighting style, and with Antichrist, they continue their blasphemously refined metallic tradition in usual cultivated fashion. Perhaps not their finest release yet, as some of it is sublime and other parts are pedestrian, however there’s nothing to scoff at or ignore if you already love this band despite the lack of surprise factor in this instance. It’s simply a new Akercocke album, and even though this exceptional group may not have set new standards of quality for themselves, this is still a criminally overlooked endeavor that slays a great portion of canned fl and death metal out there today. metalreview.com /3837/Akercocke-Antichrist.aspx   (749 words)

Transcending the Mundane: Review of 'The Goat of Mendes' by Akercocke   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Akercocke are serious as a heart attack, and yet also allow quite a bit of humor to prevade throughout, reminding me of another band quite serious yet sardonically humourous: Darkthrone. As I said this band is not afraid to take risks, yet their twisting wall of sound I think will appeal to many different kinds of metal fans. Akercocke actually bring forward the genres that they are compared to, and make solid extremly interesting music. basementbar.com /CurrSelN1.asp?Page=archive&ID=129   (536 words)

Akercocke - Choronzon - Review @ MetalHordes.com A few years ago, when Goat of Mendes came out, this was a band that totally appealed to me. I thought that they reached new levels of darkness and discordance. Yet when it comes to the music, it is clear that Akercocke have done a very good job, contrived or not. Akercocke are good at what they are doing, but in the music i feel a certain hatred type or freedom that doesn't belong there. www.metalhordes.com /reviews.php?op=show&id=281   (859 words)

Global Domination | Reviews | Akercocke: Antichrist Ok, but Akercocke is not about boobs and tits, goats and semen. Akercocke reached the level of composing when they can play with musical motives and link them freely but still a listener can see a deeper sense behind this game. I recommend you the opening track “Summon The Antichrist”; for it’s classical Akercocke heaviness and riff; “My Apterous Angel” for unprecedented song structure, radical classical with no classic music elements; “The Dark Inside” for it’s death n’ roll drive and a closure called “Epode” beautiful love song dedicated to… Satan. www.globaldomination.se /reviews/akercocke-antichrist   (530 words)

Encyclopaedia Metallum - Akercocke Akercocke participated in the "Celtic Frost Tribute - Order of the Tyrants", released by Black Lotus Records in 2003, covering the song "Mesmerized". Something people may find awkward about Akercocke being a "fl/death act" is that they perform wearing suits/formal clothing. The alleged reason is that they believe their music should sound great and their looks should match it as well as debunking the common stereotype about Satanic music and its musicians. www.metal-archives.com /band.php?id=2707   (186 words)

'Cause one of things I like about Akercocke, personally, is that it doesn't just come across as part of a scene or a band that has done this or that: it has got quite an individual character and that makes it more enjoyable, I think. My opinion as I write this is that a band of their size with an esoteric name such as their name would likely not be noticed. www.chroniclesofchaos.com /Articles.aspx?id=1-360   (3418 words)
