SPITE is a one-man Black Metal juggernaut led by the enigmatic Salpsan—the self-proclaimed spawn of Satan himself. Crawling out from the depths of Brooklyn, NYC, this project spits in the face of religious dogma with an unflinching anti-Abrahamic, anti-Judeo-Christian fury.
This debut full-length is a relentless onslaught—no filler, no mercy, just pure, insane aggression. While other bands might lean on droning atmospheres or mind-numbing repetition, Salpsan obliterates that approach. He dismantles the sacred with razor-sharp precision, hurling dynamic, Riffs that blasphemously twist jewish melodies into sarcastically hard-hitting assaults. His vocals are a manic, blasphemous tirade—possessed, feral, and utterly compelling. Just when you think you’ve caught your breath, he shifts gears, keeping you on the edge. The songwriting is intricate, brimming with meticulous detail and a playful brutality that ensures there’s never a dull moment. This isn’t some gimmicky, tongue-in-cheek act—this is raw, searing black metal at its finest.
The musicianship is top-tier, and Salpsan handles every damn instrument himself. From the dynamic, punishing drumming to the razor-sharp guitar work, and bass lines that don’t just follow along but carve out their own sinister paths. His vocals stand among the most impassioned in the genre—proving that harsh vocals can be dramatic and versatile. The production is clear yet gritty, allowing every twisted detail to slice through the mix.
