Negura Bunget - _Sala Molksa_
(Bestial, 1998)
by: Brian Meloon (7 out of 10)

Negura Bunget are a black metal band from Romania. Their style is fairly standard: raw, abrasive and straightforward black metal, with slight keyboard touches. The songs are often repetitive, and the tempos are slow to mid-paced, and tend to remain at a consistent tempo for long stretches. This gives the music a droning, trance-like quality. The performances are competent, with good drumming and guitar work. The music is primarily guitar-driven, with a few keyboards in the background adding atmosphere. The keys are simple, often just slow accompanying chords, but they fit well with the music. At times, the keys move into the foreground, but never really dominate the music. The vocals are the typical black metal screamed/rasped style. The production isn't terribly clear, but it is adequate for the music; a more powerful or clearer production wouldn't have made it any better. Overall, these guys are quite good, but they aren't really doing much to differentiate them from the throngs of other black metal bands around these days.
