Released by the prominent underground music promoter Black Metal Promotion on YouTube in its entirety, the album blew up instantly not due to the music, the artiste behind it or their politics, or even the subgenre. It was the album’s cover art that shot it to infamy.
Cruel World of Dreams and Fears itself is a relatively bog standard album within the subgenre, liberally taking from different generations of black metal, without actually etching an identity of its own through the music. The 10-track album bears gratuitous similarities to other projects such as the older Satanic Warmaster and newer ones such as Kristailer, Kekht Arakh, Lamp of Murmuur and even Gudsforladt.
“Forgive me Lord for all my sins / Forgive me Father, cause I’m weak / I had no time to figure out / That all I need is love” – Draugveil sings in one of the weirdest recurring passages in the album’s opener Knight Without a Name.
Shroedinger’s black metal
After the cover art summoned the hate-filled eyes of black metal fans, their ears soon followed the galloping riffs of the album. With the weight of armoured hell beasts, fans of the subgenre poured heavy scrutiny on the Czech Republic artiste’s album.
The lyrics for the songs on the album also share similar genetics to the slop AI is known to vomit out, particularly the grammar and how often the em dash symbol is used.
Though AI-generated slop has not flooded the metal scene, it is prevalent in more niche subgenres such as dungeon synth, which was born from black metal. It is hard to say whether the cover or music for Draugveil’s debut is AI, but it does not change the fact that the album is, in modern slang, very “mid”.
