... And Jesus wept once again, as the black seed has been sowed and utter hatred has been spread everywhere. Evil lurks among weak Christian people that will be eliminated from the face of the earth, one by one.

The Republic of Belarus brings us Mora Prokaza, a three-piece Black Metal act that has arrived among us with their black and anti-Christian flags flying high against the storming, lightning-filled sky. Mora Prokaza were formed in the summer of 2013 by guitarist and singer Farmakon and drummer Isvind. Since then, the band has released two full-length studio albums and one EP. Dark Universe is filled with all kinds of Black Metal aesthetics, both philosophically and musically. The mostly mid-paced anthems are all carefully crafted, offering a good sackful of original and unorthodox ingredients that make me tempted to call them Black Metal's Voivod. The more you listen to this album, the more you can understand the level of ingenuity of the band's songwriting skills. The band poured a great amount of their musical creativity into this opus, which cannot be left ignored among the Black Metal community.

Dark Universe may not be a game changer for Mora Prokaza, but nobody can deny the fact that they have recorded a decent Black Metal album.
