"Fans of sweetness and lyrical poetry, look elsewhere—KOMMANDANT offers none of that. What you’ll find in 'The Draconian Archetype,' the second album from these Americans with their sweet smiles (hidden behind gas masks), is pure brutal black metal executed to perfection. Toxic and unsettling, the quintet's music (composed of former members of NACHTMYSTIUM, KRIEG, FUNEREAL, ENFORSAKEN, and RELIK) is resolutely modern, featuring electronic touches that only enhance its cold and inhuman nature. Warrior-like, mechanical, and relentless, yet firmly rooted in pure and hard black metal, KOMMANDANT delivers a powerful blow that will satisfy fans of NEHËMAH, MAYHEM, MARDUK, DODHEIMSGARD, and ABORYM. BUY OR DIE!"
