England has such acquaintance with black metal as with basketball! Only after a high bribery you could include an English black metal band among the best ones around the glob. These few words are mentioned so that blacksters can get some historical awareness of their favorite musical genre, as neither Cradle of Filth nor Anaal Nathrakh are the bands with the highest artistic level to show.

Primitive Graven Image consist of two English brothers, if I don't make a mistake, and I suppose that, if they were asked, they would answer that they have a necro/raw black metal band and that they are great devotees of Darkthrone. I am not sure about the truth of these two hypothetical statements, yet the whole album lacks remarkable riffs except for some nice minimal choirs in the first track, which brought to my mind Burzum. Moreover, the band uses lots of heavy/thrash elements, but unfortunately the result is nowhere really interesting. I suggest unreservedly that you should look for the Swedish band called IXXI and forget these guys. Not even aurea mediocritas!
