Reviews CELEBRATUM - INSTINCT - METAL AGE 
Celebratum’s album number two is a pure black metal album full of aggression that nonetheless never forgets to inject some melody and harmony within its bytes. While the band’s music is good given its authentic feeling, cruelty and grim style and the sound and distortion of the guitar, it is the vocals that take the putrid cake given the tormented nature of the shrieks and growls. Much like Aeternus’ music, Instinct ebbs and flows as heard on the extra melodic Sweet Wine, harmonic Riders Of Storm and the abrasive Act Of Insanity.
