US group Teloch Vovin play Black Metal with a mystical, esoteric feel and full of black magic.
Here we have 8 arcane hymns to who-knows-what, starting with the impenetrably titled 12/21/2012–1+2+2+1+2+0+1+2=11 (Including A Hymn to Apophis) which is as much 70’s Prog/Psychedelia as it is Black Metal.
The sound is atrocious, really bad, although presumably this was the intent. It sounds like it was recorded in a bucket in the early nineties.
Once you look past the dire sound you have some interesting Black Metal full of occult themes and references, sung with passion and played with intent.
The poor mixing and bad quality sound will put almost everyone off though, even those who are quite comfortable with a lo-fi Black Metal release will likely quail at this.
Good if you can take it.
