Swedish Black Metal born of dark feelings, bleak atmosphere and doomed empires.
Only two tracks but each song whirls by with gusto and venom. Slithering melodies slide over blasting drums while raging vocals spit hate at an unsuspecting victim. It’s more than just bile and bluster though; there is a depth to these passages and the dark melodies contained within.
The guitars are the prominent feature of this EP – they slither and slide, and sound almost alive with sinuous evil. It sounds like a lot of work has gone into the composition of these two hymns and it’s paid off handsomely.
Herein lies 13 minutes of black magic and transcendence; moments lost in the bat of an eyelid or an eternity of enlightenment? Much promise is contained in this small release.
With the darkness ascending where will you turn?
