Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/teitanblood-from-the-visceral-abyss-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Teitanblood – From the Visceral Abyss Review</a></p><p><i>By Alekhines Gun</i></p><p><strong>Teitanblood </strong>is more kvlt than you. I mean, how many other bands can say their logo was sported on artwork for a <strong>Darkthrone</strong> album? Since slithering out of nothingness in 2003, one full-length after another have solidified their reputation as one of the prominent peddlers of darkness. Are they bestial death metal? Deathened black metal? Melodic war metal? They don’t care, and don’t care what you call them; they are only here to remind you that in the end, only death is real. With an average release gap of five years, they have arrived after an unprecedented six from previous album <em>The Baneful Choir, </em>with nary a split or demo between releases. Such time tenderizing their newest aural offering has not gone to waste, as this album is from abyssal depths indeed.</p><p><em>From the Visceral Abyss</em> offers up a production for which “claustrophobic” doesn’t begin to do it justice. An eldritch paradox of sound, the entirety of the album exists to savage you with razor-sharp riffs which seem to crawl from the ectosplasmic ocean of density and aural obfuscation. The vocals of NSK emerge with reverb-soaked into their pores, transcending “merely” cavernous echoes into wretchedly human tones that fill the air around the listener with menace. The ever-violent drumming of J brings the customary sixteenth-note-styled battering, but also finds pockets to fill during the more ambient, threatening moments of relative calm. “Sepulchral Carrion God” shows this stylistic blending in all its horror, ranging from militant bass drum lashings to creative, engaging cymbal-based beats and on-a-dime time signature shifts. The DR, while not exactly awe-inspiring, allows for the clarity of each instrument to complement and go to war with each other simultaneously, rendering the music a seething, perpetually scathing cauldron of sound.</p><p></p><p><strong>Teitanblood</strong> have stated that their approach to songcraft is to “seek the point where death and black metal are not differenced.” Churning, all-out blasting assaults ebb and flow into crushing riffs and back with indecipherable, mercurial transitions. Guitar leads shift between borderline atonal fret-tapping freneticism (“From the Visceral Abuse”) to almost melodic, weeping melodies (“Strangling Visions”), with passages always ready to collapse into the next hazy attack. Some blasts focus on snare abuse, some in double time fills; still others find drums pairing back for guitarist Javi Bastard to violate the listener with weeping whammy bar abuse before sliding into more devastating runs. What would be a bland, uniform tone of violence in the hands of a lesser band is transformed into its own diverse, engaging creature where speed never gives way to homogenization, and repetition is never confused for power.</p><p></p><p>Still, even the ethereal realm is subjected to the might of the riff, and <em>From the Visceral Abyss</em> is no exception. The handful of slower moments allows for some rare tidings of moshable might with groove to rock the shadows themselves. “And Darkness was All” is the most <em>Death</em>-centric song, with a main riff worthy of crushing skulls bookending the blast furnace raging to be found within. Slow half-time chugging comes as a welcome reprieve and lets J show off his rhythmic skills. Additionally, the entirety of the album is meant to be heard as one continuous flow, with atmospherics, ambience, and sounds reminiscent of <strong>Spektrs</strong> <em>Near Death Experience </em>linking one song to the next before ending on a damned choir of an orchestral note. This is not an album for listener comfort, channeling borderline war-metal straightforwardness into atmospheres that exist to give you plenty of time to breathe, but absolutely never to rest.</p><p><strong>Teitanblood</strong> are the sound of the void staring back into you. A two-tone palette of hazy blasts into a menacing groove should be inherently limited by nature, and yet the abyss continues. Each release explores new pockets of pitch black in the most abandoned of unholy caverns, and <em>From the Visceral Abyss</em> is no exception. This is not an album to consume or enjoy, but to be swallowed up by and surrender to. A singular body of work with riffs for days and horrors for decades, no minute is wasted and no tone gives in to the light. Such a deeply committed portrayal of writhing darkness will be too much for some ears, but those who have drank from the seven chalices will find themselves gleefully at home in this abyss among the baneful choir, with only death for company.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 4.0/5/0<br><strong>DR: </strong>6 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 256 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label: </strong><a href="https://www.noevdia.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Norma Evangelium Diaboli</a><strong><br>Website: </strong><a href="https://teitanblood.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-visceral-abyss" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Album Bandcamp</a><strong><br>Releases Worldwide:</strong> March 28, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/40/" target="_blank">#40</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/black-metal/" target="_blank">#BlackMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/darkthrone/" target="_blank">#Darkthrone</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/from-the-visceral-abyss/" target="_blank">#FromTheVisceralAbyss</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mar25/" target="_blank">#Mar25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/norma-evangelium-diaboli/" target="_blank">#NormaEvangeliumDiaboli</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/spanish-metal/" target="_blank">#SpanishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/spektr/" target="_blank">#Spektr</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/teitanblood/" target="_blank">#Teitanblood</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/kilmara-journey-to-the-sun-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kilmara – Journey to the Sun Review</a></p><p><i>By Killjoy</i></p><p>The 1980s was a decade that is often portrayed with a thick rose-tinted sheen in today’s media. Whether it was a better time during which to live or this idea was born from simple nostalgia I’ll leave to the reader’s discretion. The fact remains that tons of music artists–both inside and outside of the metal sphere–wear their 80s influence as prominently as Indiana Jones wears his signature fedora. Spanish melodic power metal band <strong>Kilmara</strong> is intent to join their ranks with <em>Journey to the Sun</em>, whose overarching theme centers around video game arcades at the height of popularity. Can they effectively combine the classic with the contemporary or is this a feeble remake? The only way to find out is to insert a few coins and press start.</p><p><strong>Kilmara</strong> leveled up considerably after selecting yes at their last continue screen. While 2018’s <em>Across the Realm of Time</em> sanded off the unsightly edges of their early heavy/power metal to achieve a cleaner, more polished sound, it ultimately suffered from lackluster songwriting. On the title track of <em>Journey to the Sun</em>, Daniel Ponce sings, “Choose wisely who’s by your side.” <strong>Kilmara</strong> have taken their own advice to heart, bringing on guitarist/songwriter Carles Salse and drummer Eric Killer to power up the group. Their influence is palpable; this time around the vocals and guitars work in lockstep to sling sticky hooks and choruses, some of which became lodged in my brain after only a few listens. “Alliance of the Free” is my personal favorite, sprinkled with spirited guitar leads and an infectious chorus that elicits triumphant feelings.</p><p><em>Journey to the Sun</em> derives much of its success from transmuting the simple and upbeat melodies common in retro video games to a modern power metal form. In this sense, <strong>Kilmara</strong>’s game plan is not dissimilar to that of <strong>Beast in Black</strong>’s science fiction aesthetic run through an 80s filter, the major difference being that <strong>Kilmara</strong> is very much guitar-centric in the same way as <strong>Fellowship</strong> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75_VrG18byo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Evershine</strong></a>. There are several guitar leads in particular (“An Even Whole,” “Alliance of the Free,” “Wildfire”) that I can envision looping in the background of an arcade game stage. Synths are present, of course, but used with tasteful restraint. Another example of moderation is Ponce’s vocal delivery. While I wouldn’t call him a powerhouse, he wisely stays within his range in registers lower than one might commonly associate with power metal while still bringing plenty of character and charisma. His voice has a nasally yet gritty pop-punk texture which may not appeal to everyone, but it can ably carry a chorus in a manner that gives the record a definite poppy quality.</p><p></p><p>The tradeoff of being constrained to relatively simple melodies is that this <em>Journey to the Sun</em> thrusts or stalls according to the level of catchiness from song to song. From this standpoint, the album is front loaded with the strongest material, but everything after “Chances”–a bizarrely decent mashup of a power ballad and good, old-fashioned heavy metal–slowly atrophies in sticking power as the album progresses. To be clear, nothing in the back half is bad or even bland but the hooks aren’t as barbed, particularly in the choruses of “An Even Whole” and “Take Me Back.” The latter features singer Daniel Heiman (<strong>Lost Horizon</strong>, <strong>Sacred Outcry</strong>) in the Player 2 slot but probably shouldn’t have been a duet, as Heiman is obliged to uncharacteristically stick to lower pitches to not leave his partner behind. These are, perhaps, nitpicks, but with such a narrow win condition, <strong>Kilmara</strong> can’t afford much of a drop in their damage per second.</p><p><strong>Kilmara</strong> shot for the <em>Sun</em> and, while they didn’t entirely stick the landing, I still consider the <em>Journey</em> a success. It’s undeniably derivative and straightforward (like much retro-themed music) but also endearingly earnest. <em>Journey to the Sun</em> is a pleasant, comfortable listen that should appeal to those who like their power metal with an extra helping of melody. Next time, I’d like to see <strong>Kilmara</strong> apply their songwriting talents to a less cliché concept than 80s nostalgia but, in any case, I look forward to their attempt to beat their personal high score.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 3.5/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 4 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://reigningphoenixmusic.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reigning Phoenix Music</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="https://roar-kilmara.bandcamp.com/album/across-the-realm-of-time" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">roar-kilmara.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kilmaraofficial/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/kilmaraofficial</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> January 31st, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/beast-in-black/" target="_blank">#BeastInBlack</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/evershine/" target="_blank">#Evershine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/fellowship/" target="_blank">#Fellowship</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/heavy-metal/" target="_blank">#HeavyMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jan25/" target="_blank">#Jan25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/journey-to-the-sun/" target="_blank">#JourneyToTheSun</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/kilmara/" target="_blank">#Kilmara</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/lost-horizon/" target="_blank">#LostHorizon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/power-metal/" target="_blank">#PowerMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reigning-phoenix-music/" target="_blank">#ReigningPhoenixMusic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sacred-outcry/" target="_blank">#SacredOutcry</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/spanish-metal/" target="_blank">#SpanishMetal</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/onirophagus-revelations-from-the-void-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Onirophagus – Revelations From the Void Review</a></p><p><i>By Alekhines Gun</i></p><p>2025 has gotten off to a picturesque start. It seems like half my country caught fire, and in the half I dwell in, I woke up to discover my car covered in a pile of icy slush for literally the first time in my life. Such dichotomous, if not ominous, happenings to kick off the review year have me reaching out for appropriate background music, and the fusion of death/doom has answered the call. Hailing from Spain, <strong>Onirophagus</strong> are one of a legion of bands who were gaining some traction before the Great Tour Cease of the early 20’s. Some lineup shuffling and dedicated writing later, they’ve returned with <em>Revelations From the Void</em>, sporting some fantastic artwork and a soundtrack to kick off the year in a depressive, destructive style.</p><p>Much like the multi-eyed creature adorning the cover, <em>Revelations From the Void</em> sounds layered, expansive, and intimidating. The drumming of Uretra sounds fantastic, laced with reverb that gives the crunching riffs an open, arena-rock vastness even as the guitars attempt to crush with extreme prejudice. Guitarists Moregod and Obzen drop weaving, interlacing leads over grooving blows and slow dirges that erupt into pit-combusting speeds (“Landsickness”) without ever sounding forced or awkward in transition. Most songs treat riffing as a one-and-done concept, evolving and unfolding as they progress. As a result, <strong>Onirophagus</strong> have mastered the art of seamlessly switching between requisite plods and sudden head-shattering blasts without awkward pauses or the crutch of amateurish feedback buildup, ensuring each song possesses strength of character and personality.</p><p></p><p><strong>Onirophagus</strong> aren’t content to merely weave apocalyptic signals of destruction in their sound. The doomier passages allow for very emotive, somber expressions. The spirit of <strong>Monolord</strong> (particularly their excellent <em>No Comfort</em>) is spread throughout the slower passages, giving moodier and far more human flourishes to what would otherwise be tar-drenched riffs. “Hollow Valley” masterfully weaves mournful melodies under harmonized leads, allowing for peaceful introspection before catching you with a baseball bat from behind to ruin (or improve) your well-being. The fiercer moments unsurprisingly chant the <strong>Incantation</strong><strong> </strong>but sound far more filled with blood and vinegar. Vocalist Paingrinder in particular does a fantastic John McEntee impression, spewing a stomach-gurgling growl and tortured shouts which sound like they crawled from the bottom of ye olde abandoned well.</p><p><em></em></p><p><em>Revelations From the Void </em>is at its best when it experiments. A few riffs are ridden far too long, particularly in “Black Brew”, which takes a nonsensical amount of time to build up to an unexpected and welcome violin abuse by way of <strong>Adaestuo</strong>. On the rare occasion <strong>Onirophagus</strong> do choose to repeat sections, not every obligatory chug-a-thon hits with the same impact, particularly in “Landsickness.” Sporadic flourishes with bells, background choirs, and even excellently placed spoken word pepper the album. Closing track and easy album best “Stargazing into the Void” pulls out all the stops with masterfully paced build, a double violin solo and a vaguely triumphant, uplifting ending, a glimmer of light in an eldritch-laced view of space. Falling into a few genre trappings of prolonged riffing and unequal impact do little to dent the mood presented to us through the album, and this concluding destination is worth the journey.</p><p>The year begins in uncertainty and disaster, and as always, metal is here to answer the call. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality found in <em>Revelations From the Void</em>, particularly for a sub-genre that isn’t generally predisposed to experimentation and evolution. An album of much less literary songs of ice and fire, the pairing of dark filth with excellent emotive expression have made for a thematic, artsy beginning to the adventures in store for 2025. Hopefully, <strong>Onirophagus</strong> continue to spread their artistic wings further and push the limits on what can be done in the death/doom wheelhouse. For now, lovers of the sound should dive in, and if the genre styling tends to leave you cold, give it a chance. You never know what <em>Revelations</em> are waiting for you at the end of the road.</p> <p><strong>Rating: </strong>3.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 7 | <strong>Format Reviewed: </strong>320 kbps mp3<br><span><strong>L</strong></span><strong><span>abel:</span> </strong><span><a href="https://www.personal-records.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Personal Records</a></span><strong><br>Websites:</strong><span> <a href="https://onirophagus.bandcamp.com/album/revelations-from-the-void-3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">onirophagus.bandcamp.com/album/revelations-from-the-void-3</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Onirophagus" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook.com/Onirophagus</a><br><strong><span>Releases Worldwide: </span></strong><span>January 17th, 2025</span><br></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/30/" target="_blank">#30</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/adaestuo/" target="_blank">#Adaestuo</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/doom-metal/" target="_blank">#DoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/incantation/" target="_blank">#Incantation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/monolord/" target="_blank">#Monolord</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/onirophagus/" target="_blank">#Onirophagus</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/personal-records/" target="_blank">#PersonalRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/revelations-from-the-void/" target="_blank">#RevelationsFromTheVoid</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/spanish-metal/" target="_blank">#SpanishMetal</a></p>

Equal parts vicious, introspective, and strangely uplifting, that record changed what I thought I could expect from anything bearing the screamo tag. By integrating ascendant black metal tremolos within post-punk structures and crusty attitude, <strong>Tenue</strong> established a sound that not only opened horizons for me taste-wise but also brought me a great deal of emotional catharsis on its own merit. Follow-up <em>Arcos, bóvedas, pórticos</em> deepens that relationship. Utilizing a wider atmospheric palette (“Distracción”), a shift towards epic song lengths (“Inquietude, and a greater variety of instrumentation (observe the beautiful horns on long-form opener “Inquietude”), and a bluesier swagger than previous material exhibited (“Letargo”), <strong>Tenue</strong>’s second salvo showcases a musical versatility I wasn’t expecting to complement the bleeding-heart emotional depth I knew would return. This expansion of scale and skillset sets the record apart from almost anything else I’ve heard this year. Even though one or two moments struggle to stick long-term (“Enfoque”), <em>Arcos, bóvedas, pórticos</em> represents an affecting, creative, and ridiculously engaging addition to my listening schedule.

Not I, and so it is with great pleasure that I introduce to my AMG fam Pennsylvania’s very own <strong>Open Flesh Wound</strong> and their debut LP <em>Vile Putrefaction</em>. Essentially the result of <strong>Analepsy</strong>’s and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/devourment-obscene-majesty-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Devourment</strong></a>‘s carnal lovemaking, <em>Vile Putrefaction</em> is a nasty, slammy, brutal expulsion of chunky upchuck. Only those with the most caved-in craniums will appreciate the scraping swamp-ass riffs showcased on such slammers as “Smashed in Liquids” and “Cinder Block to the Forehead,” or the groove-laden thuggery of death-focused tracks like the title track, “Fermented Intestinal Blockage” and “Body Baggie.” <em>Vile Putrefaction</em>’s molasses-like production is an absolute boon to this sound as well, with just enough gloss to provide a deliciously moist texture which imparts an unlikely clarity to especially gruesome details in “Stoma Necrosis” and “Skin Like Jelly.” It’s dumb as hell, and isn’t doing anything new, but is an overdose of good, dirty fun. Simple as.</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/theflayingmetal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Flaying</strong></a><strong> // <em>Ni dieu, ni ma​î​tre </em></strong>[September 5th, 2024 – Self Release]</strong></p><p>I’ve been singing Canadian melodic death metal quartet <strong>The Flaying</strong>’s praises for almost six years now. And still to this day not enough people choose to sing with me. Why? Because they wouldn’t know sickeningly fun death metal if it hacked their faces right off. That’s okay, because <strong>The Flaying</strong> do hack faces right off regardless, and it feels so good to watch the faces of those who don’t heed my call get hacked right off. Third onslaught <em>Ni dieu, ni ma​î​tre </em>proves that once again, <strong>The Flaying</strong> are an unstoppable force of bass wizardry, riff mastery, and hook-laden songwriting. Opener “Le nécrologiste” perfectly encapsulates <strong>The Flaying</strong>’s particularly addicting brew of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/cannibal-corpse-chaos-horrific-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Cannibal Corpse</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/the-black-dahlia-murder-servitude-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Black Dahlia Murder</strong></a>, and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/de-profundis-the-corruption-of-virtue/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>De Profundis</strong></a> influences, shaken and stirred until the resulting cocktail blooms with a flavor all its own. Technical and brutally fast, follow-up track “L’enclave” continues the deadly rampage, featuring noodly bass lines guaranteed to elicit stank face in the even most prim and proper elite. A trim twenty nine minutes, spread over ten tightly trained tracks, <em>Ni dieu, ni ma​î​tre</em> boasts unbeatable replay value. Highlights “Ni dieu, ni ma​î​tre<em>,”</em> “Les Frondes” “La forge,” and “Noyau sombre” seal the deal by providing sharp hard points and memorable landmarks to which any listener would look forward. Simply put, this record rocks my socks and further proves that I am right about <strong>The Flaying</strong>, and those who ignore my recommendation are wrong.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Dolphin Whisperer’s All-Seeing Affirmations</span></strong></p><p><strong><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/eyeeaterdeath" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eye Eater</a> // <a href="https://eyeeater.bandcamp.com/album/alienate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Alienate</em></a></b><strong> [August 1st, 2024 – Self Release]</strong></strong></p><p>In a post-<strong>Ulcerate</strong> world, the modern output of atmosphere-minded death metal has grown exponentially. With ringing dissonant chords and slow post-informed builds taking center stage, bands like New Zealand’s unheralded <strong>Eye Eater</strong> borrow plenty from the <em>Destroyers of All</em> sound. However, while many acts would be content to dial in the space or ramp up the dissonance to try and put their own twist on this growing post-death movement, <strong>Eye Eater</strong> looks to the laser-precise melodic tones of progressive, core-borrowing names like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/fallujah-empyrean-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Fallujah</strong></a> and <strong>Vildhjarta</strong> to carve an identity into each of <em>Alienate</em>’s album eight sprawling tracks. Swinging sustained brightness in one hand about the grizzly chug-crush of the other, burly bangers like “Other Planets” and “Failure Artifacts” find churning, djentrified grooves that amplify the swell of the blaring melodies that swirl above the low-end clamor. And though the main refrains of “Alienate” and “Everything You Fear and Hope For” sound like loving odes to their Kiwi Forebears, the growth into sonorous and lush-chorded peaks lands much closer to the attraction of turn of the 10s progressive death/metalcore luminaries <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/the-contortionist-intrinsic-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Contortionist</strong></a> had they stayed closer to their heavy-toned, hefty-voiced roots. As an anonymous act with little social presence, it’s hard to say whether <strong>Eye Eater</strong> has more cooking for the future. With their ears tuned to the recent past for inspiration, it’s easy to see how a band with this kind of melodic immediacy—still wrapped in the weight of a brooding, death metal identity—could easily play for the tops of underground charts. To those who have been following the twists and turns of both underground and accessible over the past decade or so, <strong>Eye Eater</strong> may not sound entirely novel. But <em>Alienate</em>’s familiarity in presence against its quality of execution and fullness of sound makes it easy to ensnare all the same.</p><p></p><p><strong><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/dissolvebandfr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dissolve</a> // <a href="https://dissolvefr.bandcamp.com/music" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Polymorphic Ways of Unconsciousness</em></a></b><strong> [September 20th, 2024 – Self Release]</strong></strong></p><p>From the sand-blasted, monochrome human escaping the floor of <em>Polymorphic Ways</em>’ cover to the tags of technical, progressive, death that adorn the Bandcamp tags, it’s easy to put a band like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DissolveFr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Dissolve</strong></a> in a box, mentally. But with the first bent guitar run that sets off “Efficiency Defiled” in a run like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/judas-priest-invincible-shield-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Judas Priest</strong></a> more than <strong>Spawn of Possession</strong>, it’s clear that <strong>Dissolve</strong> plays by a different set of rules than your average chug and run tech death band. Yet true to their French nature, the riffs that litter <em>Polymorphic Ways of Unconsciousness</em> possess a tangible groove following the footsteps of lesser-known tricksters <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/trepalium-h-n-p-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Trepalium</strong></a> and Olympic titans of metal <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/gojira-fortitude-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Gojira</strong></a> (“The Great Pessimistic,”<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-august-and-september-2024/#fn-205552-1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1</a> “Polymorphic Ways of Unconsciousness,” “Vultures”). And while too <strong>Dissolve</strong> finds a base in the low-end trem assault of <strong>Morbid Angel</strong> (“Ignorance Will Prevail”), there’s a thrash and bark energy at play that nets a rambunctious and experimental sound recalling the warped Hetfield-ian (<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/72-seasons-in-the-amg-rodeo-abyss-taking-the-new-metallica-opus-for-a-ride/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Metallica</strong></a>) scrawl of <em>Destroy Erase Improve </em><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/meshuggah-immutable-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Meshuggah</strong></a>, right down to the monstrous bass tone that defines Sonny Bellonie’s (<strong>Sanctuary</strong>, <strong>ODC</strong>) growling, extended range performance. As a trio it’d be easy for guitarist Briac Turquety (<a href="https://smerter.bandcamp.com/album/smerter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Smerter</strong></a>, ex-<a href="https://sideburn.bandcamp.com/album/crows-court" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sideburn</strong></a>) to rely on overdubs for saturation of sound and complexity of layers—and for solo cut-ins he definitely does—but equally as often his choice to let certain chords and notes escape a thrashy muting to ring in distorted harmony against snaking bass lines. And speaking of solos, Turquety’s prowess ranges from bluesy shred (“The Great Pessimistic,” “Ropes of Madness”) to noisy, jazzy explorations (“Polymorphic…,” “Shattered Minds of Evolution”) to Satriani on <strong>Slayer</strong> whammy abuse (“Bonfire of the Vanities”)—a true treat to lovers of tasteful shred. Turquety, Bellonie, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@narocoon/videos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Quentin Feron</a> (on drums, also of <strong>Smerter</strong>) sound as if they’ve been playing together for much longer than the year that <strong>Dissolve</strong> has existed. With a debut this polished, it’s anyone’s guess as to what kind of monster will emerge from the talent that appears so effortless in assembly.</p><p></p><p><strong><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ObsidianMantra" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Obsidian Mantra</a> // <a href="https://obsidianmantra.bandcamp.com/music" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>As We All Will</em></a></b><strong> [September 27th, 2024 – Self Release]<br></strong></strong></p><p><span>Sometimes, a tangled and foreboding cover sits as the biggest draw amongst a crowd of death metal albums alight with splattered zombie remains, illegible logos, and alarm-colored palettes. And in the case of <strong>Obsidian Mantra</strong>, it doesn’t hurt that lead single “Cult of Depression” possesses a devastating, hypnotic groove that recalls the once captivating technical whiplash of an early <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/decapitated-anticult-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Decapitated</strong></a>. However, rather than wrestle with tones that incite a pure and raw violence like that cornerstone act (or similar Poldeath that has followed in its legacy like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/dormant-ordeal-the-grand-scheme-of-things-review-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Dormant Ordeal</strong></a>), <strong>Obsidian Mantra</strong> uses aggressive and bass-loaded rhythmic forms to erupt in spacious and glass-toned guitar chimes to create an engrossing neck-snapping (“Slave Without a Master,” “Condemned to Oppression”). Whether we call these downcast refrains a dissonant melody or slowly resolving phrase, they grow throughout each track in a manner that calls continual reinforcement from a rhythm section that can drop into hammering blasts at a dime and a vocal presence that oscillates between vicious snarl and reverberating howl. In its most accessible numbers (“Chaos Will Consume Us All,” “Weavers of Misery”), <strong>Obsidian Mantra</strong> finds an oppressive warmth that grows to border anthemic, much in the way like beloved blackened/progressive acts like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/hath-all-that-was-promised-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Hath</strong></a> do with their biggest moments. <em>As We All Will</em> still never quite reaches that full mountainous peak, though, opting to pursue the continual call of the groove to keep the listener coming back. Having come a long way from the <strong>Meshuggah</strong>-centered roots where <strong>Obsidian Mantra </strong>first sowed their deathly seeds, <em>As We All Will</em> provides 30 minutes of modern, pulsating, and venomous kick-driven pieces that will flare easy motivation for either a brutalizing pit or a mightily-thrusted iron on leg day.</span></p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Thus Spoke’s Cursed Collection</span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://esoctrilihum.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Esoctrilihum</a> // <em>Döth-Derniàlh </em>[September 20th, 2024 – <a href="https://i-voidhangerrecords.bandcamp.com/merch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">I, Voidhanger Records</a>]</strong></strong></p><p>We complete another orbit around the Sun, and <strong>Esoctrilihum</strong> completes another album; such are the inalterable laws governing each 365.25 Earth day period in our Solar System. Possessed by some mad, restless spirit, it seems they cannot be stopped. Ever the experimenter, sole member Asthâghul now picks up an acoustic guitar, a nickelharpa, and warms up his throat for more clean vocals to further bizarre-ify his avant-garde black metal. As we travel into the cosmos for <em>Döth-Derniàlh</em>, <strong>Esoctrilihum</strong>isms abound in the see-sawing strings and echoes of chanted singing and throaty snarls. The addition of more acoustic elements does bring some weird delicacy to moments here and there (“Zilthuryth (Void of Zeraphaël),” “Murzaithas (Celestial Voices)”), and it adds layers of beauty in addition to those already harmonious passages. it’s striking how well these new instruments blend with the overall sound: so well, in fact, that it almost feels like <strong>Esoctrilihum</strong> hasn’t evolved at all. This isn’t even a bad thing, because <em>Döth-Derniàlh </em>still feels like an improvement. Past albums have always had at least <em>sections</em> of perfection, where the scattered clouds of self-interfering chaos or repetition blow away and the brilliant light of the moon shines strongly. <em>Döth-Derniàlh </em>has more of these than ever, some extending to whole, 16-minute songs (“Dy’th Eternalhys (The Mortuary Renewal),”).<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-august-and-september-2024/#fn-205552-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2</a> If you have it in you to listen to one (more) album over an hour long, and you don’t already know you hate <strong>Esoctrilihum</strong>, sit down with a drink, and maybe a joint, and go where <em>Döth-Derniàlh </em>takes you.</p><p></p><p><a

Wait, what? It’s almost MAY!!! Who approved this two-months-late bullshit?</p><p>Oh… right, that would be me. Shit.</p><p>Well, you know, sometimes life gets in the fucking way, you know? It’s been rough days, and I know I’m not the only one struggling. With 2024 on such a rocky start, it should come as no surprise that we grasp desperately for media to help us escape and find solace in the art of others. Unfortunately for my Filter minions, they don’t get to escape from the mire and muck of the neglected filtration system from which we find what could be generously described as “art.”</p><p>Undeterred, we soldier on. And as we do, we find those nuggets of goodness-but-just-shy-of-greatness which help us survive one more day in this unforgiving world. May you find something in these selections that helps you survive, too!</p> <p><strong><span>Kenstrosity’s Murdery Deathkillers</span></strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Aestheticmetalband/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aesthetic</a> // <a href="https://aestheticmetal.bandcamp.com/album/an-enigmatic-creation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>An Enigmatic Creation</i></a> [February 16th, 2024 – Self Release]</strong></p><p><strong></strong>Spanish melodic death metal troupe <strong>Aesthetic </strong>have been kicking since 2000, but the aptly named <em>An Enigmatic Creation</em> is only their second LP. This record is one strange beast, because for almost anybody with working ears, myself included (ostensibly), it’s almost unlistenable. Entirely the result of a production that makes the album sound like it was recorded with copper instruments inside an oversized tin can, <em>An Enigmatic Creation</em> tests the boundaries of human enjoyment by way of unforgivably boomy drums and guitars, far too forward vocals, and a snare tone that for all intents and purposes is the equivalent of smacking the lid of an aluminum trash can with your palm. <em>However</em>, with the exception of one cringe-worthy, spoken-word travesty entitled “A Strange Encounter,” every song offered here is a straight-up <em>banger</em>. Vivacious <strong>Bal-Sagoth</strong>/<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/kull-exile-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Kull</strong></a> riffing meets <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/brymir-voices-in-the-sky-things-you-might-have-missed-2022/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Brymir</strong></a>‘s adventurous spirit, a tidal wave of blackened tremolos, and a chorus of melodious bells, all filtered through a nautical-sounding aesthetic reminiscent of <strong>Sulphur Aeon</strong>’s <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/sulphur-aeon-gateway-antisphere-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Gateway to the Antisphere</em></a>. Songs like the titular opener, “Vanishing Memories,” “Flashes of Clarity,” and “This Neverending Nightmare” prove that <strong>Aesthetic</strong> know how to write killer tunes with tons of variety and myriad points of interest. It’s a shame <em>An Enigmatic Creation</em>’s bewildering production <em>almost</em> ruins it, but the artistry behind these compositions leaves me stunned and thirsty for more.</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/volucrineband" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Volucrine</a> // <a href="https://volucrine.bandcamp.com/album/etna" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>ETNA</i></a> [February 16th, 2024 – <a href="https://www.inverse.fi/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inverse Records</a>]</strong></p><p><strong></strong>Finnish progressive death metal group <strong>Volucrine</strong> caught me by surprise this year. If I remember correctly, I first encountered third album <em>ETNA</em> while scrolling my Bandcamp feed, attracted by its unique and captivating cover art. A fellow Discordian then reminded me of it in passing, leading me to spin it almost nonstop for an entire day. Progressive death metal with potentially divisive and idiosyncratic vocals lands <strong>Volucrine</strong> in the same camp as bands like <strong>The Odious</strong> and <strong>Omnivortex</strong> circa <em>Diagrams of Consciousness</em>, rounded out with a gentle twist of <strong>Coheed and</strong> <strong>Cambria</strong>’s bright earnestness (“Old Friend”). Fortunately, <strong>Volucrine</strong>’s songwriting flexibility helps <em>ETNA</em> stand out. Early hits like the thrashy “Riptide,” the <strong>In Mourning</strong>-esque “Combatant,” and “Scarred Earth” function successfully as an impressive portfolio of <strong>Volucrine</strong>’s talent and skill. While this means <em>ETNA</em>’s first half contains much variety, it compromises cohesion to meet that quota. However, the back half, featuring killers like “Bloodsport,” “Godsized,” and “Escapist,” prioritizes continuity above all else. An interesting strategy, honing in on developing steady and consistent momentum in the back allows <em>ETNA</em>’s forty-seven minutes to feel more like an even forty, thereby making revisits effortless. <em>ETNA</em>’s unorthodox packaging, combined with <strong>Volucrine</strong>’s twisting and unpredictable songwriting, results in one seriously creative, interesting, and entertaining record!</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/atollofficial" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Atoll</a> // <a href="https://uniqueleaderrecords.bandcamp.com/album/inhuman-implants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Inhuman Implants</i></a> [February 23rd, 2024 – <a href="https://store.uniqueleader.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Unique Leader Records</a>]</strong></p><p><strong></strong>Phoenix, Arizona five-banger<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-february-2024s-angry-misses/#fn-194867-1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1</a> <strong>Atoll</strong> chug along at a brisk pace, releasing new LP’s with remarkable velocity over the course of their short decade of existence so far. Clocking in for its shift as <del>Mambo</del> Album No. 5, <em>Inhuman Implants</em> is yet another relentlessly brutal, slamming death metal assault. Doing absolutely goddamn nothing differently compared to anything else in their discography, this record will beat you to within an inch of your life, infect you with virulently memorable slams, and then leave your bruised and battered body in the gutter (“Autonomic Autosarcophagy,” “Vomit Altar,” “Missionary Opposition”). Chunky rhythms (“Berdella of Blood,” “Primordial Rage”) and swaggering beatdowns (“Husks”) allow this record to retain a notably smooth momentum from start to finish, which in turns makes this respectably tight twenty-nine minutes instantly replayable. But of course, this wouldn’t be a slam record without slamples, and <strong>Atoll</strong> deliver here as well. Album highlight “Gay for God” earns its highlight status in part due to it’s incredible <em>It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia</em> to <em>South Park </em>to <em>It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia</em>-again triple-slample that I’ve got officially penned in my handy-dandy notebook as a… [checks notes]… <em>certified</em> <em>banger</em>. If you should need any further information on <em>Inhuman Implants</em>, you may send your request to my boot on its trajectory to your curb-kissing jaw.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Tales From the Garden</span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://www.monkey3official.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Monkey3</a> // <a href="https://monkey-3.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-the-machine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Welcome to the Machine</a></strong> [February 23rd, 2024 – <a href="http://napalmrecords.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Napalm Records</a>]</strong></p><p><strong>Monkey3</strong> has been around a while. Over 20 years on the market, with a discography running 7 studio albums deep today, the Swiss quartet’s impact has remained modest. Listening to <em>Welcome to the Machine</em>, I have to wonder why. The market for instrumental bands is a bit limited, granted, but not many bands can strike the balance between free-form space rock jams and colossal tidal wave post-metal riffs this well. The slow build on the first half of “Rackman” is superb, growing in gravity as it collects orbital detritus while holding fast to a solid central core, but the second half shifts gears and sounds like it could dual as a soundtrack for <em>Blade Runner</em> or <em>Cyberpunk 2077</em>. If there was any doubt the album title referred to <strong>Pink Floyd</strong>, the opening stretch for “Collapse” contains some clever, tasteful nods to “Time,” and the incredible wealth of solos strewn across the running time draws from Gilmour and contemporaries alike. It takes a lot to get me invested in a guitar solo these days, but <strong>Monkey3</strong> shows incredible expertise at keeping solos interesting through great performances and captivating songwriting. An all-around masterclass at instrumental space-rock, every prog fan owes themselves a spin of <em>Welcome to the Machine</em>.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Dolphin Whisperer’s Twelve-Step Tee Off</span></strong></p><p><strong><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cripplingalc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Crippling Alcoholism</a> // <em><a href="https://cripplingalcoholism.bandcamp.com/music" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">With Love from a Padded Room</a> </em></b><strong>[February 29th, 2024 – Self Release]</strong></strong></p><p>If a song by the forcefully titled <strong>Crippling Alcoholism</strong> popped into a playlist when you weren’t looking, its jangly post-rock leads, melancholic refrains, and rock steady rhythms may not register right away as the air-sucking void that lurks about the unpredictable turns throughout <em>With Love from a Padded Room</em>. Its title serves a snippet of the album’s theme: the reimagining of a prisoner’s story as told from solitary confinement. Though a few tracks feature the back and forth of a distant guest vocalist, a majority of this hour’s worth of snarling, pitch-shifted, starkly-reverbed, and dead-faced diatribes feature as an unkempt solo breakdown to maintain the unsettling mood. Stylistically a melange of spearing-synth depressive rock (“Otessa,” “Rough Sleepers”), modern <em>Murder Ballads</em> goth shuffles (“Evil Has a Babyface,” “Sav”), and metal-fringed left-field swings (“Red Looks Good on Him,” “Mob Dad”), <em>With Love</em> avoids striking twice in the same lane to give each character its own space to fester and boil over. And, if you listen with just a little bit of attention, you can make out how <a href="https://cripplingalcoholism.bandcamp.com/track/lipstick-with-no-lips-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">truly</a> <a href="https://cripplingalcoholism.bandcamp.com/track/evil-has-a-babyface-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">horrifying</a> <strong>Crippling Alcoholism</strong> has crafted <a href="https://cripplingalcoholism.bandcamp.com/track/featherweight-kid-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">these vignettes</a>. Whether you come for the music and stay for the macabre or latch onto to the bloody details and nightmare fuel cover despite this hard-to-tag adventure straying away from the comfort of riffs and solos, <strong>Crippling Alcoholism</strong> can find a powerful hold on your musical journey if you let it. Pairs well with <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/meth-shame-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>meth.</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/king-woman-celestial-blues-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>King Woman</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/sunrise-patriot-motion-black-fellflower-stream-things-you-might-have-missed-2022/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sunrise Patriot Motion</strong></a>, and <a href="https://988lifeline.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">extended dissociation</a>.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-february-2024s-angry-misses/#fn-194867-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2</a>.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span><strong>Dear Hollow’s Blackened Booty</strong></span></strong></p><p><strong><b>Nocturnal Sorcery</b><b> </b>// <i>Captive in the Breath of Life </i>[February 9th, 2024 – <a href="https://kvlt.fi/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KVLT Records</a>]</strong></p><p>From the cover to the moniker to the record label, you can probably guess what <strong>Nocturnal Sorcery </strong>sounds like. <em>Captive in the Breath of Life</em>, the Finnish trio’s second full-length since 2011, offers the bounty of blackened arts in nearly the exact form that you expect it sound like. Cold and raw tremolo, manic shrieks, and blastbeats are all unholy partakers in this trinity of second-wave worship, but thanks to formidable composition, powerful performances, and a willingness to focus on what they can control, <em>Captive in the Breath of Life </em>is everything you love (or hate) about traditionalist black metal. While <strong>Nocturnal Sorcery </strong>is bloated in a few too many interlude tracks and fluff over its forty-nine-minute length, tracks like “Oath at Mt. Hermon,” “Cry of the Wounded Heaven,” “Joyless Dance in the Shadow,” and “Beyond Salvation” are blackened rippers that toe the line between punishment, catchiness, and frigidity – solidly written flow between blazing riffs and passages of slower reverie with jagged teeth bared. More patient epics take the cake, tracks like “Captive in the Breath of Life,” “Damned by the Law of the Stars,” and true closer “Lucifer’s Shade.” Sure, it’s black metal, but its bulletproof compositions don’t pretend to be anything more, so <strong>Nocturnal Sorcery </strong>offers a grim ‘n cold occult trip to the 90’s with <em>Captive in the Breath of Life </em>for those interested.</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener
