Irrwisch - Irrwisch (2008) [Demo]

Origin: Netherlands
Genre: Depressive Black Metal
Label: Independent

In DSBM, a demo is more likely to be treated and judged exactly like a full length, because most of the times, they either have the same kind of gross or great production. Irrwisch are an obscure band that no one knows anything about, there are no biographies or information about them anywhere. An email is available and they have a site, pretty much empty.

I admire the production, its deep and thick and clear enough for all the instruments to participate. There are some amazing melancholic melodies and synths in here. Deep howling screams would fit perfectly and that's exactly what the singer's doing, it has the whole package and deserves a place among the masters of the genre. I strongly recommend the fans of the genre to give this a listen if they haven't already. For fans of Woods Of Desolation.

There is a new album or something like that in the works. You can listen to some samples at their website.

DAMAGE: [7.5/10]

Reckoning

From all the hills came screams. A piece of sky beside the crescent sun was detaching. It was a loosened circle of evening sky, suddenly lighted from the back. It was an abrupt black body out of nowhere; it was a flat disk; it was almost over the sun. That is when there were screams. At once this disk of sky slid over the sun like a lid. The sky snapped over the sun like a lens cover. The hatch in the brain slammed. Abruptly it was dark night, on the land and in the sky. In the night sky was a tiny ring of light. The hole where the sun belongs is very small. A thin ring of light marked its place. There was no sound. The eyes dried, the arteries drained, the lungs hushed. There was no world. We were the world’s dead people rotating and orbiting around and around, embedded in the planet’s crust, while the earth rolled down. Our minds were light-years distant, forgetful of almost everything.
