Fantastic debut EP by this new act from Norway, an exemplary piece of epic and well-written atmospheric black metal. Multiple memorable riffs and great structure all throughout.
The production and approach sometimes reminds of Spectral Lore's III,
with a few distinct riffs appearing in "Forgotten Tongues" and "Smoke
and Ashes", but it also sounds more like space ambient black metal a la
Darkspace in "Three Black Years".
I am really picky with this genre, which can completely crash and burn in case it doesn't succeed. This case is completely the opposite, I overly enjoyed the whole of this mini-release and really looking forward to more activity by the band, as well as more exposure to their material.
What could that band name mean?
Release: June 21st, 2024
