Black Metal from Germany and Finland. With Sarastus, Sarkrista, Slagmark,.. member Necuratul harkens back to the mid '90s and specifically the early days of vampiric black metal. Names invoked include America's Black Funeral as well as France's Vlad Tepes, Mutiilation, Funeral, Blessed in Sin, or any number of bands orbiting the Black Legions or Concilium collectives. Which is all to say: fuck-off RAW yet melancholically melodic, harsh and harrowing yet paradoxically aristocratic, feverish and ghoulish in intensity but also frequently exploring dungeon synth textures.
