With their first album 'Ancestral Void' Germany's MORAST continue to follow the sepulchral path and dismal vision started last year with their well-received demo. 'Ancestral Void' is a trip through melancholic desolation and raging subversion. The album does not conveniently fit into one category - be it doom, death or black metal - 'Ancestral Void' stands on its own with its dark and obscure atmosphere, monolithic riffs, liturgic drumming and gloomy vocals. Six songs about loss, grief, anger and bitterness. A hauling maelstrom erupting into pure armageddon and back. MORAST leaves you lonely, cold and miserable. However, in the end this is a cathartic moment... This piece of pure blackness has been unleashed through the blessed hands of Totenmusik in conspiracy with Van Records.
