Finnish BM on the topic of Lappish shamanism, absolute TIP!
Finnish BM on the topic of Lappish shamanism, absolute TIP!
Atmospheric Black Metal from Finland
Digipack
Simply but elegantly titled, Purist is stark, austere, but exceptionally sumptuous. The skyscraping surge is undeniably rooted in the most mystical recesses of the '90s black metal memory, recalling the dazzling depths/heights reached by the early works of Limbonic Art, Covenant, and Norway's Troll but with an astral identity all its own. Indeed, TO CONCEAL THE HORNS' acute/astute balance between cosmic wonder and woodland wander places Purist in a more modern context without diluting any of its classicist foundation. Likewise, the album's clear 'n' cutting contours emit a palatably gleaming sheen, where the layers are subtle but defined, and none of the inherent aggression is neutered. Above all, Vexd's songwriting itself is of a sterling standard, his cosmic keys the creation of a man transfixed by the stars and with the talent and resolve to capture it in sonic form.
The past is always alive within the PURITY THROUGH FIRE stronghold, but with TO CONCEAL THE HORNS' Purist, a trip to the negative void of space awaits!
