Like a sledgehammer in the dark, OUTRE delivered a vicious blow to the unsuspecting in 2015 with their relentless and punishing debut record, “Ghost Chants”.
As the sun begins to set on 2018, smoldering fires reignite, old wounds open anew, and OUTRE return with their sophomore effort, “Hollow Earth”. Pushing the envelope on an already polished and tight sound, “Hollow Earth” sees the band continue to refine their craft, effortlessly weaving blasting black metal dissonance with guttural, down tuned death metal savagery and sludge-like grooves. Ghostly synths and ethereal clean vocals spiral into this blackened vortex, lending their distant cries to a haunting and cavernous atmosphere.
A blade to the heart of all things beautiful, “Hollow Earth” brooks no illusions of hope, and is nothing less than a writhing and hideous abomination of a record.
Known as one of the founding fathers of the American death/funeral doom metal scene, New Jersey’s EVOKEN have been a long-standing pillar over the band’s 25 year pillage. Their new full-length album “Hypnagogia” is the band’s sixth LP, their first in six years since their landmark “Atra Mors” album, and is a towering monolith that develops and redefines the band’s sound that will only strengthen their position within the death/doom metal hierarchy where EVOKEN have always reigned.
Reissue 2018
Originally released in 2004, Mysteries of the Nocturnal Forest is a sarcophagi of despair as the album’s nine tracks account for a hour’s worth of raw misanthropic misery. Hauntingly primal, the album’s evocative nature is matched by its flawless lo-fi production of ghostly guitars and ethereal synths. Evilfeast’s lone multi-instrumentalist, GrimSpirit, begins his prolific body of work with a wintry dissonance. With over two decades of depraved black metal under his belt, it is easy to see why Evilfeast belongs alongside Burzum, Paysage d'Hiver and Midnight Odyssey.
Inspired by the frost-bitten regions of Québec, the title of Cantique Lépreux’s second full-length directly translates to “polar landscapes,” exploring a recurring theme of the icy wilderness which makes up the majority of the band’s homeland.
Musically, Paysages polaires continues the nostalgic path laid out with the frosty, archaic tunes from the band’s debut album as the record carves itself into another 45-minutes of darkness, misery and gloom. Cold black metal for the ages, Paysages polaires’ stirring anthems – with a sharper and more direct songwriting approach – lead the way throughout the sophomore album’s seven hypothermic tracks.
Based on fast and atmospheric black metal, Paysages polaires balances between beautiful and harsh dirges in combination with the conceptual middle trifold of songs based around the North American winter. The passionate Québécois carry a secret fire of stellar splendor as Cantique Lépreux reveals a wild black metal monument set in ice and stone. "
Cold, grim and fast Norwegian Black Metal in the 90's way. For fans of old stuff of Mayhem, Dhodheimsgard, and with some similitudes with Kampfar, Satyricon and Isvind
Second album.
