Digipak ReRelease mit neuem Design und Bonusmaterial.
Hailing from Norway, KVAD indeed performs black metal exclusively in the ancient Nordic tradition. The band is yet another project of the ever-prolific Peregrinus, who numbers the likes of UNHOLY CRAFT, SOLUS GRIEF, Hjemsøkt, Darkest Bethlehem, and Praefuro among his current endeavors. Then a duo, in 2022, KVAD released the Invocations EP and Cold & Dark, As Life debut album in quick succession, and now Peregrinus continues to strike while the burning church is hot with their second album, So Old.
On one hand, So Old is aptly titled: the album begins with a desolate melancholy of what once was, and then the blizzard of distortion leads into a cryogenic grimness not unlike mid-'90s Gorgoroth, particularly the hackle-raising, Hat-esque screams of Peregrinus. And so KVAD follows this trajectory for a good deal of the album...but their songwriting unfolds, fever-dreaming into strange shapes not found among the ashes of those churches. While never dissonant per se, that blizzard of riffing soon compounds into a fury/flurry backed by Peregrinus' brisk-yet-building drums; it's a howling hysteria that's not altogether untuneful, and its slipstreaming vortex suggests the superlative late '90s psychedelia of Svest and Weakling. But, much as he does with his other projects, Peregrinus is not one to be (exclusively) pinned down to one specific style, and possesses the songwriting nous to turn these classics-minded creations into ones respectably modern. So Old, and yet so alive!

17 minutes of hate hailing from Finland!
One of the most powerful demos PURITY THROUGH FIRE has come across in recent years, MALIGNAMENT's Demo I puts most official/regular-length releases to shame in sheer songwriting prowess and furious, full-throttle execution. Not much is known about this band, other than that they hail from Finland. And while bearing some/many traits for which Finnish black metal is known/renown, MALIGNMENT offer a more overtly muscular and most definitely more triumphant aspect than that scene's characteristic freezing fire. In fact, the dizzying/mesmerizing melodicism that poignantly pushes each of these three tracks onward is a unique trait unto itself, when paired with such a roiling 'n' robust soundfield. Above all, the duo drive deeply into the fundamentals of black metal and reside there - and there alone - never varying in their dedication or sidestepping into more miscegenated waters: simply, the purest and proudest all-caps BLACK METAL, no more but definitely no less.
Demo I is but the start of MALIGNAMENT's march, so beware or be gone!
