Enthroning The Bonds Of Abhorrence’ is a crushing experience. Haunting, ethereal Black Metal imbued with the desperate pathos and hopeless despair of funeral doom, Ill Omen’s second full-length constitutes a bleak and harrowing journey. Destination: darkness, death, dejection. If the void had a sound, this would be it.
 

 A bunch of young bucks dead set on destruction, Oslo's HORRIFIER formed in 2022 and quickly set to work on their first sonic assaults. Their debut demo, Howls From the Grave, came as the year drew to a close, and just as quickly garnered the band attention in the underground. During the spring of this year, HORRIFIER had that demo compiled onto Cave of Death - Vol.1, a five-way split with Vile Apparition, Constant Torment, Goredawn, and Congealed Putrescence. Indeed, a new breed was rising from Norway, and they were bringing back undead sounds...

Whereas its predecessor, Vanskapning (Duplicate Records 2020), was arranged and recorded as one lengthy track, LORE does the exact opposite, consisting of 12 shorter instalments. Still constructed to be listened to as a whole, the pieces segue naturally into one another, creating a whole greater than the sum of it parts. Stylistically, the album lands somewhere between the monolithic shadow of Vanskapning, and the earlier more conventionally structured works. However, the way the parts are arranged bring to mind a movie soundtrack, which makes sense as the early embryo of the album was vastly inspired by Charles Bernstein's Relentless Attack which featured in the 1982 supernatural horror film The Entity. With the lyrics also drawing inspiration from horrific tales, and unique, eerie artwork, LORE becomes so much more than just another metal record, and something of an artefact of horror itself.
