Lunar Mantra - Genesis

Bandcamp

| Black Metal | Awake the dragon inside you with the arcane piece Genesis. It takes you to untrodden paths, far beyond you psychical mind.

All the songs on the disc are constructed as classical music, they're downright symphonic, without using such nonsense as synths or other cheating devises. In order to accomplish this feat requires almost a genius, or someone that reincarnate carnal knowledge.  They manage to create such a massive space in their music, it's like one moves weightlessly through blind corridors on a astral plane. 

Everything is extremely well recorded to the smallest detail, every single chord sounds like the strings of a doomsday orchestra aimlessly riding in chaos. The atmosphere is always present, it's like you constantly have a creature breathing down your neck, and your body is filled with a devouring void, wanting only more, and more!!!

The album has a lot of ritualistic aspects with the chanting tones, voices  and structure. But it is also a journey through the unknown darkness. It really takes you to other places, far beyond, you see things foul and disgusting. It all comes together in a creation that is both deafening beautiful, terrifying and otherworldly.

Thy Flesh - Thymiama Mannan

Welcome to a journey through the twisted and esoteric world of the hellenic band Thy Flesh. And what a ride it is, its both ceremonial and grand with an great sinister dark atmosphere you almost can feel breathing on your eardrums. It even goes further than that, right to the spinal fluid and pulsates out until all the hair on your flesh stands in shiver. This grand bruning temple contains seven well composted manifestations, with the divinely song "Rape Magic" being the black crown of the seven deities. The production of the opus is well fitted with an soundscape that lets every instrument be heard and melt them together in a sound from far beyond the abyss, in the sulphur oozing caves. It delivers an great variation in the songs, no other tune sounds alike, with an great equilibrium between melodies and carnal instincts. Top it all of with lyrics that are well worth to read and you have an intellectual, perverted and terrible temple that must be entered. Recommended for people that appreciate bands like Watain, Ofermod and Valkyrja.
