Comments on a punishing show at Cellarmen’s in Hazel Park.
Players of obnoxious, abrasive music.
catchy chorus riffs and perfect vocal styles
chasing one another around the sonic waves
The album is certainly a cohesive whole with an epic feel. There are dark moments, triumphant moments, emotional moments.
Adhering fairly tightly to the supposed rules of black metal, Circle Of Salt manage to also convincingly pull elements from other parts of the heavy metal universe and assemble them expertly.
The heaviness is definitely strong in this one.
Black metal band Thantifaxath explore further these possibilities of black metal, cloaking themselves to remain acutely dedicated to sound over visual aesthetic. Their music serves as a portal to something both bizarre and impenetrable which disorientates the listener consistently.
This is indeed a very solid album that contains all the right stuff to make your day. It may not start a revolution, but heads will certainly roll.
