The Future Is Dark

by Stellar Descent

supported by

Final There’s no doubt Stellar Descent is my favorite Cascadian black metal act and, indeed, one of my favorite bands altogether. I’m hence confident this will be one of the most enthralling releases of the year, and it appears they even got Déhà (of well-deserved Yhdarl and Slow fame) to master it: I can think of no-one better for the job.

"There’s a lot to be said for music in which you can (or must) simply surrender yourself and become lost in it, music that takes you deep inside yourself, to those corners of your head that are rarely illuminated, or that casts your mind waaaaay the fuck out there… seemingly outside yourself. The only way these things happen in a deep way, whether it’s this kind of music or some other, is through the devotion of time. If you find the right guide, a guide like Stellar Descent, all the minutes pay off."
-Islander, NOCLEANSINGING

ALMA

Puisque le chant était le plus grand défaut de EOS, c'est cet élément, désormais assuré par AW seulement, qui sera le point de départ de mon commentaire sur ALMA, sorti à peine six mois plus tard. Il est plus varié mais AW se refuse quand même à abandonner le copier coller ce qui fait qu'on aura tendance à oublier qu'il est là : un comble pour une voix aussi torturée ! Pourtant, pour ce qui est du black metal cosmique, mon avis reste le même : ALMA est un abîme de terreur plus violent que EOS ! Jordan Vauvert

The dissonant bleakness of the first track is less weird and more hypnotic than on the second track. That's why I like it a little more. But both songs together make for an extraordinary experience and a journey to the arhythmically beating heart of darkness. mourner
