Today Lachryma Christi brings you a review for a rather different and surprisingly good album. It is called ...ni degu fazentz escumergamënt e mesorga..., it is scheduled to be released on the 26th of March, and the band is called Escumergamënt.
They are from Sweden, and feature members of the Swedish Black Metal scene. However, they prefer to keep a low profile, so there is nothing that could interfere on the interpretation you make of the album.
They also signed a deal with Avantgarde Music on the 15th of February. Good acquisition, I must say. This album is too good.
For the name and title of the album, they used a language that used to be used in medieval times, but that is kind of disappearing: Occitan.
There are six tracks in the album. All of them very intense.
...ni degu fazentz escumergamënt e mesorga... was recorded in three days, in a wooden chapel.
Do you know when you are lost for words? That is it that is happening right here. I'm flabbergasted. Hope you will be too.
So this album not just a random or regular Black Metal album. It is raw at bits, it is very "cold", very groovy; very Black Metalish and at the same time, very different from all I have heard.
The voice is fantastic, perfect even, I would say. And it fits perfectly the almost experimental music. There is a lot of melody in there, and there is a lot of feel. Anyone can tell that they really were feeling what they were playing at the time.
If feels and sounds genuine. It is original. It gets you almost into a trance from where you don't want to come out. Gives you a comfortable feeling, really. Takes you into an introspective journey.
There are angry riffs, angry drums, no space for cheesy or catchy melodies, but still sticks to your brain somehow.
Beautiful, exceptional, profound.
And look at that cover!
Well, I suggest that you do yourselves a favour, and listen to it when it comes out. 26th of March sounds far away, but it is right around the corner.
2021 is is already being great, in what comes to Black Metal releases!
