Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Tombs opened by fervent tongues - a new EP of Shrine of Insanabilis
Black Vinyl
For over 25 years now, Sargeist - led by erstwhile HORNA guitarist / songwriter Shatraug, who's arguably the most prolific metal musician of that same period - have been at the forefront of the ever-fertile Finnish black metal scene. In fact, alongside HORNA, one could say that SARGEIST are the most influential band of that scene, which has gone on to influence countless other worldwide scenes in this millennium.
As has been the way since 2018's significant Unbound full-length, which saw the arrival of erstwhile Nightbringer / Demoncy guitarist VJS among others, Flame Within Flame also sees the arrival of more new members: longtime HORNA frontman Spellgoth on bass and prolific drummer Nur-i-siyah, who's played with Nawaharjan and Decapitated Christ among others. And while that "classic" SARGEIST lineup that included longstanding co-conspirators Torog and Horns (vocals and drums, respectively) certainly set an enviably high standard, Shatraug and crew continue undaunted, arguably more invigorated than ever. Indeed, Flame Within Flame is presciently titled, for the band's spirit is unextinguishable and unquenchable, seemingly infinite in inspiration whilst remaining characteristically - and DEADLY - focused. From the album's opening seconds, this is classic, burning-with-desperation SARGEIST, but immerse thyself in its icily shimmering waters ever so deeper and one will find that there's an almost-melancholic touch to Shatraug & VJS's riff-sorcery. What results is perhaps the band's most atmospheric record to date - credit, too, to the spacious-yet-immediate production - but one still pulsing with ragged, burning-black emotion: truly, the enduring hallmark of SARGEIST's eternal aesthetic. Of especial note is Shatraug resuming vocals, which he hasn't done since the band's early demo days. Return, once again, to misery and comfort with Flame Within Flame!
Mini-album from black metal disciples FIDES INVERSA, appropriately titled Rite of Inverse Incarnation. But harken! This time, the duo has broken their boundaries and invited two more entities into their creative realm. Comprising two, nearly 10-minute songs, Rite of Inverse Incarnation is a natural followup to the critically acclaimed Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans.
