SMOHALLA
Ruina Draconis

SMOHALLA's avant-garde black metal is overwhelming, rich in nuances, tempo shifts, and atmospherics. The arrangements are extremely layered; the structures, complex yet consistently coherent, serve a songwriting that masterfully interweaves epic dark melodies, nocturnal ambient/electronic interludes, and unstoppable explosions of metal violence, while Slo's vocal performance alternates between beastly screams and dreamy vocalizations.

The cosmic and hypnotic grandeur of "Ruina Draconis" is a religious experience that revives the great avant-black tradition of masters ARCTURUS and VED BUENS ENDE
