The actual Album plus the 4 songs from the 2010 Split release with Sapthuran.
Since 2005, Greece's SAD have been a madly prolific bastion of pure 'n' cold black metal. Their canon is vast and varied - VERY relatively so, given that this is all-caps BLACK METAL after all - with the longstanding duo of instrumentalist Ungod and vocalist Nadir exploring the darkest corridors of their souls every step of the way. They did so across a half-dozen albums for such esteemed labels as Drakkar, Obscure Abhorrence, and Old Temple among others as well as a dozen splits, but then joined forces with PURITY THROUGH FIRE in 2020 for the release of their seventh album, Misty Breath of Ancient Forests, and again in 2023 for Black Metal Craft.
Proudly remaining in the PURITY THROUGH FIRE stronghold, SAD return with their ninth(!) album, Fullmoon's Bestial Awakening. While its title might be something of an aesthetic misnomer - this is NOT bestial metal, thankfully - Fullmoon's Bestial Awakening does keep intact the nastiness of Black Metal Craft, making for a complementary record to its cantankerous predecessor. SAD here are characteristically unconcerned with anything in "black metal" during this millennium, still harkening to the glorious late '90s heyday of Sombre Records or the aforementioned Drakkar and yet tempered with the wisdom & resolve surely established by a band who've been around 25 years now. No more but definitely no less, Fullmoon's Bestial Awakening is raw & ripping orkishness shot through with a touch of the melancholic but all stirred malevolently, where hypnotic speed - cruise, gallop, headbang, or any combination thereof - often rights itself into something somewhat regal or at least triumphant. And just like that not-inconsiderable predecessor, SAD's ninth full-length similarly stretches toward the epic, encompassing eight songs in 55 minutes of righteous obsidian splendor. Cold, old, and still no surrender!

And so it goes with Dysylumn's long-awaited fourth full-length, Abstraction. Curiously titled, Abstraction is actually the duo's most immediate record in many a year; even on the surface, its five-song / 37-minute runtime seems relatively quick by comparison. However, to suggest that Dysylumn are shortchanging their still-swirling creativity by attacking more directly would be grossly missing the point. Gutted bass-throb and etheric guitar characteristically form the foundation, but here does the former sound more pensive and contemplative while the latter suitably slashes & surges with an unmatched amount of emotion. In fact, just isolating the guitar work of Sébastien Besson alone would render Abstraction an incredibly compelling experience, but his impassioned vocals along with the slippery-yet-stylish drumming of Camille Oliver Faure-Brac make the album an effortless exercise in point / counterpoint: a reinvigoration of black metal classicism on one hand and a defiant flipping of the script on the other, bypassing "progressive" and "post" tags not out of churlish disdain but rather as already-established signposts of no use to Dysylumn. Stargazing, wistful, and yet so full of vim and vigor - Abstraction hits emotional centers, HARD, without obfuscating their core creativity. From nascent flames to the final breaths of a flickering light...
