#9 of 10
Year: 2009
Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal
Label: Candlelight Records
TRT: 59:56
This French outfit has been around for 15 years, and until recently it was a one man act rather than an actual band.
Regardless, Vindsval and his motley entourage have released seven albums in that amount of time, all of them solid, but also mostly remaining relatively out of the limelight.
Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue With the Stars is no different, it's the band doing what they do best. Cold atmospheric sound-scapes filled with blood freezing screams and spine chilling ferocity.
But what I like the most about their style is the layers and textures underneath the blast beats and banshees, really subtle stuff that you don't necessarily notice at first, but is intrinsic to the whole.
I love multifaceted music that offers even more fulfillment over time.
