Eisenblut-Shadows of the Storm MC
The debut of this act from the United States of America.
A fine start for this double entry of this act from the Mystic Glory Order collective, blending lo-fi aesthetics with harmonious dualities that create a unique auditory experience.
This record is an exemplary representation of raw black metal, with a clear homage to Eisenwinter; an influence evident not just in the name but throughout the musical landscape of the album. This impact is palpable, but it channels, quite similarly, the essence of other seminal acts like Rostorchester or Totale Vernichtung. This influence, however, is more of a transient flavour; as the soundscape frequently diverges into its own creative territories, exploring different textural concepts and melodic paths.
“Shadows of the Storm” encapsulates the quintessence of black metal through its aggressive riffs, abrasive vocal delivery, and atmospheric undertones, comprising a series of tracks that collectively weave a narrative of darkness and chaos, balanced with melodic interludes that add depth and complexity to the overall sound.
