Rebirth of Nefast - Only Death (2006)


Irish black metal (pretty sure that's a first for this blog.) Three long, linear compositions that maintain both a dark, trance-like state and a consistent sense of forward momentum -- like falling deeper and deeper into an endless abyss as tortured ghosts hover, howling and writhing in agony, on all sides. By the way, I'm extremely high on kratom.

Track listing:
1. Wrapped in the Earth
2. Flaming the Inner Snactum
3. That Deathly Aura

Drink of the black chalice

  1. Insightful pharma discussion aside, there'd better not be clogging on this record. Hey wait, black metal clogging might be kind of cool. Or does Abbath already do it? I'm confused.

    1. No clogging, but I can't guarantee you that the band members aren't leprechauns

  2. Seems this band later moved to Iceland - I guess the Emerald Isle isn't the ideal place for creating black metal? (Cue hundreds of messages from Irish black metal fans/bands).
