Goddamn, this is filthy, crude and raw in all the right ways! ‘Lycanthropic Bloodlust’ is the perfect example of the cacophonous sonic assault that only Black Metal is capable of creating.
If I could summarize Nirmolak’s first register in a single word, I’d say “unrelenting” would fit the description like a glove. Because this is a non-stop and bludgeoning piece of Raw Black Metal that definitely would appeal to fans of the more depraved and cavernous side of the genre.
The music here contained is dense and filled with anger, giving it contours of a threatening aura, a sense of danger and of suffocating isolation. Quite impressive for a first outing!
I wouldn’t dare say ‘Lycanthropic Bloodlust’ is an easy listen, actually, it’s anything but. So I’d recommend this EP only for the more adventurous listeners and those who ‘d like to challenge themselves in exploring the more deranged side of Black Metal.
Just check out the title song here and you’ll get a picture of what I’m talking about.
