The second record from Switzerland’s Ravendust, titled ‘The Gold of the Aura’, is released via Wolfmond Production. Behind Ravendust is the artist Raven, known for his involvement in Malphas and Chotzä, who sought an additional Black Metal outlet.
On ‘The Gold of the Aura’, you can hear melancholic Black Metal with occasional excursions into Rockin’ Black ’n Roll, with ‘Among Death’, and ‘The Dying Flamme’, being prime examples. You hear the many different sides of Ravendust on ‘The Gold of the Aura’, held together by a thread of melancholy; while some will appreciate this level of variety, others may feel it lacks a definitive sense of cohesion.
