From Finland, Die Schwarze Sonne brings their 5th full-length album of… let’s call it eccentric Black Metal.
It is a style of Black Metal that requires a certain taste, with no real link to the Second Wave or anything conventional. Instead, it leans toward orthodox and experimental Black Metal that shifts unpredictably, moving from whispers to distorted wails. It is all over the place, and when the man behind the project, Pestengel, refers to ‘Cold Misanthropic Black Metal’, he is clearly offering his own unique take on it.
For those who appreciate the experimental and the melancholic, this is worth checking out. Others can probably pass on this one.
