Black Metal from an unknown soul or maybe souls. Musicwise it is nothing you haven’t heard before.
It’s atmospheric and wintery with tracks that have a long duration while the vocals are buried in the mix and the sound is sharp. This might sound familiar, and you’d be right. But familiarity, or maybe lack of originality, doesn’t matter if you don’t feel the urge to skip a song or get bored.
Because that’s the thing with ‘White Tomb Pilgrimage’: it sounds familiar, and the front cover evokes the Black Metal of Winterburial, but it’s executed the way it should be and results in a more than OK album.
If you enjoy the Black Metal part of bands like Bekëth Nexëhmü, you can give it a try.
