Throcult – “Stormbringer: Conjuration of the Nighthorde”
There’s quite a bit of layers going on with this album. In fact, I listened to it some ten times because I kept feeling like I did not really get it at first. This is, for sure, well-performed black metal with a cool chaotic feel. The guitar work and overall sound, really, is to be heard several times to get an idea. The drumming is technical, but sounds more frantic than technical, which is cool, for a change. The riffs can sound dissonant, while thrashing the next. Very promising. For some reason, though, this album never really clicked for me. Too technical maybe?
