about
In some ways, In The Absence of Light is true to the rules of black metal. The vocals are harsh and shrill, sounding like the product of a lacerated larynx. The guitars buzz, rip and roar alongside articulate, rapid licks and blazing solos. And the drums slam and crash like exploding mortar shells, whether battering with blast beats, double-bass rolls or syncopated snare hits. There is just the right amount of haunting keyboard washes, though the keys (all played by Sorceron) take a definitive back seat to those on Abigail Williams’ 2008 disc In The Shadow of a Thousand Suns.

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williamssupported by 14 fans who also own “In The Absence Of Light”
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

Shrines of Paralysis
by Ulceratesupported by 8 fans who also own “In The Absence Of Light”
Ulcerate berates you with densely atmospheric and aggressively dissonant progressive death metal with each release. ‘Shrines of Paralysis’ is an intense cavalcade of brutality that you should not hesitate to check out. 8/10

The experimental producer applies her ambient techniques to what is essentially a singer-songwriter record.
go to album -
Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.

Combining live drumming with synthesis and guitar, the latest from Kelpe is beautiful mood music.

Celestial Lineage
by WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOMsupported by 8 fans who also own “In The Absence Of Light”
Les deux types de synthés que sont le mellotron et le korg polysix, la grande harpe de la part de Zeynep Oyku Yilmaz (cette conclusion sur "Astral Blood"...), les chœurs sublimes chantés par Jessika Kenney (des pistes magnifiques comme "Woodland Cathedral" ne se trouvent pas à tous les coins de rues) : Celestial Lineage conclue la trilogie du groupe iconique de black metal cascadien avec panache et majesté. La construction d'un grand temple mental grâce à l'harmonie épique donnée par la nature.
