Black Metal
CANDELABRUM hail from Portugal, renown in the past decade for its polarizing raw black metal scene. The nameless mainman behind the band has been involved within that scene for many years, and even before his native scene found worldwide recognition. And even within that scene/idiom, CANDELABRUM stands alone, enigmatic and electric: his works are slavishly reverential of ancient black metal whilst simultaneously unorthodox. The band’s two albums to date, 2016’s Necrotelepathy and 2018’s Portals, are equally astounding modern classics which emit a strangely shimmering quality amongst an explosion of emotive rawness. Both albums are immersive and mesmerizing experiences unto themselves.
Wisely prizing quality over quantity, CANDELABRUM only emerge from the shadows when a new experience is fully formed and ready to curse/haunt/liberate the listener: at long last, Nocturnal Trance. Truly titled, this third album is a strident synthesis of its monolithic predecessors as well as form meeting content. Conceptually, Nocturnal Trance deals with the same theme of Necrotelepathy and Portals: death and the passage to a different plane, beyond. On those previous CANDELABRUM records, the figure on the front cover is always “moving” – crossing the passage, as it were – but this time, the mainman chose to clearly portray the passage from absolute darkness to an ominous monochromaticism: both a blinding light and a complete lack of it, going beyond darkness and back around to an absence of literally everything.

Bestowing a mastery of harsh and bleak raw black metal. Indonesian Raw Black Metal entity JURE GRANDO conspires rites of undeath in a manifestation of this tormented anomaly that emits sounds of dark witchery and voiding chaos.
A revelation of JURE GRANDO is summoned, ‘ARCHAIC MOON MYSTICISM’ will rebirth the shrouded unholy spirits that follow the path of mystic raw black metal. This dedication of evil is a manifestation of ethereal illusions and chaotic visions. This declaration of Raw Black Metal is a proclamation of impure, inhuman, and unholy sounds. This distorted and destructive assault summons eight tracks of ancient invocations, leading an alliance of treacherous drumming, tortured howls, and mystic guitar melodies. These offerings demonstrate the total worship of chaos and abhorrence, leading JURE GRANDO further into the nights veil after the entities two previously released demos. A resurrection of raw ferocity and internal evil devoid of life.

Building upon that grand fortress is a four-song/22-minute mini-album likewise truly titled: The Oath of the Black Wolf. Here, ORGREL have gone a-hunting, their ’90s black metal classicism stalking and striking with a hunger only hinted at previously. Still, fueled by this fire they may be, the Italians across this mini manage to maximize their epic side, with the predecessor’s flat-yet-full soundfield now becoming slightly more chromatic in the process. Lead lines portend dark truths, ever building in tension and then grandeur, but the record’s swift-yet-satisfying runtime reveals the darkest, most intrinsic truth: black metal doesn’t need to “become” anything when it already IS. Hail The Oath of the Black Wolf!
