I really like how this starts. Also the final 3 tracks are super awesome. I'll recheck Thirst, but the overall vibe was cooler, from what I remember.



There's one or other "fun bm" track here, which I'm not very fond of. But I agree this offers a more varied set of songs.

Idk, for me from "Aristocratic Suicidal Black Metal" the whole album slaps as it should. Maybe the first one is the only "warm-up" song, the rest is killer.

Something about this ain't clicking quite like the previous two but I can't say it's bad either.

It's a completely different vibe, I had to intentionally let go of my expectations from the previous releases and just take this for what it is and I found it more enjoyable after doing so.

Totally feel you InfernalDeity!

Previous record have a way more lushy decadent sad vibe (all good things) in the leads mainly. I felt the vocals a bit more filthy too on Diabolic Thirst. I was ecxpecting that too. But after let go of those expectations I've found a banger.

These guys are pretty good but I wonder if someday they might lean harder on the raw/melodic bm aspects. They can do whatever they want with the next record tho just my take.

The production on this is plenty raw. And c’mon 90s bm production has been done to death

Look. Lo-fi production in bm is something I enjoy. It doesn't necessarily have to sound like the 90's. Kekht Arakh is a project I really enjoy and while he usually has lofi production, it does have like a modern element. Would I say Spectral Wound is trying to emulate Mutiilation? Ofc not. I do enjoy this band for what it's worth. They are certainly well produced but guys...even krallice has made some dope ass lofi albums.

I don't think there is a conflict here.
