Diva Karr (US) - Hardly Still Walking, Not Yet Flying - 2024 full length

The sophomore album, five years after the debuting one with two splits between them, of this act from Boston.
This offering builds upon the foundation laid on their earlier work, delivering a potent mix of dissonant black metal, unsettling power electronics, noise and dark ambient and other experimental textures.
Diva Karr masterfully blends these disparate elements into a surprisingly cohesive and dynamic soundscape, keeping listeners on their toes, seamlessly transitioning from ferocious black metal assaults to unsettling power electronics breakdowns, all punctuated by moments of dark ambience and noise. This unpredictable nature creates a truly haunting experience, constantly shifting moods and textures while maintaining a consistently bleak atmosphere.
While black metal forms the backbone of the album, Diva Karr is not afraid to venture beyond its boundaries. The occasional foray into other sonic territories adds depth and intrigue to the listening experience. However, the band maintains a strong connection to their black metal roots, ensuring the album never strays too far from its core identity.
While I truly recommend you to listen to the first album, if you enjoy this, "Hardly Still Walking, Not Yet Flying" is an even more powerful offering that builds upon the promise of Diva Karr's debut showcasing their ability to craft dynamic and unpredictable black metal infused with experimental flourishes.
