Auld Ridge (UK) - Consanguineous Tales of Bloodshed and Treachery (Album 2021)

- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- The fourth release and second full length by this project of mastermind, O.G.W.A. (also behind Albionic Hermeticism and The Hermetic Order of Ytene).
This album definitely represents a culmination in the works portrayed by this entity thus far, as well as a most victorious heighten in his songwriting abilities. "Consanguineous..." is an astounding triumph in composition, not only making use of O.W.G.A.'s singular guitar style in Black Metal in both riffing as in layering, as well as enriching the sound with various passages embedded with Progressive and experimental elements, beautiful druidic Folk tracks as in the vein of "Mitt Ríce" but more complex and thought through and the ominous solitude of the ambient track, "There Is No Room For God Here".
A beautiful balance between the crude traditionalism of the Neofolk passages and most feral Black Metal outbursts, reflecting the theme of Europe's history of bloodshed; and the progressivism in the use of slow, dragging passages, a unique, varied riffing style and complex layering with various elements from acoustic guitars to droney synthethisers, to more epic and entrancing keyboards. A writing style somewhat akin to early Satyricon but even more daring and heretic in a way, while keeping a profound sense of individualism and dedication, which in the end it's the core and essence of Black Metal.
Too hard to put into words for myself. Definitely my album of the year so far and in constant rotation in the past months, one that will sure mark the current age of Black Metal in my book.
Released through the artist's imprint, The Hermetic Order of Ytene, on cassette format, and digital via bandcamp.

such releases don't come to existence very often , monumental work from start to finish with so much covered in it , conceptualised deeply , not to mention the barbaric fury of the music .Honor and glory to the creator of this masterpiece and thank you Rites of Pestilence for spreading as always !
OWGA did it again.
Incredible album and completely agree with your well-written analysis. Been rocking the tape for a couple of months already myself as well but cheers for posting anyway, this one most certainly deserves the recognition!
Masterpiece

Amazing, the best album, a masterpiece of the black metal genre. Pretty much set the compositions and it deservedly a golden award.

This is absurdly good. It sounds rural, if that makes sense. Paints you images of a medieval countryside... absurdly good.
Absolutely agreed. Unspeakably good really, still left in awe
10/10 album.
Excellent. Truly sinister atmosphere. Cheers RoP.
🤘Agree!
Albionic Hermeticism is really awesome too.
Hails bro
Extremely good album I just realised
8:55 Jesus Christ, this riff is good
One of my favorites too ahah
Whole album just rips though
this LP is a breath of fresh air in the current stagnant and tired state of modern black metal. truly a future classick that only those who know will recognise its beauty and suffering. thanks for sharing this one RoP x
Raw! Fast! Great artefact
Raw & Furious !!!!! When in vinyl ?
Reminds me of ILDRA at times,
Will someone do a vinyl release?
Chainsaw tone
Do you know gonna get this a vinyl?
Its looking likely this will have both a Vinyl and CD release, however due to waiting times at pressing plants it will likely take 8 months to a year for it to be released.
@@orderofytene thanks for info ,better later then never this needs a vinyl release
