    9 years, forged with experience and time, you just can't rush art.
    This is why more bands should stop focusing on releasing more music periodically, and focus on creating true pieces of art that will last for way longer than the time it took to create them.

      I disagree with your second statement for one main reason: people do "art" for very different reasons. If you take your time to carefully craft an album, only for it to get like 25k views on youtube and 8k listeners on spotify, then you are most likely not doing it for the money and have a different source of income to sustain yourself. Bands that constantly release albums most likely consider their music a significant source of income, and can't keep going when they have not released anything other than a black metal album 9 years ago.

      yes 2023 had few worthwhile albums, namely the Abigor, Thy Darkened Shade, Xalpen, Infernal Execrator. Asagraum , NekrokristSS split and Sacrilegious Impalement albums were pretty cool but at the same time nothing special. Ofermod / Black Altar / Acherontas (AXEPONTAZ now or whatever) split had some strong songs but had a lot to live up to. Daemonian album was solid, much better than the first one anyway. as far as death metal goes the Burial Hordes album and Malicious EP were worthwhile but the Thanatomass was a disappointment. the bombastic black metal polish band, Manbryne was too overblown even for a band that seems to be trying to continue the atmosphere of behemoth the satanist.
      so this is not even 5-10 good ones for all of 2023, and most of them were just not very special but I'll take what I can get. A year with a handful of releases to settle for since it was such a drought. 2024 should be better musically, it has to be.

    Didn't want to say any comment until multiple listens. My first impression was right, when they hit the first riff. They articulated their playing skills, which were kinda exaggerated in their previous works. This is the definition of how musicians evolve into something truly magnificent. So complex and well brought to execution on so many levels. Big like and respect.
