Brilliant atmospheric disso black from Canada, therefore it's as well as technical and progressive 😁, and with some Kriegsmaschine vibe. Among AOTY of atmo black Dmitry Nevozhay
It took me far longer than I care to admit to "get" Mare Cognitum. But here we are, all the way at the beginning, where it all started; and what a masterpiece it is. "Ambient" black metal is seriously underselling this album. It is raw, it is brutal, it will not hesitate to eat you alive; and yet it is musical, it is emotional, and it will shelter you with its wings. I often turn to metal when in times of rage, but Mare Cognitum has shown that rage can still be contained and reasoned with. Faith
Canadian Atmospheric Black Metal. I had left this to rot in my wishlist for years sadly & it was only through NepHers' collection that I remembered... :) Thank you so much NepHers! I love the gradual build-ups here & how they end in full blown ABM. Methinks it is time for a new album & I solemnly promise to be there on time for it... :) Highly recommended!!! bmurator
