Sun Worship. Black metal with a future.
Black metal is dull nowadays. Everybody has done "true" and "cvlt" to fucking death. We have had tremolos picked so many times as an audience our ear drums are on permanent vibrato. I have had to play "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" or dust off my copy of "De Mysteriis...." to remember that most of the stuff released since then is not new and is a dull regurgitation of former genre defining releases.
Enter Sun Worship. Billed simply as "black metal from Berlin", I stumbled across their "Elder Giants" release yesterday by complete accident whilst on a trawl of Bandcamp. The frantic yet well paced BM is held together by a real atmospheric density that at times is so obvious you could slice chunks of it off and roast them over a fire.
The first 3 tracks on offer here all build perfectly into blistering displays of scathing emotion and fury. They draw you in with a sense of intrigue that isn't as obvious as you first think, it's not until you are sat stunned by what unfolds that you realise what a special place you find yourself in. Then to finish the experience off there is a display of atmospheric noise and haunting keys to finish on a very unexpected note.
All of this is available at the sum of your choosing here but of course if you want more of this quality BM then you will put your hand in your pockets and throw a few pennies the way of this superb band. Check out some of their other releases whilst you are there too.
