Riley Kesselring a firey maelstorm that refuses to relent. Galeforce winds whip up sand, debris and charred earth as the ritual hits full swing. love the wall of sound on this album Favorite track: Those Who Dwell in the Spiral Dark.

Sonny92 Two lengthy tracks of blackgaze / atmospheric black metal that also incorporates elements of post-rock, the whole echoing the band's first release, Rays of Brilliance and it's searing, hypnotic effect on the listener. This really is all about the atmosphere - and what an atmosphere it is. This is great stuff, so far removed from the endless conveyor of copycat tediousness that the atmo-black community is becoming, that it may well be a completely different beast altogether. Favorite track: Those Who Dwell in the Spiral Dark.

Entropy Black Metal filtered through Swans noise wall. These guys are doing exciting things for the genre. Favorite track: White Jaw.

about

Emerging from the edge of the ancient forests of the Veluwe, Solar Temple offers their debut full length. 'Fertile Descent' lures you in with its direct yet swirling black metal impression and unique approach. Like something sinuous at the edge of your vision but not quite perceivable, the two tracks of this album twist and bend with a dizzying ferocity. Pummeling sounds entwined with a distant echo that also feels warm and inviting.

'Fertile Descent' takes the foundation laid with the 2017 demo, 'Rays of Brilliance' and expands on its reverberant nature. Subtly giving the nod to a wide variety of bands ranging from contemporary dutch black metal to Swans, it weaves a veiled path for the listener.

Nothing too weird or deliberately complicated, just totally absorbing riffs that swirl in a very satisfying way, with the right amount of variation and tempo changes across the album to keep it interesting but always within this very enthralling world. Also I enjoy the very 'real' engineering! Giles
