Ethereal Horizons

Blut Aus Nord has been one of my favorite bands for a long time, they’ve been on my year end list eight times in the past fifteen years, which is twice the next most featured band, or the combined amount of times for the second and third most featured band. So it is hard to write something which I feel I haven’t already said about them. This years album was slightly surprising to me as I had expected another installment in the Disharmonium franchise (I thought I’d read it was to be a trilogy, but in a recent interview the band stated it was not), instead it was something closer to 2019’s Hallucinogen which is one of my most played BaN albums. This was obviously a pleasant surprise and while this doesn’t reach the highs of Hallucinogen it isn’t that far off, and it’s another beautiful album that I’ve been unable to quit since it came out. Perhaps the most amazing part is that after sixteen albums BaN can still keep releasing albums that feel immediately recognizable without sounding like a bad rehash. This album is another stellar achievement and one which will not quickly leave my rotation.
