Subject: 9: Ashencult - Black Flame Gnosis From: .jh Date: 2012-12-16T14:47:18Z Tags: music blog best\ of best\ of\ 2012 Ashencult 2012 ![Black Flame Gnosis](/gfx/ashencult.jpg) Ashencult like Blodhemn previously comes as breath of stale 90's air, there is ample Scandinavian black metal worship here to go around, however at times it breaks with this and we get a whiff of contemporary American black metal. Hence there is more here than just nostalgia, the album is fairly strong with quite a few memorable riffs and songs, and as such it's graced my playlist many a times this year since it was released. Looking forward to see what develops next. [Ashencult](https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ashencult/3540357608) ---
