Unbound

Sargeist have been a perennial favourite since 2010’s excellent Let The Devil In, unfortunately Sargeist have really never been able to come back and exceed what they did then. This year however they come closer than ever. After having in some ways imploded as a band in the intervening years they’ve come back with a stronger line-up with only Shatraug remaining from the original one. Perhaps it’s the new blood showing as many of the flaws of the albums since Let The Devil In are gone: once again we have strong memorable riffs building to good memorable songs (the latter of which many bands tend to fail at). Exploding out of the gate with Psychosis Incarnate this is full blown no frills black metal, there is little let up in the following blistering tracks, not until Death’s Empath rolls around there is some respite, albeit very brief. This is a truly great black metal album and Sargeist best in almost a decade, don’t miss it.
