Empyrée

I don’t recall when or how I stumbled upon Empyrée by Cénotaphe, although NCS did have a premiere for this release so I’m going to just go ahead and assume it’s their fault. Regardless of where or how this EP (which clocking at over half an hour to me is more like an album - I have full-lengths which are shorter) it is a gem. The songs are generally mid-paced and quite melodic the furious vocals wonderfully harsh albeit with some choiresque interludes now and then. The keyboard use is frequent but with the exception of some intros blends well in and never outshines the ravenous delivery of the rest of the instruments, all of which are played by multi-instrumentalist Fog while Khaosgott handles vocals. As they’ve only ever released spits and EPs I am now quite looking forward to what a “real” full-length will look like. Hopefully I won’t be waiting too long.
