The Harrowing of Hearts

To quote myself from three years ago This (Conscious Darkness) is a well put together album often at the edge of blackmetal, seeing what comes next will be interesting. Well now we know and the answer is that if Conscious Darkness was on the edge of blackmetal The Harrowing of Hearts has taken the plunge and left most of blackmetal quite a bit in the past. The album swaggers heavily on goth rock but mixes in the required blackmetal tropes, there is tremolo picking and blastbeats galore, but intertwined with just blackend rock. Now normally this would mean my interest would be limited at best, but here’s the rub, there is just enough remnants of blackmetal left that this album is not just interesting but quite enjoyable. So in some sense this leaves us where we were before, Blaze of Perdition has released an interesting album, not necessarily a groundbreaking or great one, but whatever comes next it will undoubtedly be worth checking out.
