I stumbled upon Bâ'a's _Egrégore_ earlier this year and being wholly
unfamiliar with the band I simply enjoyed the album. Fast forward to
now and while pulling up the links for this brief little write-up I
realize that this is their second album. So after some hurried
listening to the debut I'm annoyed that I took me until now to hear it
as the debut is a strong albeit pretty standard and straight forward
melodic blackmetal, but thoroughly enjoyable. Listening to _Egrégore_
after having listened through _Deus qui non mentitur_ the first thing
which strikes me is that it's a more restrained affair, part of that
is down to the production which is warmer and more dynamic than on the
debut, but the music is also more varied which makes it an interesting
album which lingers with you a bit longer than it might otherwise
have. Recommended.
