House of the Black Geminus

For almost two decades Naas Alcameth has been putting out black metal with his many projects, and with every release there has been some tangible improvement be it in songwriting, composition, production - oftentimes all of the above. So it should probably not come as a surprise that even this well would run dry. I should be clear that House of the Black Geminus isn’t a bad album, it’s just a bit disappointing in that it fails to be an improvement on the last one. Sound wise it feels like a continuation from Melinoë but without any obvious improvements, and the songs while well written and played lack something, listening through the album I don’t remember any particular song or passage nor do I immediately feel the urge to hit repeat. Hopefully this is just an aberration and I still look forward to whatever comes next.
