There are times when the fact that I write this for my own blog, in my
own time pays off, in that I get to cover a late release which most
real lists miss. Now at least this year it wasn’t on purpose, it just
happened. However it’s a good thing it did because I’ve been spinning
this Martröð album incessantly for the past two weeks. Unsurprisingly
given the members I get a fair amount of Skáphe vibes, but there is
also a fair amount of older Deathspell Omega dissonance going on. It’s
in some ways hard to describe this album, the tracks flow well
together and there is an awful lot going on at all times. I can
imagine this turning off lots of folks but the chaos to me is a huge
part of the charm and it’s what keeps me coming back. Hard to
overstate how good this is, if anything in here has made you even
mildly curious I urge you to give it a long hard listen, you won’t
regret it.
