WOLVENNEST / Ritual Lover
Album: Void (2018)
Wolvennest new album is impressive to say the least. While the pachydermic heaviness of the claustrophobic riffs nails you to the ground, an hypnotic spiral of eerie yet fascinating melodies slowly creeps under your skin and then keeps growning until it stucks into your brain. It would be unfair to label such an addictive listening with its own unique identity as "this" rather than "that": we're talking black metal, psych, doom, ambient and that's right but the whole of this stunning record is way more than the sum of its parts.
