1349 – Revelations Of The Black Flame (2009)

March 11, 2022

Revelations Of The Black Flame is an unusual entry into the 1349 discography. The band are no strangers to atmosphere and eeriness, as this often permeates their blasting, unstoppable black metal. However, the usual carnage takes a back seat here. Granted, its still here, just in less quantities. When it rips, it rips hard, but for the most part, this album is filled with unusual sonic atmospheres and haunting, cavernous ambience. The sonics crawl more than they leap forward in blastbeat abandon. Oh, and there’s a Pink Floyd cover. A strange one!
