Asagraum – Dawn Of Infinite Fire (2019)

April 14, 2023

For someone who talks a lot of shit in interviews about the usual we’re-better-than-you-because-we-are-elitist-black-metal-musicians rubbish, Asagraum sure fail to really strike a match and light a fire. Is Dawn Of Infinite Fire a bad album? Not by any stretch of the imagination. But does it offer even the tiniest remote smidgen of something new to black metal? Absolutely fucking not.

Again, let me re-iterate that this is not a BAD album. However, the entire record is an over-produced wall of sound with no interesting elements save for a few catchy leads and the final track, “Waar Ik Ben Komt de Dood”, which from out of nowhere, actually shows a spark of inspiration. Imagine that.
