Ynkleudherhenavogyon / Venymysgourvleydh – Freudhek Kothni Sekus Lytherenna (2022)

February 16, 2024

One of the coolest things I’ve heard for a while from the black metal world. Super lo-fi, intense compositions from the forgotten lands of Cornwall. At first it can be quite difficult to tell the two projects apart, but whilst there are slight differences between them it is pretty obvious that they were both composed by the same individual. The production is (no doubt deliberately) obscure and the drums are muffled blurs of kicks and hits, but the riffs buried in this thing are second to none. Couple that with the intense atmosphere, artwork, ambient passages and those incredible names, and you’ve got a winner. Seriously cool shit. Well worth going off the beaten path for.
