Domains Ascensionem: solid black and brutal metal casting fly at odd angles
Dodkvlt, III: Domains Ascensionem, South Korea, Misanthropic Art Productions, MACD 034 (2012) Album No. 3 man black metal band Finnish Dodkvlt I had never heard of until a month ago, “III: Ascensionem Domini” is a strong and brutal work that deserves to be brought to a wider audience, and may just be the breakthrough needed Dodkvlt. The first track “Architect Dark Void” is a work of 12 minutes that summarize the band’s style: it is at the same time full of heavy and aggressive, raw style and sound dense, dark and unforgiving attitude, and fit to fly unexpected tangents music. Even the first few bars of the song are unusual: they are elegant (synth), chamber music, string works worthy of a baroque concerto and through various steps of the song you can hear this cycle of repetition orchestra in the background. The pace and rhythm of the song swing driving black metal riffs loud explosions of fury storm suddenly quiet passages delicate piano melody. There is a little ‘melodic hard rock in some parts and some technical supermassive black metal riffs in others. All this is on top of everything else incredibly hoarse voice demoníacas.El album does not quite reach the versatility of opening if the songs are taken individually, but they have some interesting surprises. “A curse in this miserable world” is very headbangingly wonderful, but it also has some unusual rhythms parties and even a little ‘bright space environment that is easy to miss if you sneeze at the wrong time. How to confuse the audience, the man Theynian Dodkvlt Lord gives the orchestral loop from track 1 to the dense structure. “As we go down the bottomless Empty” is fierce and uncompromising in his attack, but also has sections where the music seems to float in a huge empty cavern where there is darkness everywhere, and people. About nine minutes there is a turning point in post-rock pop metal touching the salon that very few bands that have decided to do Caina comes to mind as one of those bands who are not afraid to dip your toes in casual easy- listening lint pop.Es difficult to follow the rhythm of the music, because it changes a lot and there are no pauses between tracks so that the disk ends up sounding like a drama in the course of an hour, with six different movements if sometimes confusing. Suffice it to say that, but for an album that has a lot of improvised music, the ability to sustain Theynian Lord aggression and angry attitude throughout the recording and multiple episodes of melodic acoustic guitar, post-metal, black metal classic pulsed, loop orchestral music, piano interludes of calm and space environment is wonderful bizarre episode consistencia.El album is heard as a whole: there is so much variety listeners released almost all at once, however, and that can be a weak point that the music could pass as a spot on the head of many people and did not get the recognition they deserve. Probably the most important thing about this album is that most listeners will notice when they’re listening, and that is the ability and moderation Theynian Lord asked the structuring of the music here: with so many different genres can send, fixes everything for every style of music can be heard clearly and there is no exaggeration in any style. The result is an album of music varies done with taste and respect to other elements. Everything has a purpose here. I sort of wish that the good Lord had applied the same approach to its themes and characters, it is not that much of the current black metal, but perhaps this is something menor.Contacto: Art Productions MisanthropicEtiquetas: avant-rock, black metal , improvised rock, progressive
