I am a band that I like to work calmly, the Nachash, away from the spotlight (underground) and without particular interests to spread their name within the scene, as if the intent was to challenge the most attentive listeners and receptive to discover its deeds in a market now stressed by the new releases and the logic of the Hype.
Since 2011, in fact, Oslo's trio has only been the protagonist of a demo, an EP and two full-length (including this “Eschaton Magicks”, out for the Portuguese Signal Rex), for a policy of the small steps which, however He continues to guarantee his music a remarkable thickness and an exquisitely out of time cut, starting from flat bases and then launching to the adventure in more tortuous paths that do not make it so easy to liquidate everything as yet another nostalgic operation and rètro.
Stilistically, ours can be traced back to that Norwegian cauldron who in the last decades has given birth to people such as Nekromantheon, Obliterazion and Reptilian, and-similarly to their compatriots-approach the Old-School matter having the impact to heart and that the research, the exploration of shady channels in which to enhance its restless emotion, for a flow capable of ghermire rapaciously, enhancing the percussive and poisonous soul of the guitar work, as to wrap with a more compassionate touch, between epic and finesse.
Music that draws from a significant number of sources and that we could bring back to the size of a Heavy Metal with extreme and caliginous colors, with the echo of certain eighties to resonate on a scenario full of depressions, slopes and pianors, whose revenge reports To the mind many different experiences – be they black, death or thrash – without however reminding anyone.
So it happens that a slanderous parenthesis in the smell of first Varathron (such as the incipit of “Stygian Nightmare”) gives way to a solution that would not have disfigured on an “Eternal Devastation”, or that a proto-death aggression is suddenly furrowed From Arpeggi and Melodie Classic Metal, in the sign of a changeability that soon becomes synonymous with spontaneity in the mixture of the various influences.
An incendere only apparently simple, also given the continuous oscillations of the register and atmosphere and the duration of the individual songs, and which leads the project to take a significant step towards that authority and that excellence expressed by the authors of “Cenotaph Obscure” And “Vision of Trismegistos”, although not yet lapped the aforementioned ingenuity and giving the impression that something, in terms of effectiveness of the structures, can enjoy a further focus, with some slightly less fluid and pressing passages of others.
The road, however,, after the debut already the “Phantasmal Triunity” debut of 2018 had shone, is again the right one, for a disc that has the great merit of growing with time and reinterpreting the notorious 'already felt' with taste and spirit of discovery.
