COSMIC CHURCH - Tayttymys
Kuunpalvelus
Luxixul Sumering Auter, the crimson cloaked multi-instrumentalist / vocalist behind Finland's COSMIC CHURCH, has been exploring the boundaries of black metal since the mid-2000s. Over all of these years he's been nothing but prolific putting out various releases both long form as well as short. Tayttymys is his latest full length, his third overall and final.
The last COSMIC CHURCH full length is atmospheric black metal which can be majestic sounding as well as adding some harsh dissonance. Overall the music on here comes across more like a springtime roar than a wintry hiss. Auter uses synths as the major instrument to create the airy melodies. Then adds the other instruments to fill gaps and create rhythmic patterns. Amazing enough one doesn't overwhelm the other.
Since I never heard all of the COSMIC CHURCH releases (I do know them only as being on a few split releases I purchased because of the other band or in one case bands) I'm at a loss on comparisons to their whole career spanning sound. Now as far as this goes it reminds me a bit like Hungary's MARBLEBOG who also called it quits years ago. It's that total trance inducing black metal feeling. Not sleep inducing at all, this is a ritual. A great way to end it all.
