DECIPHER - θελημα
Transcending Obscurity Records
Back in 2023 I called this band the new kings of Greek Black Metal after hearing their debut full length Arcane Paths to Resurrection. That album was released on Transcending Obscurity Records. So here we are a few years later with their follow up. And I can honesly say I wasn't wrong years ago. DECIPHER's sothmore album is not only better than their debut but it's just a great Black Metal album.
Basically this band does have a respect for past Greek Black Metal greatness. But then they take that and add a lot to make a sound which is more dynamic as well as mandatory concentration. Yes there's harshness and also melody along with intricate playing. Of the seven cuts on here it's the longer ones like "The Black March" and "Hail Death" which put forth an overwelming listening experiece.There's also some Blackened Death on songs like "Seven Scars" and touches on other cuts.
I think the greatness of this release is in it's compositions which, all seven, are a listening pleasure. It's a perfect album which needs to be heard by all but especially those in that Black Metal repository of oldness.I keep on looking for the future of Black Metal. Here it is and it's harsh as fuck as well as beautiful.
