Xalpen - MLP III-Cover-WEB.jpg

The intro is absolutely terrifying, bringing elements of darkness and decay right to the fore. Kay Taw continues down this terrifying route with the bass and guitars brawling into life and producing some absolutely insane mesh of lyrics and grit. Ten Hashpen is a snarling monster and done in classic black metal style. Shwaken comes barrelling out with grit and monstrosity.

Chant to Xosh is a discordant mesh of melodies and rage. Oculus Australis is a monster, filled with grit and determination it builds on melodies and darkness. The Barn Owl finishes things off with softness and anger.

The album is out on 13th September via Morbid Skull Records.
