Belonging to the first Spanish black metal wave, and to the Catalan movement known as Blackcelona, Blazemth are survivors of their time who continue to pay homage to the purest and most traditional black metal.
Now Volkhaar and company present ‘Gehenna‘, a new album that will be released on December 23 on CD, LP and digital thanks to the Negra Nit label.
Recorded and mixed by Eloi Boucherie (Vidres A La Sang, White Stones) at his Farm Of Sounds studio, the mastering has been done by another monster, Gerard Porqueres at Heartwork Recording.
The result is an organic and deep work that hits you with all the sincerity of their primordial black metal, an album that perfectly takes over from the also bloody ‘The Return Of Lucifer‘ (2022).
With a cover and artwork by Manda, ‘Gehenna‘ is eclectic without departing from the strictest black metal, presenting melodies that can remind you of Sweden or thrashing outbursts that relate it to Absu.
Besides, this beast shows several peculiarities…
For example, the intro of the first song, ‘Enok’, is written by Búfal (ReDimoni, Drakum, ex-Ktulu or Asgard) and sung in Serbian, while the second part of ‘Nifelheim’ also leaves English aside to use Norwegian.
As if that wasn’t enough, ‘To The Valley’ is a new and absolute reinterpretation of their classic ‘To The Valley Of Wind’s Master’, a track from their seminal EP ‘For Centuries Left Behind‘ (1995).
This Christmas will be blasphemous, because Blazemth will plunge us into the ‘Reign of Shadows‘ with a great album that lives up to their legacy.
