"(...) This is the moment I began to believe, God is real… and he
hates us. (...) Salve Belial, Salve Valac, Salve Asmodai, Salve
Satan.(...)" NOCTEM | The Black Consecration |
THE BAND AND THE NEW ALBUM: Spanish black metallers Noctem are back with a new chapter in
their career entitled "The Black Consecration" which is without a
doubt the darkest in their history.Even the new album is just a logical step forwards from the band
previous work "Haeresis" there are allot changes to be noticed on the
band new piece which is the most atmospheric and raw piece of dark art
ever created by the band. The majority of the death metal elements used by
the band on previous records where left behind by a darker, faster and
unclean whole new black metal approach. Creating with it a true dark
abomination straight out of the blackest abyss!
Since the band formation back in April 2001 in Valencia (Spain)
Noctem have always been developing their sound, refusing stagnation, the
band has always brought something fresh within each of their new records,
starting with the Epic blackened death metal trilogy of "Divinity"
(The Epic), "Oblivion" (The Brute) and "Exilium" (The
Tempered) the band then advanced to "Haeresis" which was a whole new
experience of black death metal inspired by the infamous Spanish Inquisition
and all it's UNholy thematic. Musically speaking this has been probably the
rawest and blackest album that the band has unleashed to that date.
Following this devilish path, "The Black Consecration" is just a
logical consequence of the bands previous endeavours! Both brutal and
blaspheme!
Noctem aren't just another extreme metal band out there, their constant
sound evolution has caught the attention of promoters, media and fans
worldwide, allowing the band to tour with bands like Samael, Hate, Incantation, Gorgoroth, Marduk, Taake, Nargaroth,
Immolation among many others!
The production done by the band and label over Millenia Estudios in Valencia has given this
album an absolute whole new raw, dark and savage sound.
This is
an absolute new experience for Noctem adepts ears, both harsh and
obscure!
Talking about the whole "The Black Consecration" art which
is impressive let me tell you, has been created by Credo quia Absurdum
and it reflects at best the new album alchemic, esoteric and
enigmatic thematic. As usual, Noctem have enriched their work with great
looking obscure art!
TRACK-BY-TRACK:
"The Black Consecration" album takes it's listeners into a
brutal dark ride though the most archaic and direct black metal sound ever
created by the band! At first you may find it strange but after you listen
to it a couple of times, you'll notice that it gets deeper into your ears and you can't stop
listening to it! Something only possible on high quality extreme metal
creations done by experienced and talented musicians! Noctem are
undoubtedly a fine example of both (talent and experience)! "The Black Consecration" introduces the listeners to the renewed
sound and makes your heart pound with such cold blood fearsome black metal.
This is a vicious and fast track with Beleth amazing and improved
vocal dynamism which has yet enriched the whole album experience, making one
of his best performances ever and with it making Noctem to sound
darker and sinister than ever before... but yet don't fear, still it's easy
to trace the typical Noctem elements and identity... so don't think
the band has changed completely their sound! This is yet one of my favourite
tracks! "Sulphur" comes next! This is a brutally savage track, yet vicious
and sick! Out from the fetid darkest pits of hell this is one of the fastest
and scorching tracks of the whole piece! "Uprising Of The Impenitents" brings back some equilibrium to the
album, slower and decadent, this is in my opinion one of the best and most
balanced tracks of this black metal piece of art, simply love the melodic
classic guitar lead who brings a very own obscure Latin twist to the whole
piece a moment of darkest splendour among such pitch black atmosphere! This
is probably one of the most addictive tracks of the album too. "Coven" ignite back the fire and brimstone that this album got us
used to. A fast and agonising track that shall haunt your ears with such
primordial darkness! "All That Now Belongs To The Earth" is another fast track with some
slower decadent moments of pure black metal alchemy. "Let That Is Dead Sleep Forever" is in my opinion another of my
favourite tracks, this is a vicious addictive and incredibly fast song, an
arcane creation of measureless black magic! "Court Of The Dying Flesh" is another memorable epic track that will
hook you up since first listening, fast and brutal as much as you sure
desire, but yet ominous, deep and obscure! A twisted delight to the
tormented ears! "Dichotomy Of Malignancy" ends up this black metal priceless jewel
in a frenetic and aggressive way. Another direct and fast track for adepts of
musical extremity!
THE CONCLUSION:
"The Black Consecration" is without a doubt the darkest and
most brutal piece that the band
has presented to the date! Deeper into black metal essence but with a very
own Latin twist to it. Expect no softness on this razor sharp demonical
blade, this killer piece of black metal art will bring upon you the
scorching flames of hell!
Noctem have raised a beast of an album that
probably will please at the most the black metal adepts out there,
there are some slight death metal elements but clearly not taking so much
evidence as on the previous creations of the band! The new Noctem pestapocalyptical album clearly should not be missed by adepts of
cult bands such as Watain, Gorgoroth, Marduk,
Taake, Dark Funeral, Nargaroth, etc.
"The Black Consecration" is one of the best black metal offers for 2019
and probably one of the best Spanish black metal albums to the date! A clear proof of perseverance and a crowning of many years of extreme metal
excellence!
Deeper into the black arts than ever before... Noctem are
one of the most respected and requested Spanish extreme metal bands out
there!This new opus will surely take them beyond the gates of
recognition and across further black metal stages over the darkest metal
universe!
