Ensepulchred - The Night Our Rituals Blackened The Stars [Autopsy Kitchen Records - 0000]

Ensepulchred make grim and noisy keyboard based Black metal, but don’t let the mention of keyboards make you run to the hills as everything here is so fuzzed and distorted to hell- there’s nothing close to commercial  black metal about it. It feels  like a cross breed between Burzum’s more keyboard laden moments, distorted 80’s synth horror sound track work with a few noise like  traces.

It claims to have guitar on it, but it’s so low mixed that most of the time your unsure if it’s there atall. The dominate prime evil forces here are keyboards, electronics and drums, which gives this quite a distinctive grim sound. Hats really must be taken off to the production as it sounds like it was recorded in a  dank crypt, then played back and  once more and recorded through a tinny stereo on its last legs. All giving great distorted banks of evil harmonics buzzing and twisting together the grim tones into a black soupy cold and grim sound. Add on top vocals that what sounds like GGFH  vocals gone Black metal, sudden eruptions of noisy matter and  crude atmospheric dwellings. All to make this an highly enjoyable shadowy and atmospheric grim  and brutal trip .

Really worth a look if you like any sort of mess up and fried black metal, or for that matter any corrupted synth work or noisy grimness. To find out more and hear sound samples walk this dark web corridor.
