Jute Gyte - Young Eagle [Jeshimoth Entertainment - 2010]Missouri based one man project Jute Gyte (aka Adam Kalmbach who runs Jeshimoth Entertainment and is in numerous other projects on the label) has tattled quite a few different sonic genres and sounds since the projects inception in 2006. Over the projects ten releases(six full lengths & four eps) the projects sound has moved from bleak ambience with noise blasts, onto all out noise walling, through to violently cut-up musique concrete, onto sinister IDM, through to bleak clunking mix of ambience and industrial tone….and beyond. “Young Eagle” finds the project squarely in the experimental black metal genre- this is the projects second foray into Black metal form; thier first was 2008’s “Old ways”- which by all accounts was a mixture of raw Black Metal, industrial noise, strange processing and broken structures. “Young Eagle” finds Kalmbach summoing up a great ‘n’ varied album that darts from grim and angular harmonic blacked riffing, to US indie turned black metal chugs. Onto to drops into discordant folk guitar pickings that sound like a grim and gone wrong version of Dinosaur Jn, through to moments of eerier and ghostly electronica synth texturing mixed with dreamy and grimly out of focus field recordings. The whole album managers a wonderfully balancing act between being grim and off-angle, memorable and head bang-able, surprising and atmospheric, and on the whole just a highly satisfying and grimly twisting blacked ride. Created over four years you can clearly hear that each and every element of every song on “ Young Eagle” has been worked-on, perfected and moulded so they work perfectly as stand alone great songs in there own rights, but also as a great twisting ‘n’ turning grim, brutal and atmospheric whole ride. Clearly “Young Eagle” is one of the most rewarding, revisit-able and wholly satisfying experimental black metal experiences in quite sometime.
