Abominable Astral Summoning [CD]

Imperial Crystalline Entombment I.C.E - Abominable Astral Summoning [CD]

After delivering the triumphant 2023 affirmation that they are ''... still fucking I.C.E.!'' via 20-year-awaited second album ''Ancient Glacial Resurgence'', the inimitable battalion strikes immediately again with another shattering full-length of mystical Black Metal savagery. The third revelation from IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT is the latest apocalyptic statement from a legion once seemingly cryogenically frozen in time - advancing their legacy in a hostile whirlwind of compulsive new paeans to the ancient anti-God Ravaskieth. On ''Abominable Astral Summoning'' the band strikes more cold-blooded and barbarous than ever. The still-addictive songwriting leans further into evil obscurity, the percussive battering - now more texturally organic - airtight and hypnotic. The accelerated tremolos dial up the epicness, with the uniformly exceptional riffing skewed and dynamically varied to counterbalance the familiar whiteout intensity. TRACKLIST: 1.
