Nightbringer, Lightbringer [LP Red Vinyl]

Archgoat – Nightbringer, Lightbringer [LP Red Vinyl]

Now in their 37th year of blasphemous brutality, Finnish Black Metal iconoclasts ARCHGOAT remain one of the most single-minded and relentlessly visceral bands in extreme music.

New album “Nightbringer, Lightbringer” once again taps into the guts of ancient evil to unearth a noxious stench of horror. Undiminished and eternal, the band’s patented synthesis of mystical first wave Black/Death Metal, Punk hostility, primal Thrash and bestial Grindcore is destructive as ever in its magickal raw power.

This time around a slightly less-dank production ensures each putrid note is assimilated and felt. Mind-altering atmospherics and cryptic synth embellishments remain a feature, with some grandly melodic leads and – gasp – lower gain arpeggios in place for fleeting relief before the returning waves of pummelling satanic violence.

Genre: Black Metal, Death Metal.
