Velvet Sorrow - Demo I CS
LC-07: Rising from the deepest crevices of Coryn's lair, an incense most foul permeates your nostrils and snares your soon-to-be corpse in a cloak of Velvet Sorrow...
An incantation crafted in secrecy and devotion to the true dark arts, these five spells are a fist in the face of the obnoxious swarm of today's half-assed "black metal" projects.
Ornate guitar melodies meld with brazen synth arrangements, flowing like rivers of blood into pit-worthy thrash riffs reinforced by heavy barrages of percussive artillery. While these songs are packed with vitriol, the aura of intense emotion is present, like a bitter poltergeist set on revenge. Raw yet refined, the recording seems as if it could have been completed any time between the 90s and the present.
Listeners will find it easy to draw connections to bands like Emperor, Obtained Enslavement, Rotting Christ, with much reverence to progenitors such as Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost, and Slayer.
A similar sonic palate to contemporary artists like Black Cilice and Sanguine Relic, this demo has something for all.
