:: ::
:: Raw Black Metal from Australia ::
:: ::
:: Looking downcast and depressed rather than jolly on the front ::
:: cover of "Cathartic Sorrow", the third album from raw metal act ::
:: Jacc, the swaggie in his bush isolation sure isn't inviting you ::
:: to listen to the music here at all. "Cathartic Sorrow" ::
:: initially seems angrier and more furious than sorrowful but ::
:: repeated spins will reveal the anguish and fear in the singing. ::
:: Opening track "Sempiter Masthur" explodes in a burst of raw ::
:: vocal rage, rapid-fire drumming and frizzly noise guitar cloud ::
:: that quickly settle down into a steady groove of repeating ::
:: riffs and beats, while retaining a bristling edge and that ::
:: hoarse howling voice. The atmosphere has a corrosive feel that ::
:: any minute might become painful and even bleed, and the mood is ::
:: definitely very depressive. Things perk up a bit with the ::
:: second track "encapsula neurotte" which has a more defined if ::
:: angular and ominous riff structure and a higher energy level. ::
:: While the snarling and roaring still go on, "encapsula à" ::
:: stamps a much darker atmosphere with dissonant fuzzy guitar ::
:: melodies, a swanky rhythm and a sense of everything coming ::
:: close to falling off a cliff into a bottomless abyss. In the ::
:: second part of the track a dejected riff bleeds out of the ::
:: constant roiling noise chaos and for a moment we glimpse the ::
:: ongoing agony behind the vocals and the distant shouting ::
:: beneath the noise and background frazzle. ::
:: ::
:: Though the music starts out as blackened noise, it has some ::
:: melodic death / doom metal elements in the vocals, atmospheres ::
:: and song structures, and there are melodic post-metal elements ::
:: in the clean lead guitar solos that appear in tracks like ::
:: "irresp unundt aereth" and "acertinate eradicaat". The Jacc ::
:: project isn't above inserting samples of found sound and dark ::
:: ambience into songs to inject something much bleaker and more ::
:: hopeless into the music. As we go further into the album, we go ::
:: much, much deeper into realms where directions become ::
:: meaningless, and we become trapped and threatened with madness ::
:: by our own inaction û because we do not know where to go. All ::
:: around us in the dark the voices of the mad circle amid ::
:: pounding percussion and relentless noisy riffs and their lead ::
:: guitar embellishments. Generally, all the instruments and the ::
:: vocals proceed together very closely with few deviations from ::
:: the main riffs; with dissonant guitar chords and key changes, ::
:: this type of song-writing produces a sinister and intense sound ::
:: experience with "obitus personificatem" being its outstanding ::
:: example. Songs can yield unexpected surprise changes in ::
:: riffing, rhythm and ambience very late, often within the last ::
:: 60 seconds before they end, making for an even more complex and ::
:: demanding listening experience. The album goes out in a ::
:: near-formless storm of guitar cloud noise in "kotorous ruinus ::
:: anhedonis". ::
