  ::      There is a fine line between so-called "raw" black metal         ::
  ::      and, with the greatest of respect, unlistenable horseshit. A     ::
  ::      direct descendant of DARKTHRONE's ruthlessly lo-fi "Under A      ::
  ::      Funeral Moon", this subgenre often has a strong whiff of The     ::
  ::      Emperor's New Clothes about it, and yet all the cynicism in      ::
  ::      the world can't undermine the fact that IRAE are very much       ::
  ::      the real deal. Wildly prolific and resolutely immune to the      ::
  ::      lure of modern technology, the Portuguese enigma has done        ::
  ::      wonders for his native underground scene and, via albums         ::
  ::      like 2020's "Lurking in the Depths", he has presented some       ::
  ::      pretty convincing evidence that music this primitive and         ::
  ::      abrasive can wield great power.                                  ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      Only the fifth full-length IRAE album in 20 years (this guy      ::
  ::      loves a split release),  "Assim na Terra como no Inferno" is     ::
  ::      arguably too sonically full to truly be regarded as raw          ::
  ::      black metal, but opener "V Caminhv Primitiv" is an untamed       ::
  ::      blur of distortion and cavernous echo, nonetheless. IRAE's       ::
  ::      humbly stated debt to second wave black metal is written         ::
  ::      through every riff here, and the melodies cut through the        ::
  ::      clangor from the start, elevating an otherwise impenetrable      ::
  ::      din into otherworldly realms. The noise-to-riffs ratio leans     ::
  ::      defiantly one way on "Pvr Tempvz de DecadΩnzia", wherein a       ::
  ::      droning, two-note riff underpins a whole shit-ton of             ::
  ::      freeform cacophony. "Relφqvia de Espinhvz" is crazier still:     ::
  ::      at times, the music disappears completely, leaving only a        ::
  ::      menacing haze of hisses and howls. As the demented fog           ::
  ::      clears, however, spiraling melodic motifs and ramshackle         ::
  ::      blastbeats emerge to form something more familiar, but no        ::
  ::      less disorientating.                                             ::
  ::                                                                       ::
  ::      There is method in IRAE's madness, never clearer than on         ::
  ::      "Simbolos do ImpΘrio". A straightforwardly great black metal     ::
  ::      song, with a near-chewable sense of the epic, it sidesteps       ::
  ::      the rest of the album's artful ugliness and hits harder as a     ::
  ::      result. The closing "Enforcamento" is similarly unencumbered     ::
  ::      by experimental mischief and ends with a particularly            ::
  ::      mesmerizing and profoundly melancholy melody: further proof      ::
  ::      of IRAE's ambiguous relationship with underground purity.        ::
  ::      Whatever it is that's going on here, it transcends the "raw"     ::
  ::      tag with ease, and sounds like a strong addition to a            ::
  ::      rapidly expanding legacy. ParabΘns!                              ::
