From their shadowy beginnings in 2017, Portugal's VO╦MMR have continued to
be enigmas in a Portuguese black metal scene already possessing plenty of
enigmas. Much of that enigma status hinges on the Aldebaran Circle, which
includes the esteemed likes of GINNUNGAGAP, TRONO AL╔M MORTE, and ORDEM
SATANICA, but VO╦MMR's inclusion is nevertheless crucial. They proved that
status with their full-length Nox Maledictus their very year of emerging
from the void, but it's the band's successive recordings which proved how
haunting and harrowing black metal could be.
That all blossomed in earnest with 2018's Sombr Moebrd demo, which starts
off the new collection Negras sess⌡es no abismo sul. Rarely has organ-led
black metal been this spectral and shimmering whilst portending horrific
ideas from beyond the shade...indeed, the three-song recording sounds like
the work of ghosts. On the second half of Negras sess⌡es no abismo sul is
the VO╦MMR's most recent demo, Tordaebr Odr Daebr. Released in that cursed
year of 2020, the four-song recording maintains that magickal &
malnourished sound which they've made their own - and, it must be said,
whilst continuing the cryptic dialect created by legendary French forebears
Belketre - but pushing the dichotomy of beautiful / eerie to further, more
perverse extremes.
Calming before the dread sets in, Negras sess⌡es no abismo sul is a timely
reminder of VO╦MMR's still-considerable powers, as they prepare to play
this year's SIGNAL REX-curated Invicta Requiem Mass and next year's Howls
Of Winter fest in Estonia.
