While black metal is among the harshest forms of music there are certain albums that offer kind of a fragile beauty that most other sub-genres cannot offer. Their debut “Esse Est Percipi” is a carefully crafted piece of art, combining some straight-forward riffing with a lot of lofty and beautiful motifs. In case you like your black metal to me on the emotional side of things look no further and go and get a copy of this.

Deeply atmospheric, Autumn Nostalgie use the black metal basics we’re all familiar with to create emotive music, weaving extensive moods and blackened tapestries with ease. The songs here are richly textured with nuance and subtlety, even when things got more aggressive and straight to the point. Classic tremolo runs and melody rub shoulders with tasteful synths and longer acoustic sections, with the overall songwriting combining all those things to one wonderful piece of art.
