CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT - Avernus LP (PRE)

(IN STOCK EARLY SEPTEMBER)

WEREWOLF RECORDS is proud to present CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT's highly anticipated second album, Avernus!

Now arrives CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT's first work with that six-headed lineup, Avernus. Thankfully, no great changes have been made in the band's regal attack here, but their power and professionalism have been amplified to a sterling degree. With Spellgoth's mesmerizing synths pushed to the fore, the grime of yore has yielded to a gleam that's equal parts ice palace, cosmic vortex, and magickal realm. That the riffing continually crests, with one haunting riff doled out after another and nightsky leads evoking wonder and wanderlust, further suggests magickal workings within CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT's still-expanding world.

The cauldron truly bubbles over and its astral mists swirl with Avernus' utterly majestic production: tangibly physical, most definitely organic, but polished to a grand & diabolical shine that's blinding to those with eyes to see. And if those eyes are indeed open, the thoughts that Realm of the Night evoked - that such an attack (regally) recalls lost classics of the late '90s, particularly those released by Necropolis Records or No Fashion - absolutely spill over across this album's deceptively epic 36 minutes. The past isn't alive because it never died...the secrets to those mysteries reside within CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT.
