Finnish black metal-band Ordinance did not set themselves an easy task when they wrote their latest LP ‘In Purge there is no Remission’. It’s an album that feels like a lot of other material out there – namely the Icelandic style of dissonance and atmosphere in equal measure, and more on the nose black metal in the tradition of ‘De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas’ – and yet this is it its own beast. Ordinance pull the music back into a tight, focused black metal-recording that feels familiar, yet fresh. This is a feat that is somehow harder to pull off than purer forms of originality, even if the results are found wanting in places.
