Imagine a 1970s prog-rock band that accidentally summoned a demon during a recording session. The music is defined by its heavy use of vintage organ and synthesizers, creating a lush, almost disco-inflected psychedelic backdrop that contrasts sharply with harsh, blackened vocals. It is catchy yet unsettling, blending major-key melodies with a pervasive sense of dread.
What truly sets them apart is the 'magick metal' sound: a specific intersection of lo-fi production, shimmering synth-pop sensibilities, and the aggressive aesthetic of extreme metal. It feels like a lost VHS tape of a cult ritual, balancing kitschy retro-futurism with genuine sonic malice. The songs often feature anthemic choruses that you might find yourself humming, despite the murky, reverb-drenched mix.
Start with 'Spectral Ecstasy' to experience their most refined balance of melody and occult atmosphere. It captures the essence of their transition from raw black metal roots into a more expansive, keyboard-driven psychedelic entity that defies easy categorization.
