Beyond The Palest Star
by VORGA

From the first riffs and notes you are entranced by the majestic power of VORGA. Beyond The Palest Star is among the best black metal albums of this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it lands at the top for a lot of fans. Get out of their way; album three will no doubt be pantheon level for the genre. The growth from the last release is quite substantial. Cosmic Judgement comes for you!

A captivating combination of genres – essentially proggy death metal. A seamless 60 minutes full of musical ideas. A little noodly at times, but I enjoy the clean guitar work. Lyrically, it sits somewhere between nihilism and humanism – anti-religion, but more broadly institutional than the typical metal fare. There's a relish to the violence against women imagery in "Slave" which I don't enjoy, but on the whole this album stands up to scrutiny from most directions. Certainly not run of the mill

Pretty sure this is a concept album. Can't decide enough of the lyrics to be sure, but the song titles sure make it seem that way. Regardless, the thing fucking slaps. Dig the tone, the riffage, the general vibe: the fact that ASHEN HORDE understand the concepts like 'pacing' and 'build' (a lost art in our time). All around winner, regular rotation material.
