For their fourth release, the German band DEPRAVATION delivers a powerful blow. While rooted in black metal, their sound occasionally embraces crustcore elements and hyper-speed sludge, all infused with deep suffering, darkness, and aggression. In short, DEPRAVATION delivers a punishing experience while injecting a heavy dose of subdued melancholy. This is modern black metal that avoids childishness and adolescent themes, making this album worthy of your attention.
For fans of REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER, CELESTE, TRAP THEM, and HIEROPHANT.
