The Lunatic Creature, by AYYUR

The Lunatic Creature

by AYYUR

supported by

Zachary Gillan Tunisian black metal, mid tempo and a little droney. Compositionally it sort of feels like raw black metal but the spacious clarity of the production gives it an almost minimalist post punk vibe (although the bassist should write a strongly-worded letter to whoever mixed it). Fascinating stuff! Favorite track: The Outcast.

Artwood best release to come out from north africa probably.. Favorite track: The Lunatic Creature.

about

SRUIN071
Birthed at the very edge of the Mediterranean where the Western world and Europe die and dissolve leaving pace to an ancient and inscrutable frontier land of lost history and arcane mystery, Tunisian black metal enigma Ayyur re-surface after a lengthily slumber with "The Lunatic Creature", a new MLP of soul-tearing atmospheric black metal shrouded in malevolent mysticism and superbly impenetrable atmospheres. On this new offering the North African band is aided on drums by former Deathspell Omega vocalist Shaxul as they channel the remote and most unspeakable lore and darkest history of their land to summon a black metal specter of distant and magnificently wretched esotericism. With soaring mid-tempo progressions reminiscent of MGLA or Drudkh, dense and haunting atmospheres akin to those found in the most mystical fringe of atmospheric USBM, and moods of unparalleled hermetism and isolationism, Ayyur have distilled the very essence of their fringe and cast away existence cut away from the familiarity of the Western world to create a black metal construct of ghastly remoteness and of entrancing mysticism.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
