BLIGHT - Temple of Wounds [CD]
[First Print CD, 2020. - Svart Records - SVART238CD]
Vocals & Words (heavily borrowed from (h)Aurorae), by G. McCaughry [CEO of Anathema Publishing Ltd.]
Music by P. Pelletier, C. Deschamps, and R. Lapalme.
Artworks (on real human skull) by José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal (Author & Illustrator of Semesilam and IAO: Ophite Iconography).
“Enter the Temple of Wounds, unleashed from the clandestine Canadians, BLIGHT. Rising out of obscurity to share their violent, radical, and illuminating vision, Blight’s nine song new album is a 52-minute exercise in galvanizing, and relentless Luciferian Black Metal. Temple of Wounds will find a home within the ashen hearts of listeners of luminaries such as Behemoth, Marduk, and Gehenna (think Adimiron Black era), while also embracing the contemporary, underground zeal of bands such as Bölzer, <code>, Cobalt, Light of the Morning Star, and Craft.
Yet the sound that Blight shapes out of chaos and calamity is uniquely their own: grand choirs and fiery chants pepper the band’s powerful and dynamic approach to Black Metal, where claustrophobic, menacing riffs threaten to suffocate, percussive elements merge violence with technological prowess, and vocals are delivered with a cathartic intensity.
Blight’s lyrical themes explore deep facets of inner alchemical transmutation, which lends their music substantial literary weight. Temple of Wounds is allied with a higher intelligence, creating a state-of-the-art sound-war of Black Metal that is at once fresh and familiar, primitive, and epic in scope.”
