Today, Purity Through
Fire announces November 4th as
the international release date for Licht des Urteils'
highly anticipated debut album, Uhraamo, on
CD format. The vinyl LP version will follow next year.
Hailing from Tampere, Finland, Licht des Urteils emerged
in 2019 with their first demo, later released on tape by Worship Tapes. Since
then, the band have taken to the stage and sharpened their attack, which is
simultaneously idiomatic and defiant
of traditional Finnish black metal. A reconfigured lineup finalized itself in
2020, with the resultant full-length Uhraamo being
the first recorded document of this lineup.
Ghastly and gutted, Uhraamo is
pure filth shotgunned into the stratosphere. Heaving and hammering is Licht des Urteils' surge here,
with savage low-end anchoring riffing that ably splits the difference between
rusty chainsaw and cursed nightsky. Indeed, it's that very real sense of
physicality - as in a real band,
playing together as one, rather than pieces cut & pasted with a computer -
that ever-present DANGER, which renders Uhraamo such
a compelling listen. It's pure & proud BLACK METAL, to be sure, but the
songwriting's nothing short of electrifying and the production's powerful and
punishing: simple pleasures, but sublime ones. And the hysteria only
intensifies as the album plays on...
Finnish black metal is surely in no short supply, but only the nastiest banners
are united under Purity Through
Fire. For those who dig among
the dungeons for the late/great likes of Impious Havoc, Vitsaus, Catenatum
Lucem, and the short-lived Syöpä, then Licht des Urteils' Uhraamo is mandatory
listening.
