Today, Purity Through
Fire announces February 27th as
the international release date for the striking second album of Norway's Unholy Craft, Naar All Tid er Omme, on CD format.
The vinyl version will follow later this year, as will the band's chronological
debut album via different underground labels.
Unholy Craft is the work
of one Peregrinus, whose concurrent Solus Grief is
newly initiated into the Purity Through
Fire cult. Indeed, Unholy Craft play
traditional, CULT black metal from ancient Scandinavia, taking influence from
the obvious - Darkthrone's Peaceville trilogy, Hat-fronted Gorgoroth, the first
Ancient album - to, more so, the very cult likes of Kvist, Sorhin, and
Fimbulwinter. As such, the band's Naar All Tid er Omme debut
is a veritable blast from the past, but one thankfully exuding personality and
a freshness of approach.
For one, Peregrinus' fully physical execution maintains a more blown-out
rawness in line with the modern raw black metal scene. But, for another, that
rawness doesn't mask a lack of ability. Far from it, actually: the mainman
exudes equal skill on all instruments and puts those enviable chops to use
across songwriting that keeps it traditional and yet puts interesting,
almost-deviant twists to it along the way. In that sense, Unholy Craft's craft honors
second-wave black metal's initial unorthodoxy, when most of its earliest bands
each maintained their own approach - when the future lay wide open, as it were.
That's in the past now, but Naar All Tid er Omme resurrects
those glorious times with magickal ease and elan. Unholy Craft are coming to
a church near you!
