Album SELBST do odsłuchu

 

"There's torment in this unconventional Black Metal too, in the tension that coils within the rapidly whirring guitar and in the hammering drive of the drums. Much darker and more depressive moods come forth in a wailing melody whose chime-like and dream-like tones contrast with the scalding intensity of the vocals, the bursts of percussive riot, and the marrow-deep bass throb." (No Clean Singing)

Prior to its official release on April 19th, Latin American Black Metal project SELBST reveals a complete stream of next-level new album "Despondency Chord Progressions". The band's third offering consists of seven tracks, each one a riveting expression of fresh, focused and fervent Black Metal. The album enhances the band's trademark passionate and 'dissonant' sound with added layers of complex depth, increased melodicism and elevated songwriting acumen.

SELBST was formed 2010 in Venezuela by multi-instrumentalist/lyricist N and vocalist Frozen, releasing their initial demo "Veritas Filia Temporis" shortly afterwards. In 2016 N moved to Chile to search out new collaborators and opportunities. The resultant self-titled full-length, featuring vocals by N. Onfray of ANIMUS MORTIS, was released in 2017 to great underground acclaim.

In 2018 N became SELBST's lead vocalist and the project turned into a fully-fledged live band, taking to the stage for the first time as the next step of their evolution. The band unleashed second album, "Relatos de Angustia", in 2020 – a universally praised, deep and challenging record which rewarded repeat listens.

SELBST subsequently honed their artistry and the band's evolution into a formidable live act was marked by the 2023 digital release of live album, "Vortex Of Anguish And Death".

As SELBST reaches its 14th year, visionary N is now poised to reveal the band's third and most compelling album yet. Titled "Despondency Chord Progressions," this landmark release will emerge on April 19th through Debemur Morti Productions and further refines the intricate, shadowy depths of their already sophisticated sound.
