Singiel ISENBLÅST

 

On January 12th, 2027 internationally, W.T.C. Productions is proud to present Isenblåst's highly anticipated second album, Destructing the Constraints of Time, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

One of American black metal's best-kept secrets, Detroit's Isenblåst have been patiently honing their sound since 2009. Myriad demos and EPs followed during their first decade of existence, before the arrival of their Screams in Cold Silence debut album in 2017. Rough-hewn but brimming with demonic magick, Isenblåst's first full-length surely showed the riff sorcery they were capable of, reconfiguring second-wave revivalism in a manner most imaginative.

While occasional live shows happened in the interim, Isenblåst largely remained in the shadows, preparing their second album. At last is it here, bearing the telltale title Destructing the Constraints of Time. Thankfully, no great changes have been made to their sound, but both songwriting and execution have been sharpened to a superlative degree. The riff sorcery of their no-less-considerable debut LP is brought to a boil on Destructing the Constraints of Time: simultaneously majestic and malevolent, each riff flies fast and free, shifting gears - and often - with a diabolism that simply needs to be witnessed. And yet, for all their busyness, Isenblåst keep the surge primal, powerful, ever-present; be it blizzard, tornado, or monsoon, element force stuns the listener into mesmerized submission. Compared to their debut album, this second one features a prominence of lead-work whereby lines seemingly rise from the ripping maelstrom and take on a narrative life all their own. Most of all, the band's sonic identity has solidified and intensified; where '90s Nifelheim took mid-'80s South American influences and stirred the Scandinavian black metal cauldron, Isenblåst similarly make a parallel move of melding Sorhin with Peru's Mortem. Indeed, Destructing the Constraints of Time is that fucking good.
