Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Golden Ashes, what can we say about this enigmatic project from mysterious mastermind James "Shun the Crown" Button? A Lightless Christ Shuns The Crown Of Divinity is a daring exploration into the darkest depths of ambient black metal, blending shimmering melodies with unsettling atmosphere to create a truly hypnotic listening experience.
From the haunting opener "Veil of Unknowing" to the epic crescendo of "Burial at the Mouth of God," Golden Ashes takes us on a journey through the shadows of the soul, each track building upon the last to create a cohesive and immersive sonic landscape. Button's mastery of sound design is evident throughout, with layers of distortion and feedback intertwining to create a cacophony of noise that somehow manages to be both off-putting and strangely beautiful.
But what truly sets A Lightless Christ apart is its underlying sense of wit and irony. Button playfully subverts black metal tropes, infusing his music with a healthy dose of self-awareness and humour that is both refreshing and disarming. It's as if he's daring us to take him too seriously, inviting us to join him in his darkly comic descent into madness.
In the end, A Lightless Christ Shuns The Crown Of Divinity is a triumph of creativity and originality, a bold statement from an artist unafraid to push the boundaries of his genre. Golden Ashes may shun the crown, but there's no denying that Button is a king in his own right.
