Our Take
Our Take
Stumbling out of the depths of the underground metal scene comes BLACK ALTAR's latest offering, "Arcana Of The Higher Principles." This album is a swirling maelstrom of blackened riffs and occult vibes that will have you headbanging one moment and summoning demons the next.
From the opening track, "Invocation of the Dark Gods," it's clear that BLACK ALTAR are not messing around. The guitars are razor-sharp, the drums thunderous, and the vocals sound like they're being channeled from the depths of hell itself. It's the kind of music that makes you want to throw up the horns and scream "Hail Satan" at the top of your lungs.
But don't let the darkness fool you - there's a surprising amount of melody and nuance hidden beneath the layers of distortion and aggression. Tracks like "Beyond the Veil of Death" and "Ritualistic Sacrifice" showcase the band's ability to weave intricate harmonies and complex rhythms into their blackened tapestry.
Overall, "Arcana Of The Higher Principles" is a tour de force of black metal mastery. It's the kind of album that will leave you feeling exhilarated, terrified, and strangely invigorated all at once. So grab your pentagram, light some candles, and prepare to be taken on a journey to the darkest corners of the netherworld. This album is not for the faint of heart, but for those brave enough to plunge into the abyss, it is a truly rewarding experience.

About the artist
Black Altar
BLACK ALTAR, the enigmatic duo hailing from the misty moors of Yorkshire, are causing quite a stir in the music scene with their unique blend of black metal and psychedelic rock. Comprised of frontman Cerberus Black and guitarist Medusa Obscura, this dynamic duo has been described as a sonic force to be reckoned with. With their face-melting guitar riffs, thunderous drum beats, and haunting vocals, BLACK ALTAR takes the listener on a journey through the dark corners of the human psyche. Their music is raw, visceral, and unapologetically intense, drawing inspiration from the likes of Mayhem, Electric Wizard, and Black Sabbath. But don't be fooled by their dark and brooding image – BLACK ALTAR have a wicked sense of humour that is evident in their lyrics and stage presence. Their live shows are a spectacle to behold, with Cerberus Black's mesmerising stage presence and Medusa Obscura's blistering guitar solos leaving audiences in awe. Despite their relatively short time in the industry, BLACK ALTAR have already garnered a loyal following and critical acclaim from music critics across the globe. With their debut album set to drop later this year, the buzz surrounding BLACK ALTAR shows no sign of slowing down. So, if you're looking for a music experience that is equal parts head-banging and mind-bending, look no further than BLACK ALTAR. These Yorkshire lads are here to shake up the music scene and leave a trail of destruction in their wake – and we can't wait to see what they do next.
