Our Take

Mountains Crave's latest release, "As We Were When We Were Not," is a journey through the depths of black metal with a hint of avant-garde weirdness that will leave you scratching your head in the best possible way. The band's fusion of atmospheric soundscapes, blast beats, and guttural screams creates a cacophony of chaos that is surprisingly cohesive.

From the opening track "Eternal Winter," you can feel the icy grip of the music taking hold of your senses, transporting you to a desolate, frostbitten landscape where the only solace is found in the relentless barrage of riffs and relentless drumming. The title track is a haunting anthem that captures the essence of existential dread with its haunting melodies and anguished vocals.

Throughout the album, Mountains Crave showcase their prowess as musicians, seamlessly blending elements of black metal with post-rock influences to create a sound that is both brutal and ethereal. Tracks like "Shadows of the Clouds" and "The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw" showcase the band's ability to create dynamic, captivating compositions that keep you on the edge of your seat.

"As We Were When We Were Not" is a challenging listen, but one that rewards those brave enough to venture into its dark depths. Mountains Crave have crafted a truly unique and compelling album that pushes the boundaries of black metal and leaves a lasting impression on the listener.
