Our Take
Our Take
What in the bloody hell did I just listen to? ANCST's "Summits Of Despondency" is a chaotic cacophony of blackened crust punk that will leave you questioning your own sanity. From the moment the first track kicks in, you are thrust into a whirlwind of blast beats, screeching guitars, and guttural screams that make you feel like you're being dragged through the depths of hell itself.
But amidst all the chaos and noise, there is a strange beauty to be found in ANCST's madness. The band effortlessly weaves together elements of black metal, hardcore punk, and even a touch of post-rock to create a sound that is as captivating as it is unsettling. Tracks like "Dying Embers" and "Circles" showcase the band's ability to shift from blistering aggression to haunting introspection with ease.
While "Summits Of Despondency" may not be for the faint of heart, it is a testament to the power of music to push boundaries and defy expectations. ANCST have proven once again that they are not afraid to take risks and challenge the status quo, and for that, they deserve all the praise and recognition they can get. So go ahead, strap in, and prepare yourself for a wild ride through the twisted minds of ANCST. Just make sure you hold on tight, because it's going to be one hell of a journey.
