Amor Fati is quickly becoming the primary spawning ground for consistently putting out spirit inducing black metal that is simultaneously straddling the fine line of traditional and forward-thinking—And within a genre as worn out and tired as black metal has become since the late 90's, its a welcomed effort. Not to imply that black metal has gotten worse since its stave church burning days, I think that would be fatalistic and lazy to say, but it absolutely has become an over-saturated genre that's tripping over its own feet trying to rip off early Mayhem riffs and chasing clout.
That being said,
Nocturnal Triumph's newest album came out a few days ago and it's right on the fucking money—Rife with a reverberating energy and a whole fjords worth of cold as hell riffs against a barrage of tightly produced black metal drumming. Mixed exactly right. The overall mix isn't quite blown-out enough to be lo-fi, but it's raw and foaming with a war chest full of compelling riffs.
