Abhoria - Abhoria

While rooted in the more brutal side of black metal, the album blends the requisite blast beats and tremolo picked guitars with many melodic passages, doom-inspired detours and a variety of tempos. While 'Mountebank' is a relentless blitz of high-speed black metal, closing track 'Sunless' is a seven-minute epic that incorporates mid-paced, atmospheric grooves and clean vocals. Though the energy never relents, the album is not relentless.
