Selbst - Relatos De Angustia


This is truly South American black metal at its finest. Selbst were originally a Venezuelan band who have since relocated to Chile. Their unique sound is the sort of aggressive, angular and demented stuff you might expect to hear out of the Northern European scene. However, here we are treated to six tracks of deafening fury driven by blasting rage and hateful anguish. on Relatos De Angustia Selbst take their sound one twisted step forward. It's hard not to be enamored with the gorgeous madness of what goes on here as the band continue to evolve.

There is a sense of existential torment on this record that serves to make Relatos De Angustia a mesmerizing listen. The depth of these tracks is impressive, in fact this is one of the most full realized south American black metal records that I have heard in a very long time. The sense of dynamics is excellent and the band seem ambitious to make their sound ever broader and more elegantly executed. The stellar production especially shines through on tracks like 'Sculpting The Dirtiness Of Existence' where interlocking guitars and powerful atmospherics work together to ensure one of the deepest tracks on the record.

Abrasive, hateful and wonderfully introspective this is a black metallers black metal record. It borrows from several key sides of the genre and sees the band trying to build on past successes. Relatos De Angustia is a powerful next step for Selbst. They have advanced their entire sound with this second full length. Suddenly the years have locked into place and Selbst have proven that they are a premier black metal export and definitely something to be spending time with. Relatos De Angustia is a thrilling listen, let's sink our teeth into it together.

  1. Thank you Thank You Very much Doctor Otonokpo for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am Cordelia Sandra from Brazil and i am putting this testimony here too because i want to share my testimony of how i was helped by Doctor Otonokpo within 48 hours of contacting him. Yes, it was last week my ex boyfriend returned to me after i contacted Doctor Otonokpo. My boyfriend was always going back to meet his ex girlfriend because he never really left her. Her name was Sophie. I didn't know how it happened one day after breakfast that i saw him looking at his ex girlfriend's picture on Facebook and I flared at him that he doesn't care about him and he was with me and still thinking about his ex although we have been dating for 6 months. He stormed at me and left the house and never returned. I was heartbroken and wanted him to come back. I was in a nightclub with friend one evening that I saw him with Sophie there, I was humiliated that night and I regretted going there only to see him there. I went online after some days and found Doctor Otonokpo and read about him and I contacted him to help me get him back. I must say that within 48 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and pleaded for leaving me. Is this how spell works so fast? Please, if you want help, contact Doctor Otonokpo too to help you at otonokpotemple@gmail.com
