Winterfylleth are back with their first new album in 4 years, and as one might expect, it rules. The band has once more delivered on their brand of surprisingly thoughtful, but still blistering and unrelenting black metal. The Imperious Horizon is a worthy addition to the Winterfylleth canon and seems to only drive forward in the bands quest to create some of the most compelling underground music to have emerged from the UK in the last decade. Nearly twenty years into their career, Winterfylleth have proven that they are still among the best to ever do it.
There has always been something transcendent about Winterfylleth. (And if we're being honest, the entire family of bands they are associated with.) There is a potent sonic poetry to the soaring guitars of the title track, and the synth backings that pad out the record. The Imperious Horizon is an album you can really get lost in. Almost every song is an engrossing multi part epic benefiting from the inimitable production and mixing of Chris Fielding. The end result is a record that you find yourself getting wholly lost in, a record that shines bright and which will leave listeners in awe of what Winterfylleth have accomplished here.
Some bands are just a head and shoulder above their peers. Winterfylleth is one such band. There is an elegance to their sound that nicely counterbalances the blast beats and tremolo picking that drives many moments in the music. It's hard not to be entranced with the largesse and scope of The Imperious Horizon. Certain black metal records are meant to stay underground, this is a record that I could see appealing to the masses, even those not used to the vagaries of black metal. This is a one of a kind project and one I see myself coming back too a lot over the years. You need it when it drops September 13th.
