Asagraum It is a project of Black metal femenino de origen holandés, que sorprendió a todos cuando lanzó su disco debut “Potestas Magicum Diaboli” apenas hace 2 años por su gran calidad y el poder del álbum completo en si. Es por ello que las expectativas con su segundo trabajo de larga duración titulado “Dawn Of Infinite Fire” released on September 13, 2019 they were quite high.
The album opens with speed and you immediately feel the power of the band. ” They Crawl from the Broken Circle “ it's a machine gun from Black metal old school with moments of truth heavy and fast added to the characteristic choruses of the genre. ” The Lightless Inferno “ It is a much more orchestral and less visceral piece than its predecessor, but without losing an iota of evil or power. “Abomination´s Altar” which is actually the first single released, it has that heavy, bouncing sound of type bands Carpathian Forest that make you move your cervicals from top to bottom. The album so far seems like a journey through the different styles that the Black metal has had throughout its history. “Guahaihoque” For its part, it is a piece with a more commercial and digestible sound, but it is not bad for that.
Llegamos a la mitad del disco y encontramos un tema saturado y bastante ruidoso en “Dawn Of Infinite Fire“, para luego volver a sentirnos en el Black metal clásico de los años noventa con “ Dochters Van De Zwarte Vlam “. “Beyond the Black Vortex” is the longest running song on the board and is a track que te hace navegar por atmósferas sonoras oscuras y densas, que de la nada aceleran en potentes ritmos para luego regresar a una macabra pseudo-calma. ” Hate of Satan’s Hammer” como su nombre lo dice, literal es una tonada llena de odio y que suena como un martillo que golpea tu cráneo a gran velocidad. El disco cierra con ” Waar ik ben komt from dood“, un tema perfectamente elegido como cierre, en donde la alternancia de voces limpias y las clásicas guturales nos demuestra que Asagraum goes beyond just creating the characteristic infernal noise of Black metal.
In summary, “Dawn Of Infinite Fire” It is a great job that more than meets the expectations of the return of the Dutch. It is a record that is not monotonous at any time - what in the Black metal counts as a great achievement-, and which also has tremendous strength and musical and vocal power in all its tracks. A tribute to Black metal classic but at the same time with that touch of freshness that only the girls of Asagraum they know how to print you.
