Carach Angren It is undoubtedly one of the bands that has had the most projection within the scene of the black metal with its sound conjugated between darkness and symphony, seasoned with a great dose of theatricality. The Dutch launched their latest work this year "Franckensteina Strataemontanus”Under the seal Season Of Mist. The album is clearly a conceptual album that tells us the story of this insane creature.

Music immediately transports you with the ticket "Here In German Woodland"To a path taken from some kind of movie"Sleepy hollow", To detonate without losing that background atmosphere the rumbling theme"Scourged Ghoul Undead“: A theme that you could imagine, evil trees sing to you in the middle of a haunted forest. We find below with the track namesake of the disc that opens with a mechanized and dirty sound that gradually gives way to a black farthest from the symphony and perhaps focused on some heavy cut of black industrial, of course with some profane choirs in between. "The Necromancer" Below is a somewhat linear theme and perhaps one of the weakest starts on this board, unlike "Sewn For Solitude”Which is one of the best cuts of this album with its nightmare violins that macabrely adorn a track full of speed and insanity, perfect to illustrate the part of the story in which the creature is unleashed, generating terror among those who cross his path.

Operation Compass resumes a little the rhythm rich in almost militarized percussions that then double when necessary; musical context that fits perfectly with that part of the story in which they want to tame and kidnap the beast, and whose response is reflected in Monster, a theme full of darkness and chaos in which you can easily imagine the necrotic face of the monster approaching you slowly. "Der Vampir Von Nurnberg" As its name implies, it seeks to convey the atmosphere of class and mysticism associated with these bloodsucking protagonists with constant changes in speed throughout the subject. "Skull With A Forked TongueIt sounds in effect that little by little we approach the outcome of the story, but musically it does not offer anything new or to stand out beyond being a common theme in the style of Carach Angren. A sinister but sweet keyboard opens "Like A Conscious Parasite I Roam ”, which takes you to the outcome of the play in an excellently elaborated way with all the symphonic-theatrical display that Carach Angren is able to offer.

Carach Angren

In conclusion we can say that the album is very good and allows you to easily delve into the narrative of the history of your creature. The themes are very well balanced and there are constant changes in the vertigo of each track, as it should be in every story. Carach Angren It continues to innovate without losing its style, and remains detached from the monotony that seems to embrace the genre today. A work that we would certainly like to see more than in a live concert, in a macabre theatrical musical.
