Primordial Arcana combines the band’s better features into one, defining release.
They sound fresher and more creative than ever. The Weaver brothers are finally venturing out of the underground and up into the light.
Primordial Arcana is an example of a band not only matching up to their established greatness, but far exceeding it.
The record is a call to adventure, and like fantasy stories promising transformation and reward, it’s worth the undertaking.
For the first time in years, the band seem more concerned with mortal matters than transcending into more lofty, atmospheric realms.
Not really a huge black metal fan tbh, but i really enjoyed this album. It has very lowkey production, but the melodies and instrumentals work well together while the vocals serve almost as atmosphere rather than being the forefront of the song as a whole. An interesting choice, and one im 100% on board with.
Pretty chilling black metal but lacks that punch and unique style that we usually hear
WITTR deliver their best album since Celestite through a series of straight to the point atmospheric black metal. It’s not reinventing the wheel but is without question delivering fun and visceral black metal tunes.
