Déhà released a one-off melodic black metal album.
I responded like a rational adult:
By spiralling into hyperfocus and writing a small novel about it.
Original English review of Déhà’s funeral doom masterpiece “Nethermost & Absolute Comfort.” First published in German on Stormbringer.at — now restored to its raw, emotional form.
A synth-soaked black metal carnival of xylophones, haunted landlines, and pure gremlin chaos. A New Generation of Vampiric Conspiracies is unhinged — and I love it.
The album that made black metal bombastic — Enthrone Darkness Triumphant turned Dimmu Borgir into symphonic monsters, and I loved every melodramatic second of it.
My gateway into full corpse paint mode — Midian is Cradle of Filth at their dramatic, unhinged best. Gothic horror meets blastbeats, and I still haven’t recovered.
