What a perfect half an hour. GARHELENTH from Armenia releasing with “About Pessimistic Elements & Rebirth Of Tragedy” a brilliant second album on Satanath Records. Dirty and raw as fuck. Everything the title of this record stands for. Black Metal in its purest form. Cold guitars, bitter melodies and the stench of the 90s. GARHELENTH perfectly creating a hunting atmosphere with their soundscapes and songwriting style. They don’t go somewhere new here but they handle the old recipes so well, that it is interesting, varied and fresh. Typical screaming is mixed with growl parts and some spoken word. The sound is as raw as possible and very dark. Philosophy wise GARHELENTH deal with occultism, nature and historical themes. This record is defiantly something to check out if you into the old school darkness. For fans from RAVENCULT, SVARTTJERN, TSJUDER etc. Check: www.facebook.com/garhelenth, www.satanath.com
