"Lammendam" CD by Carach Angren

The technically adept Trio Infernale specializes in strikingly vampiric and morbidly dark romantic symphonic melodic black metal. 'Lammendam' is a concept album that relies heavily on sonically powerful tension arcs, and the trio has put in immeasurable effort to create a diverse range of moods. It is therefore not surprising that Carach Angren dedicated themselves to all the horror components of their current ghostly work. Darkly enchanted piano-like key conTourings, often unrealistically distorted elegance, create various chilling and oppressive visual images in the mind's eye of the listener. As is typical for this uniquely alloyed type of black steel, these three Dutchmen handle bombastic and nightmarish opulence arrangements almost extravagantly.
