This is third album of Fulgurum which is one-man band from Poland but possibly located in Germany at some point. I do not want to imagine how much effort and time has to be taken from individual to possess simple knowledge about the instruments he uses to express himself musically. Krignord is the only person behind the band who is making the music to satisfy his alter ego by playing black metal. And that`s just basic to say because quite often his music and guitars in particular are more avant-garde and with many different tracks going at the same time. Some music ideas are absolutely absorbing but sometimes I have impression that some tracks are bit overdone. There is always a spirit of traditional black metal on this album but often spiced up by super original riffs and some influences could be off the track from origins of black metal. It`s just fine, compelling. The sound is harsh and chaotic with vocals that have shades of desperation and lamentations in Krignord voice. There are some short ambient influences, a touch of folk, Viking metal and atmospheric moments as well. Music is a bit theatrical and bizarre like mix of Lux Occulta and Arcturus. A feel to Norwegian black metal is present but Fulgurum is capable to twist it and turned the music to really weird sounding black metal the longer this album plays. I used to think that term black metal is an indication of easy going music but this album is not. It`s not perfect in many ways but it`s demanding, challenging to listen to and made by just one person who disturb his music as much as possible. I always let myself to approach albums that need to reach out beyond boundaries. And for that, my Hails to Fulgurum for doing what the others can`t see in black metal.
