Twilight - Monument to Time End

Black Metal.

2 words to strike fear into my heart.

I've tried, God knows I have tried with

various albums but after 2 or 3 tracks,

the unrelenting barrage of sonic onslaught

turns my brain to jelly and I might as well

be listening to white noise.

But.....

I have read so many reviews of this album

- all that say that Twilight have created

something that goes outside the black metal

genre, I had to give it a go.

Of course, the vocals sound like a zombie

pig trying to shout without the use of

human vocal chords but no worse than

the heavier passages from General Lee,

Generation of Vipers, Mouth of the

Architect etc. In fact huge chunks are

like Post-Metal - the heavy bits!

There are synth parts of ambient

drone, clean choir like backing vocals

and slow, cleanish guitar lines that

could fit in on Pelican or Explosions

in the Sky albums - some very palatable

post-rock soundscapes.

Not for the faint hearted but if you

have ever dabbled in ear bleeding

post-metal, give this a Listen
