What Once Was... Liber III

by Blut Aus Nord

supported by

Simon Sludge What Once Was... Liber III and its predecessors are leaning towards the earlier, more extreme material of the band, rather than the more mellow direction they took on with the 777 trilogy. It has the cold industrial production the band is well known for and features guitar work full of twisted and howling dissonance. This release makes perfect sense in the context of its superordinate concept and once more shows, how diverse a band with a signature sound can still get. Favorite track: III.

about

The time is nigh for “Liber III”, the third chapter in BLUT AUS NORD’s open-ended, existential “What Once Was…” odyssey. Although clearly analogous to the band’s core body of work, this series of works subsists in a parallel plane, presenting the messenger in a more stripped-down and organic state, exposing an aspect of BLUT AUS NORD that would otherwise have remained hidden from the world. In keeping with the modus operandi of its predecessors, the third movement constitutes a bitter narration of pasts cold and lost; a nihilistic expression of the soulless, empty nothingness that prevails today; and a harrowing glimpse of a dystopian future, pregnant with pain and suffering. Raging tempestuously, tumultuously, these six outraged odes to oblivion epitomise instability and embrace chaos yet – oh so poignantly! - are masterfully controlled.

BrutalDeath technique et mélodique, à deux voix, fondues dans l'ensemble, où rivalisent deux guitares très présentes et efficaces. Ce groupe n'entre pas dans mon Top10, mais ça n'empêche en rien la qualité de l'œuvre présente... et ce n'est que mon humble avis ! XD EklektikTrip

Researched Icelandic bands before being able to visit the country in 2019 and found primarily Misþyrming!!!! They reignited and intensified an existing ( and somewhat on the back burner at the time ) love of heavy music. Even listened on the flight there! I have gotten into a lot of great bands because of them. hellaganj2000
