Loslosia This album is a goliath in black metal that shows off Nechochwen’s fine craftsmanship in songwriting while brimming with raw passion, energy, and soul. From its treasure trove of instantly memorable yet blistering melodic black riffs, to its careful attention to dynamics, space, and feeling, to its somber beauty and subtle complexity, this album seems to get everything right. Easily my favorite album of 2022 and one of my favorite black metal albums period. Favorite track: Kanawha Black.

about

Though Kanawha Black was inspired by events both factual and anecdotal in American prehistory and frontier history, the songwriting gradually progressed into an album that has a less earthy and more otherworldly atmosphere. As we tracked, mixed, and mastered this album over several years, Kanawha Black seemed to originate from and reside somewhere in the ether. On the surface, the songs’ topics continue to explore our region; Appalachia (specifically the Ohio River Valley of West Virginia and Ohio as well as the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania) continues to provide our greatest artistic influence. However, we hope that these songs will also convey to the listener that the essence of the past, even in fleeting moments in our modern lives, is still connected to us in many ways through natural mystery. Kanawha Black is our attempt to tap into the veil of this connection.
