Glen and Precipice by Deafest

On February 23rd 2016, Deafest released "Glen and Precipice" their fourth full-length album. As some of you may or may not know, Deafest, a black metal group from Colorado, United States; is all about nature, and the landscapes that portray true beauty. This new release starts off strong with the pure raw Deafest sound we've all come to know and love, while carrying a new kind of clarity that previous releases may not have been so prevalent with. If you take the time to listen through Deafest's entire discography you'll hear the transformations just as you've seen nature change, and the earth change with each passing day. Chase of Deafest is very much an active member in The Black Metal Alliance, as well as The Dark Skies Above Us, which I can say I've had the honor and the privilege of working alongside him with TDSAU's Resistance Anti-NSBM Compilation Volume IV, as well as the BMA's Crushing Intolerance Volume III. Truly a great musician, but most importantly a great person. Now to return from my digression; "Glen and Precipice" is an astound work of art, that I hold very close to my heart, there are so many emotions captured within the riffs of this short masterpiece. I very much truly mean masterpiece as well; this album will take you on an emotional journey through the valleys, "Hollers" over mountain tops soaring high into the bright sunlight to leave you back down in the valley in the furthest reaches from the warmth of the sun. Where your heart will ache and mourn for our beautiful earth, as you sit back and watch humanity destroy the one thing they have left; then when the chords and the atmosphere lifts your spirits again, you'll sit high above the mountain tops at one with nature. A new found respect for our home. Some of you may be familiar with Deafest, and know that they do not charge for their electronic releases.

Πρέπει να έχω ακούσει αυτό το δίσκο, πάνω από 100 φορές μέσα σε ένα μήνα. Πρόκειται απλά για instrumental αριστούργημα, υψηλής Τέχνης. Οι Deafest ξεκινούν με ένα τραγούδι ανάβαση. Κλιμακωτή ένταση που φτάνει στην ηρεμία, στην κορφή του βουνού. Συνεχίζουν με ένα καλοπαιγμένο πέρασμα στο καλύτερο κομμάτι της πλευράς τους, με έναν εξαιρετικό συνδιασμό του κιθαριστικού riff και του tempo του μπάσου και των drums. To Rising from the Ridgeline, είναι από εκείνα τα κομμάτια που σου κολάει ο σκελετός της μελωδίας του στο κεφάλι, για μήνες. Οι γνωστοί μας από παλαιότερα posts Evergreen Refuge, δεν είναι κατώτεροι των περιστάσεων. Μπαίνουν δυναμικά μέ ένα φανταστικό κομμάτι που χαρακτηρίζεται καλύτερα ως πένθιμο εμβατήριο της Φύσης. Συνεχίζουν με το αξιοπρεπέστατο Beyond the Mountains για να φτάσουν και αυτή στην κορύφωση με το αριστούργημα And it Begins Anew... Σίγουρα μια από τις καλύτερες underground black metal κυκλοφορίες που έχω ακούσει μέχρι στιγμής για φέτος.

I have probably listened to this album for more than 100 times this month. This is an instrumental masterpiece of higher Art. Deafest start with a climbing song. Escalating tension that reaches total serenity on the mountain top. They go on with a well executed passing to the best song of their side, with an excellent combination of a great guitar riff with the bass and drums ' tempo. Rising from the Ridgeline is one of these songs whose melody is stuck inside your head for months. Evergreen Refuse, who have been featured here in older posts, are not falling behind. They begin strongly with a great song which would be best described as a funeral anthem of Nature. The go on with the really good Beyond the Mountains to reach their own peak, with the masterpiece And it Begins Anew... Definitely one of the best releases that i have heard so far, this year.
