"Dirty guttural, raw, obsidian-black metal, forged in the eternal hellfires of the ancients, and hewn into a singing blade of melodic fury."
-Order ov the Black Arts (https://linktr.ee/ootba)
"Quick share of some just unleashed occult madness from Mexico, featuring the vocal horrors of Ianzel from Precaria, Thornspawn (Official Site) and more. 'Mantra Obscura' is the debut offering of Astral Evocation, and tuning in to its transmundane wavelengths really will lead your consciousness down winding dark pathways of sinister metaphysical mania and burning torments. Everything about it is oddly unsettling (even down to the bass and percussive sounds, seemingly designed to subtly remove you from your comfort zone) and there are some great tracks to be discovered - but I'm particularly partial to the opening evocations and diabolical solo within 'Kingdom of Ashes', so check that out below and grab yourself a download at name-your-price. Twisted obsidian art. Hails."
