Description

A masterful work of atmospheric Black Metal from the depths of Iran, this self-titled album from Harpag Karnik’s Erancnoir project continues his exploration of ambient, depressive Black Metal, filled with haunting atmospheres and intricate melodies. The music draws from nature-based poetry and combines icy, relentless tremolo guitar with ghostly, screeching vocals. Featuring field recordings and deep synthesizers, it weaves a sense of emotional dread, resignation, and the inevitability of death, capturing the themes of autumn as a period of decline. The intensity of the title track, with its repetitiveness and captivating build-ups, is akin to the dark allure of 90s Burzum. Meanwhile, “Mehr,” the album’s secondary track, offers a more icy, abrasive sound with a colder, grinding edge.

Originally released by the now defunct Consistentis Veritatis Peremptoria label, Erancnoir – Erancnoir is a must-have for fans of dark, immersive atmospheric Black Metal. Last official copies!
