Description
Hailing from the Netherlands, Ermengrond brings forth an intriguing fusion of Atmospheric and Pagan Post-Black Metal with a raw and primal energy. This release stands out with its lengthy, immersive compositions, driving rhythms, and earthy melodies that blend elements of darkness and intensity. Wijdse grond explores the depths of atmospheric black metal with an industrialized, almost trance-like pulse that creates a hypnotic atmosphere throughout. The project’s raw approach shines through, especially in tracks that blend tension and raw emotion, capturing the essence of nature and human struggle.
The compositions evolve in intensity, with moments of manic dissonance giving way to haunting, layered melodies. There’s a sense of unrelenting progression throughout the album as the music ebbs and flows, each track taking the listener on an unpredictable journey. It’s an album that thrives on contrasts, merging the raw and the ethereal, and the natural and the industrial, making it a captivating listen for fans of atmospheric metal with a touch of the untamed. Released through the now-defunct Consistentis Veritatis Peremptoria label, Wijdse grond represents the final official copies of this deeply personal and emotionally charged work.
