Seven Candles for an Empty Altar

by Book Of Sand

supported by

Kirk Gauthier If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered what it would sound like of Sun Ra and Captain Beefheart teamed up and started a black metal side project. …Okay, not really, but that’s probably the best way I can describe what this album sounds like. Heavy on the experimental side with heavy influences from free jazz with smatterings of raw black metal throughout. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path that will challenge your expectations, look no further. Favorite track: The Realization of Unclear Dreams.

use2alone Extreme chaos in experimental black metal. Excellent compositions overall despite the black metal parts dipped too deep ... and "6" is the best so far.

Thank you! Favorite track: 6.

El Olivo y el Olvido

looks like the tree from that movie, or the forest mana symbol from MTG... either way, it's quite a departure from the earlier black metal offerings. I like them both (I like Magic cards better than movies, tho) so keep it up! Dumb mmmn

When an album achieves such a beautiful symbiosis between the message conveyed, the values defended and a RABM that is both powerful and melodic...we can only be won over. Long live the fight against fascism ! 𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖓𝖎𝖊 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕳𝖔𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖉
