STORMING – celestial clear moonlit DigiCD

Continuing their crusade to shine a (black)light on ancient-minded black metal from American shores, IRON BONEHEAD makes a bloodpact with STORMING for the band’s second full-length, Celestial Clear Moonlit. The work of one solitary Ratatosk, STORMING’s black metal is at least a couple decades behind the times, and proudly so. With a vintage shredded guitar tone betraying deft twists of texture, vocals that range grim-yet-expressive to choral-yet-distant, and synths that are indeed celestial and moonlit, subtly circulating like funeral fog, the four epic-length tracks (plus short & no-less-shredded instrumental) that comprise Celestial Clear Moonlit effortlessly transport the listener to forgotten realms.

STORMING’s song constructions are simple and yet elongated, making for maximal mesmerization; deceptively streamlined on the surface, those raw rudiments are hypnotically layered for shimmering effect. Thoughts of classic Moonblood and Isengard – and even Belketre and Vlad Tepes, both at their most measured, or Warloghe during their demo era – crop up often during the duration of Celestial Clear Moonlit, but instead of instilling a sense of deja vu, the sum atmosphere arrives at a parallel place; black metal this ancient can only come a heart burning with authenticity. Wide-open wanderlust, rustic aura, modernity rejected: behold STORMING’s Celestial Clear Moonlit!
