Belonging to the Order of the Broken Sword circle which includes labelmates AZATHOTH’S DREAM and WULDORGAST, LURING made their public debut in 2018 with the Interitu Caret Devotione ad Coronam Satanas demo. From there, with the successive full-lengths Victory Fires Ablaze Under the Banner of Lucifer and the IRON BONEHEAD-released Triumphant Fall of the Malignant Christ last year, LURING have slowly-yet-assuredly become one of the most exciting developments in American black metal of recent years, effortlessly finessing a stridently classicist form that doesn’t point toward preceding idioms too obviously nor overly.<\/p>\n
Perhaps reaching their apotheosis of such, LURING now deliver Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy. The trio’s third album features much of the same foundation as its two LP predecessors – rippling physicality fused with otherworldly texture, inspired by contemporaneously early Abigor and Gorgoroth as equally as turn-of-the-millennium Nocternity and Lunar Aurora – but here do LURING intensify the extremes of their sound. On one hand, that physicality goes a more gutted direction, digging deep into sepulchral catacombs almost deathly. On another hand (and especially as the album plays on), their once-subtle melodicism goes to bolder lengths: some more melancholic, others more triumphant, but always with a fully developed narrative arc. Interestingly, half the album is given to instrumental tracks that aren’t strictly “ambient” in the usual black metal sense(s), imparting haunting \/ alluring atmospheres that thread seamlessly into Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy’s overall sensory experience; however, there are touches of true ambient within the other four, otherwise-black-metal songs. Altogether, and armed with a cleaner and yet still-analog production, LURING render their third full-length a never-belabored masterclass in black metal both authentically ancient and refreshingly modern. <\/p>\n
