Lurker of Chalice

[Erik]

"In one sense, imagine the annihilation-time archetype of mid-'90s Neurosis drawing a bead on Blut Aus Nord's recent love of lava, with perhaps the surrealistic insomnia of Albin Julius-era Death in June orbiting the mélange/miasma/meltdown. In another sense, this is something altogether different and certainly altogether more terrifying - and yet, most perversely, soothing 'n' sumptuous and even a bit sensual.in the jet-blackest of manners, of course. Confused yet? Don't be: Just buy it, as it's easily among the year's best, no joke."

-- N.T.Birk (Terrorizer / Metal Maniacs)

Piercing Where They Might

It's almost like modern Blut Aus Nord but actually good... Interesting stuff


EDIT: Oh yeah, this is a project of Wrest of Leviathan. I suspect half of you have heard it already and that it's oldnews then. OH WELL

Read that review last night actually, made me a little more interested in picking it up.

Seems a local distro just stocked it, I guess it's a sign...

 

[MFJ]

It would be better if it didn't sound exactly like minimalist Leviathan with the exact same production.

I've had it for a while now and am quite enjoying it. Wrest is great. I also just bought a new BM compilation partly because it has an exclusive Leviathan track.

I assume everyone here has Twilight already with Wrest, Malefic, etc?

Nice, I'll definitely be picking this up.

Please consider using Autumn Wind Productions for this album or other stuff. The guy that runs it used to be a regular over at MetalReview, although he hasn't been around for awhile. Big black metal guy, and the distro seems to be picking up steam. He's got it for 11 bucks.

link isn't working for me. song sounds cool. audible bass is always a plus.

 

[matt99_crew]

Huh, no problems here. Anyway, just try www.autumnwp.com.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I heard it once and hated it.

 

[Dev]

BUMP.

Good minimalistic blend of ambient and bm elements. Less ambitious than Blut Aus Nord for example but it's very good on first listen. Only one album ? I dled the S/T.

Yeah, only one but I'm hoping he does more with this project. I liked it on first listen but it's done nothing but get better with each listen thereafter.

Edit: Just saw this on Metal Archives:

According to a 2004 interview with Wrest there are 4 unreleased full-length albums by Lurker of Chalice.

 

[Dev]

I like this better than Leviathan so yup

 

[Ellestin]

I'd really like to add something of value to this thread but cannot think of anything beyond "this rules immensely".

Yes I read somewhere that he's got at least three albums' worth of unreleased shit. *drools*

 

[Nate The Great]

Where can this be bought?

 

[Ellestin]

From your usual NSBM distro I wager. Just look around it's not yet a hard to find item.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Dark Horizon Records distro has it.

 

[Chromatose]

and I think Southern Lord has a variety of classy swirled vinyls if that's your thang

 

[MFJ]

Wrest makes too much music.
