AZAGHAL

Release Year: 2005
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: savage energetic expressive black metal

one of the pivotal moments in the career of well familiar ensemble from Finnish black metal scene coincides with a new contract signed with an underground yet highly reputable Italian label, and even if this is merely a coincidence, the advocates of misanthropic, fast-paced, raw sound suddenly change strategy, refining not only their musical direction but also providing it with far more effective production, allowing significantly more expressive creative elements to emerge, while simultaneously adding epic accents in choruses and melodic solos borrowed from classic heavy metal bands that fit almost perfectly their still abrasive extreme framework, making fifth full-length opus a standout achievement for Azaghal that continues to define their creative path up to this day
