3 songs, 50 minutes, on a full album, is maybe all you need to know about Astral Lore‘s new self-titled release.

You can expect it from here, we publish black metal, it’s very long songs, hence it’s an excellent atmospheric black metal album. While it’s their first full-length album, Astral Lore already has some solid contributions to the scene, with the three-way split they published with Wrekan and Botgörelsen and that we covered a few weeks ago.

Those three songs, manage to keep a consistent pace, an always interesting composition and arrangement. Unlike many atmospheric black metal bands, you keep all instruments in their expected place, no tuned-out guitars, no forgotten drums, and on top of that an excellent vocal track. This album really sounds like huge-length black metal that doesn’t get boring, and there’s something really noticeable about it that I enjoy. The music is heavy, it crawls into your skin, it’s as raw as you may like.

If you feel lost in those endless streams of bland atmospheric black metal, you should give Astral Lore a try, because, on top of it all, it has been released today on tape by Realm & Ritual.
