Review: Mycorrhizal – Blessed Be the Match (Full album, 2024) | Experimental

Today is a day of resistance and struggle for the Antifascist Black Metal Network. Well, every day is one in truth, really, but today has the special symbolism of being March 8th, the International Day of the Struggle of Women Workers, a day that celebrates the February Russian Revolution of 1917 where women-led textile strike toppled the czar. And today, as Palestinian and Ukrainian women strike back against imperialism and colonialism, as trans women in the West fight genocide, from Wallmapu to Manipur, from Myanmar to Saharaui, we want to add to that fire of revolt – and we do that with the newest release of the already familiar Mycorrhizal, from Wisconsin, US.

Aptly titled Blessed Be The Match, this EP defies easy classification; we can say, though, that Christine’s experimentation, which has never been bound to black metal, now has gone waaaay beyond our namesake genre, landing somewhere between ambient, trap/hip-hop, and harsher but still danceable electronic music, in what could be described perhaps as “Grendel meets shrieked rap”.

May we burn to the ground this world that destroys us, along with its agents like Antideutsche and TERFs! From the spark, let the plain rise up in flames!
