Today, German black metal tyrants Ascension stream the entirety of their highly anticipated second album, The Dead of the World - recently released by W.T.C. Productions in Europe and the UK - at Zero Tolerance magazine's website. Previewed by the Deathless Light EP, Ascension's The Dead of the World is
a grandiose work of bold creativity and boundless imagination, of
brilliant illumination and obsidian depth, all under the banner of
orthodox black metal. The band's debut album, 2010's Consolamentum,
became a classic in the underground not long after its release; it
evinced a wealth of maturity in composition and execution for such a new
band. Here, the quintet eclipse that accomplishment with a seven-song
salvo that's the epitome of Album Experience. Every part is where it
needs to be; every song flows from the other; there is a whole, and it
is a black HOLE. From its innermost depths, Ascension drive
onward and outward, their control of dynamics startling for mere "black
metal," their passion, fervor, and professionalism far beyond those who
supposedly uphold that genre. Joining Ascension in their peerless endeavor here are The Magus (Necromantia, Thou Art Lord, Principality of Hell) and Mors Dalos Ra (Necros Christos), who both respectively provide guest vocals on The Dead of the World. Black metal may be dead for all intents and purposes, but not for Ascension, for they show you The Dead of the World. Hear all of it for yourself exclusively HERE, courtesy of the UK's extreme metal authority, Zero Tolerance. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
