Warthur
Wrest wrangles forth a crop of depressive black metal with doomy, droney undertones on Lurker of Chalice's sole full-fledged album. It's a combination of ingredients which in principle should go down really well with me, but something about it feels a bit off; it's a little repetitive, and not in an interesting hypnotic way but in a way which keeps nudging me out of the atmosphere that Wrest is trying to establish. Delivery and production are competent for a solo project, and the sound is certainly original, but it's just not something I care to listen to concertedly in the way I would other depressive black metal like Leviathan or Shining.
