Scarlet Empyrean (US) — Nysthica — 2023 EP

The debut of this solo act from the United States. Despite this being a debut, we are served with a good serving of visceral black metal but also ornamented with good atmospheric sections or occasional black ‘n death detours. This uncertainty of what goes ahead of the melody, can be either an exploratory process or maybe a songwriting trait. Regardless, it is a solid release that is able to convince the listener either from the firm vocals or the guitar quality, to keep track of future releases.
