Kasturn (UK) — The Torchbearer Fades — 2024 full length

The debut album after two demos and one EP by this Londoner trio. Finally, we are graced by a long offering from this excellent act in a similar vein as their previous works. While they still show their unyielding black metal in a furious, harsh and sometimes punkish state, there are also some tracks that feature a more languid concept with some underlying gloom, where the past fierceness is put aside and allow the guitar perform in a more heavy metal style riffing. This is a project that since their inception has kept my interest high, and for this reason as this record is the culmination, and hopefully with more in the future from this Londoner triumvirate.
