stellar, fucking incredible album.

I bought this album because of the great cover, without having heard a second. What I noticed during my first listens was my unfamiliarity with blackened sludge metal. Next, life happened, AToA and I lost sight of each other. Now, 2 years later, we're here again. This record sounds greatly pissed off and ominous, harrowing and abrasive. Multi-faceted, first-class blackened sludge from the depths of hatred itself. Sounds at least as good as it looks like.
Fun fact: Gaerea's vocalist digs this. Favorite track: Wormwood Star.

This is just excellent black metal in every sense. Murderous and intense.

about
THIS GIFT IS A CURSE return with their deadly new album, 'A Throne of Ash.' The quintet unleash a destructive modern synthesis that pulls from the sub-genres of metallic extremity; the ice-cold veneer of black metal, the cacophonous thunder of noise-core, and the vicious attack of grind/crust. THIS GIFT IS A CURSE are utterly ferocious, and 'A Throne of Ash' is a maelstrom of swirling blackened noise from the gaping mouth of madness.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 79 fans who also own “A Throne of Ash”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end.

The UK four-piece summon the ghosts of metal past to create an unsparing album that's unmistakably contemporary.
