More about 'White Noise And Black Metal'

Swedish black metal veterans Craft return with their haunting opus "White Noise And Black Metal", a devastating exploration of sonic brutality and atmospheric darkness that showcases the band's evolution while maintaining their signature misanthropic edge. The album opens with "The Cosmic Sphere Falls", immediately establishing the band's trademark wall of distorted guitars and relentless blast beats, before diving into tracks like "Again" and "Undone" that demonstrate their ability to weave melody within chaos. Each composition feels carefully crafted yet spontaneously violent, with the production allowing every instrument to cut through the mix with surgical precision.

The second half of the album proves equally compelling, with "Darkness Falls" serving as a centerpiece that builds from ominous beginnings to explosive climaxes. Tracks like "Crimson" and "Shadow" showcase the band's mastery of dynamics, alternating between crushing heaviness and eerily beautiful passages that create an unsettling atmosphere. The closing track "White Noise" serves as both culmination and statement, leaving listeners in a state of cathartic exhaustion that only the finest black metal can achieve.

For fans of: Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor, Burzum, and Watain
