Commander Agares – Legions of Descending Twilight (2021)

This release is great. Reminds me of Carelean-era Satanic Warmaster. There’s a lot of parallels with Satanic Warmaster, actually – the artwork too gives heavy similarities to vibes and themes that Werwolf has used with that project. I know the Finland scene can sometimes be rather incestous, so perhaps there is more going on here with this connection that tourists like me realise.

The guitar tone is very fuzzy. Probably gonna be a WTF reaction but reminds me in part of abstract Brazilian goregrinders Lymphatic Phlegm. The dense fuzz of the guitar gives these tunes an unique sound, again going back to that Finnish art of balancing immense distortion and “kvlt” production with streaks of irresistable melody.

I was gonna say actually, this is like a sketch-free alternative to Satanic Warmaster, but this project went and done a split with Graveland, so there’s that gone out the fucking window LOL
