LAST COPIES!

Following 2018's excellent Ex Inanis, Portuguese Black Metal ensemble ADVERSO returns with yet another hail to the underworld, a shadowy tome aptly entitled Descent. In the course of four tracks, ADVERSO drags the listener on a sinister journey through the dark night of the mind, soul and beyond with a ceremonial, utterly somber sound marked by morbid, incredibly dark riffs, ritualistic rhythmic impulses and a ghastly vocal delivery that carries a piercing, almost dangerous component, thus contributing to the overall visceral aura of distress permeating this Descent. ADVERSO's sound is austere and poignant, elements which the reverberating sound production elevate to a higher level of torment and disturbance, similarly aided by the superb artwork which mystifyingly adorns this opus. ADVERSO once again ravishes through the chthonic regions and gives voice to the formless void with a genuine essence of Black Metal magick.
