The Black Winter

by Darkened

supported by

spectral_grøøve_HM2 The first one was already excellent..
This one is even better. True crushing & grooving OSDM From start to finish ! The Castellano's artwork is breathtaking (as usual) and the songwriting is very interesting ! Intense atmosphere throughout the entire album ! Thanks a lot for this amazing album ! 🖤🤘🏼 Favorite track: Plague of Despair.

Old Man Metal A masterful slab of modern Eurodeath that shows a huge old-school-Swedeath influence. It lays bare the cadaverous remains of a death-shadowed realm of torment, despair, and unlife... and establishes Darkened as master wielders of the magnificent old zweihander that is Scandinavian death metal. Top-tier. Favorite track: Plague of Despair.

deathmetald1976 Another stellar fucking album by these guys! Old school fuckers get on this now! Now for a London show!! Favorite track: Black Winter.

RavenSoul.metal Awesome melodic death metal, the only downside is I’m still waiting for the vinyl in mid November 2022. Favorite track: Fearful Quandary.

Dante Ruivo Super solid melodic-ish death metal, riffs gallore. Favorite track: Plague of Despair.

about

As presaged earlier this year by the quick-hitting Mourn the Dying Light EP, DARKENED arrive with their massive second album, The Black Winter. Immediately, their trademark sound is in place - clear & crushing riffs, grooves like a tank, an overall world-eating sensibility - but delve deeper and one will find DARKENED expanding their already-considerable powers. Most prominently, there's a surprising amount of atmosphere being explored on The Black Winter, true to its namesake. The resultant spaciousness is somehow just as suffocating as the band's now-characteristic density; whether it's in the riffing itself or the very subtle touches of synth underneath, the album certainly bears a unique-yet-unified aspect. From there, melancholic twists and wistful melody are seamlessly integrated into the DARKENED onslaught of sound, which alternately pushes the aggression to murderous levels and the doom to the darkest depths; put another way, everything here sounds HUGE. And credit for that must go to Linus Nirbrant, who handled The Black Winter's production, as well as mixing & mastering by the Dan Swanö at Unisound - truly, one will not find a clearer yet more crushing death metal record this year!
