"A Slow, Weary Wind" Runs through Acathexis's Troubled Black Metal (Early Track Stream)
The Internet has enabled some rather fascinating collaborations in black metal, and Acathexis ranks high among them. Featuring Jacob Buczarski of Mare Cognitum, the absurdly prolific Déhà, and Dany Tee (Seelenmord, Los Males del Mundo), the group put together their new album Immerse across three separate countries, but you'd never guess it from the finished product. Impressively locked-in, the trio execute atmospheric black metal with overbearing minimalism, avoiding extra layers in favor of weaving several compelling threads together. Déhà instills a complex mix of emotions into explorative leads that silhouette his rhythm guitar like impeccably detailed funeral crepe, while Buczarski's drumming locks in with huge booming fills that thunder throughout the album. Tee's vocals -- piercing, blustery gales -- enhance the natural, elemental chaos that permeates Immerse.
Today we're premiering "A Slow, Weary Wind," which concludes the record and comes with a sense of beleaguered endurance to match. Like a traveler drawing close to the end of a difficult journey, it comes with reflection, regret, and exhaustion, all expressed through the lens of sorrowful black metal.
