Joris "Alfschijn" van Gelre is a great musician and composer and with his project (or must I say band?!) Bezwering does he mix clean vocals (like in Heidevolk, one of his former bands) with black metal screams. The changings of speed and ambiance and the blastbeats combined with the slow passages makes this album a real pleasure to listen to. grote_smurf
Dinbethes blew me away, so I started paying attention to Dutch Black and found Ossaert. Then I realized P was involved in both projects; and following P, I found Weerzin and then this: Shagor. Total abyss, profundity, whirling blackness, ritualistic hallucinogenic trance chanting echoes, rabid nocturnal wailing, all raging from a chamber in an ageless citadel of Cyclopean masonry buried under the ocean. It’s so raw, yet so multilayered and impassioned. This is great! 10/10 zlatanika
