Blacksoul Seraphim's latest offering, Alms Avarice, is a haunting and atmospheric journey through the darker side of metal. From the opening track, "Descent," the listener is plunged into a world of oppressive soundscapes and crushing riffs that evoke the feeling of being lost in a labyrinthine nightmare.
The vocals, delivered by frontman Leviathan, are suitably demonic and add to the overall sense of foreboding. Tracks like "Serpent's Tongue" and "Infernal Majesty" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend black metal, doom, and death metal elements into a cohesive whole.
The production on Alms Avarice is impeccable, with every instrument and vocal line given ample space to breathe and shine. The album's closing track, "Ascension," is a fitting conclusion to the journey, with its soaring guitar leads and epic atmosphere.
