BOOK OF BLACK EARTH

Picking itself up from the remains of Teen Cthulhu, Seattle's Book of Black Earth is antagonistic and unrelenting black metal. Gothic-sounding keyboards add a symphonic element to the barrage of deathened riffs, and driving, impeccable percussion. Fortunately absent are the ridiculous costumes and overall pretense that seem to plague the genre (see: youtube).
