Corvus Corax
Labelled by their record company as "pagan symphonic black metal",
Corvus Corax packs a lot into their debut album,
Atavistic Triad.
The songs are long (the core of the album are two 14+ minute songs
and another track that's over 7 minutes) and involved, with a thick,
dense doom/black/gothic blend and harsh black-ish vocals.
The interplay between guitars and keyboards is nice, and there are
no faults with the performances, but the songs are slightly lacking
in identity.
There is clear potential here, as their style is fairly unique.
Though there is room for improvement,
Atavistic Triad could prove
an interesting listen, though it's far from light or immediate.
The band seems to keep a rather low profile and, with reports of
side projects occupying some of the members, it's not really clear
where this band is headed.
