SETHERIAL - Ekpyrosis
Kategori: Albums
I also quite like the lyrical theme of the album. It's obviously dark as it's Black Metal - but it's not the typical Satanic themes you usually hear. Instead we have the Ekpyrosis, which is the belief that the universe destroys itself and recreates again following a certain cycle. Setherial takes this and adds some typical Black Metal to it, and kind of creates a cosmic Satanism I guess? Sounds a bit funny, but at least it's refreshing! Anyhow I do like how the album kind of builds up to this destruction of everything and then just ends in silence - it really fits the theme, especially if you play the album several times in a row!
So that's what I really like about this album, despite being raw and uncompromising Black Metal it has so many layers to keep it interesting for a long time. And they manage to do this without going all symphonic with lots of orchestrations and all that jazz.
