Mantric Malediction

by Guignol Noir

YomaBarr Heard this first riff? So keep on listening and shut up. Reminds me somehow of Besatt (PL).

Ippocalyptica This is not what I thought I needed in 2020, but it is way more essential than I would have ever initially believed. Guignol Noir are not a new band, but what they are doing is, at least to these ears, fresh and innovative. For the sake of making some sort of comparison, imagine a darker, faster, and more ambitious version of Watain’s Casus Luciferi, though this is still a gross over generalization. In what has been a great year for black metal, Mantric Malediction is right up there! Favorite track: Ritual ov Damnation.

about

MANTRIC MALEDICTION is an unforgiving vision of black metal, constantly immersing the listen in savage, frostbitten soundscapes. Each tremolo picked riff has an eerie, discordant and slightly worn sound, giving the record an antiquated essence, topped off with Schiach's forceful and primitive bellowed growls. In an age where high quality studio production is more available than ever, it's fascinating to hear a black metal album made in 2020 that sounds like it could genuinely have been recorded in the early '90s.

Guignol Noir are an act shrouded in mystique, only playing a handful of shows and festivals, but are ready to make their mark with this debut full length album. Mantric Malediction was self-recorded by Guignol Noir in their private studio, and mixed and mastered by Kerberos of the Swiss black metal collective Helvetic Underground Committee.

Two intriguing, singularly minded, uniquely focussed projects to emerge from the UK underground in recent years, with arresting visions of the genre – the aggressive symphonic primitivism of Reign, backed with the Hammond-driven blackened forest metal of Rulum. Fantastic split. Meatbreak

En jy Met die 12 arbeide Daar waar die son opkom Toe my gees in Am Boden bo die kroon uitstorm Het ek dit deur ‘n dik pyp na jou toe aangejaag As herhinnering Van die klein bottel met die groot gif Wat almal sal bliksem afgesien van grootte Ek het minder daarvan nodig waar ek is Laat dit jou deursien Die straf is groot Mag die beloning ook wees Rakende die klank self: Nog nooit het 4 mechanics in een garage so mooi lawaai nie. Sinergistiese stormende drang om anderkant die koepel uit te kyk--LD XUL//EXCELSI
