Wolvennest
Procession (purple)
Those who follow the occult music scene will know what to expect: a strange blend of psych/doom with a touch of the darkness found in black metal. Massive guitars, synths/mellotrons, melancholic yet oppressive atmospheres, all wrapped in Shazzula's haunting vocals and theremin, lead a bizarre ceremony reflecting the consequences of a dark journey one that ends in death and apocalypse. Procession also marks the first collaboration between Wolvennest and the Belgian label Consouling Sounds. Mostly self-recorded, and mixed/mastered by long-time producer Déhà at Blackout Studios, this fifth album features artwork by Arts of Maquenda, who also created the Temple artwork in 2020. Speaking of tradition, as always, Wolvennest welcomes guest appearancesthis time featuring Hekte Zaren, the enigmatic voice behind black metal's best-kept secret: Adaestuo. Sects, curses, death rituals, and psychotropics create an eerie atmosphere, showing that the band is ready for another decade of sonic exploration, enhanced in live performances by surreal projections.
