It seems like good black metal bands are so hard to find these days. They either play it so close to the originals that you might as well listen to the originals, or they?re just terrible? mostly they seem to be terrible. Blaze of Perdition is different. They took that classic 90s black metal sound, extended the songs, added some dynamics and made them just a little heavier. They?re really minor changes, but it works and leads to Conscious Darkness being the first really good black metal album (from a newer artist) in a while. Bleak, heavy, melodic, diverse, atmospheric and epic. Everything a good black metal album with extended songs should be. This album also has a really good drummer.
