Raw black metal symphonic shamanic duality cast forth from neck of noose and nullity of necrosis comes a conspiracy of Cornwall and Oregon crimson cruelty, this by name of Venymysgourvleydh and Collier d'Ombre, whom power of solar shadow bring forth a split incantation between these two entities to bleed forth rays of interminable strength.
Reborn from the wicked wheel of eternity since the age of 2020, VENYMYSGOURVLEYDH is the Cornish raw black masterwork of the ever prolific Nostalggia (Ynkleudherhenavogyon, Voids of Nirvana & Starfire Funeral), whom has been one of the United Kingdom’s most potent black metal sorcerers in recent years. VENYMYSGOURVLEYDH has always written a mythology of its own making, utilising infectious black miseries stained with experimental ambient synth work and spell composition, here using its feral illusions upon the first half of the split incantation. Furious fell blast beats, virtuosic tremolo mind possession, symphonic sun synth passages, rasping vocal choral contrast, bombastic bass heavy production and an enigmatic folklore thematic tyranny all make for a truly riveting experience that acolytes would be foolish to miss.
Brought onto this plane of existence only since the age of 2022, COLLIER D’OMBRE is the raw symphonic black metal creation of Oregon veteran Necklace of Shadow (Ash Borer, Excarnated Entity & ex-Triumvir Foul) and the mysterious Root of Ichor, whose self-titled debut presented an eldritch framework of synth laden black wonder woe. Here COLLIER D’OMBRE provide the second half of this incantation, taking their previous outing and refining their sound by the rays of the sun, honing their sacrificial stone swords by barbarity of the eternal war. Haunting synth supremacy, battering machine persecution, incinerating tremolo inception, hateful vocal croaks, atmospheric augur composition and a perfectly balanced production equal in dissonance as it is of clarity, all provide for a superb companion to VENYMYSGOURVLEYDH’s half of this split incarnation, as well as a ravenous end to that which was begun in pain of magnificent rebirth.
Available on limited red cassette and an extremely limited vintage gold variant.

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode

Deux mondes coexistent chez Venymysgourvleydh et on passe de l'un à l'autre sans transition. Il confirme dans cette troisième démo le changement radical qui s'opérait dans Harvest II : les synthés sont morts et enterrés, seul le raw black metal subsiste dans Subterranean Pyre. C'est une catabase qui commence directement dans les profondeurs. Les riffs sont de plus en plus destructurés à mesure que l'on s'enfonce et Nostalggia hurle comme un dément. C'est efficace, sombre et diabolique. Réussi ! Jordan Vauvert
