Darknight
Claret Ash are new to me so this EP is especially enlightening, their atmospheric black metal is the sonic blast everyone should listen to.
Favorite track: Invocation of the Dream Weavers.

I sleep away the lost of yesterday
I hunger for a new voyage
Perform the rite, the rituals of grief
Wake me up from my slumber, from my slumber
Poisoned dreams
Roots beneath
The satyrs dance
Upon the earth in which I lay
Twilight
Falls in a cascade
Cascadence of the Twilight
Cascadence of the nightfall
Servant, slave, king
You are all the same
Black out the sun
Give birth to night
My sacrifice
Black out the sun
Give birth to night
Bleed for me
Swept away into the realm of the lost
but not forgotten
Never replaced, but never thee seen, transcending this verse, acceptance is key
the past in foresight
Cascadence of the Twilight
Atmosphere reigns supreme in Claret Ash's majestic return. Five years removed from their last full-length, the double-album 'The Great Adjudication' Australian Melodic Black Metal band Claret Ash are ready to present a new EP 'Worldtorn: Anemoia' - the second installment in its recently launched 'Worldtorn' series. Weaving together narratives among common threads of collapse, resiliency, symbiosis, and renewal, Worldtorn - a concept yet in its infancy - seeks to explore various facets of post-apocalyptic existence.
Featuring a mix of both new material and reinterpreted work from their back catalog,'Worldtorn: Anemoia' delivers atmospheric and menacing black metal equally unforgiving, savage, triumphant, and imaginative. At its core, the new material on the EP is Atmospheric Black Metal but uses a wide array of tools to craft that familiar atmosphere, seamlessly shifting from pummeling death metal sections, soaring melodic leads, ethereal folk sections, and more without ever losing its footing or forward moving direction. Besides the new material, Anemoia also includes a re-recording of the track 'Ground Dweller' from its debut album of the same name - faster and more intense, as they now play it live - before concluding with an acoustic version of 'The Wolves Have Fed Again' (taken from their second album), and a stunningly beautiful orchestral rendition of the new track 'Cascadence of the Twilight'.
'Worldtorn: Anemoia' will be released on CD/Digital August 11, 2023
Vinyl edition will follow in late 2023

A blackened doom concept record about the very real problem of amphibian extinction, “Croak” is a punishing, essential listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 23, 2022
