From the formerly known as cold Canada (hello global warming) comes Spectral Wound's third album. After their "Infernal Decadence" last 2018, the group's base and motivation remains intact and ready to fill us with their rabid melancholy in each of the entertaining 6 cuts that make up "A Diabolic Thirst".
And, as their cover tells us, the band is completely dedicated to the decadence and desolation of this world (or some other, who knows). The first thing that comes to mind when listening to those devastating riffs sewn into furious blast beats are French-speaking bands like Véhémence or Sünhopfer, or the depressive but heartfelt black of Sargeist. They are also not far from influences like Mgla, already almost omnipresent in this type of styles and a reference for many to follow.
As for the album, with themes so compact, but not complex, it is difficult to make qualitative distinctions between them. From the fast-paced "Imperial Saison Noire", to the apocalyptic "Fair Lucifer, Sad Relic", to the catchy "Frigid And Spellbound", Spectral Wound's color palette remains as concrete as ever, heading towards infinite darkness in every minute that the album gives us.
In conclusion, those who know and regularly visit black metal and its new developments will know that these Canadians are making a more than worthy name for themselves in a scene too weighed down by extreme ideologies.
