Bring Out the Corpse Paint

March 11th, 2022

If you haven’t noticed, we have a tendency to change genres like we change clothes. “Acedia” is no exception, seeing the band delve even deeper into the Black Metal sound established on tracks like “Black Out the Sun”, albeit to a much stronger extent. Gone is the riffage, arrived is the mood. Will they continue this sound in the foreseeable future?
