For a band whose last long-player in 2012, :: :: Imperator, was a two-disc 150-minute foray into twisted :: :: black metal, D°dsengel appear to never be without ideas. :: :: Thus, it's with little surprise on their new Interequinox, :: :: the enigmatic duo of Kark (vocals, guitars, bass) and Malach :: :: Adonai (drums) present an unyielding grab bag of esoteric :: :: black metal. :: :: :: :: There's a definite line between outwardly weird black metal :: :: and the type D°dsengel plays, which is falls somewhere :: :: between the space-rattling work of Oranssi Pazuzu and the :: :: oftentimes obtuse angles and shades of Funeral Mist. While :: :: the sum of those two bands certainly doesn't equal what :: :: D°dsengel are doing, it enables their songs to head down a :: :: turbulent path, whether on "Prince of Ashes" and the :: :: dungeon-y "Opaque." "Illusions" may get the nod as the :: :: album's most sideways track, introducing an avant-garde :: :: flank that quickly merges into crashing, mid-tempo black :: :: metal that traverses head-long into the abyss. :: :: :: :: In reality, Interequinox never gets settled because :: :: D°dsengel never allows themselves to become too enamored :: :: with an idea. For instance, a cut like "Ved Alltings Ende" :: :: initially has the makings of a doom-ensconced puncher, only :: :: to suddenly morph into a hybrid of hyper, avant-garde black :: :: metal, all with a dizzying array of buzzing riffs and schizo :: :: vocals. It's this sort of template, or lack thereof, that :: :: keeps D°dsengel's songs fresh and vivacious, for lack of a :: :: better term. It also makes Interequinox a quandary of a :: :: listen. :: :: :: :: . _ _ . :: \: :. \\ ___________ . ___________ // .: :/ __\____ :: ____ ___\ _ / BERC : 2017 \ _ /___ ____ :: ____/__ \\\f3! :: \\\ __ _/_________i_________\ /___/ /// :: cRO/// \ :: :\-\___________\_ ___ / _ _/___________/-/: :: / :: | . . _ _ _/ __/ . \_ _ _ . . | :: : :::::::: | | \\\\\/ _______\____|\ \///// | | :::::::: : :: | | -\-\/____/-------------\____\/-/- | | :: :: | | \ :|: / | | :: : : | . ` ::: ' . | : : . . | : ::: : | . . | :::....:::....::: | : ::::::::::::::::: : . :::''``:::''``::: . : ::: : . ::: . .:. :
