The second demo from mysterious Swiss group Clavus is just one song long, clocking in at just over 9 minutes. There is a lot to like here: terrifying background synth and wretched indistinguishable shrieks contribute to a mélange of musical madness. Hopefully a future release can expand on this idea.
Totuuden Polku by Deceiver Legion
Finnish group Deceiver Legion deliver a classic frostbitten black metal sound with enough surprises to warrant at least a second spin. Totuuden Polku is not carrying a load of innovation, but surprising injections of down-tuned riffs and excellent vocal performances by Wragnr help this train churn well beyond the station of mediocrity.
