Today’s review is of Costa Rican Depressive Black Metal band Black Whispers’ new album.
This release incorporates the desperate and raw elements that are necessary for a good full-length of this subgenre, and it combines them with some occasional Avant-Garde touches that make it all the more curious, while never quite abandoning the wretched and hopeless ambience created, simply adding some more depth to it.
These elements are only occasional, and most of the album is performed in your common DSBM way, adding some acoustic and piano parts between the tremolo picked passages of wailing to assure a deprivation of solace to the listener throughout their negative soundscape. Perhaps being most comparable to Leviathan, the band incorporates some form of subtle melody that scorns from its beauty the vast misery from the songs. My personal highlights are “Castle Of Self-destruction” and “Disappointment”.
I recommend this album to fans of DSBM. My rating is of 8,5/10.
