Slightly less off the wall than The Drunk and the Endless. Serpent and Sodom is a journey into a world of summers ending, occultism, and the power of "sin". Lo-fi Neofolk/neoclassical blend the ilk of Sol Invictus and Agalloch's neofolk material.

So back in '09 I told you that Avulse might not release anything after Granted but Grace from this World, fuck me right? If anything, don't expect GbGftW: Part 2. To start, its a much darker album, without being more abrasive. Musically, it roots itself again in the punk/d-beat/black metal hybrid, moving away from the earlier releases of bestial black metal.

This is Melting Snow Reveals Our Blood, the rarest Intra Tenebrae release, through Darkness Shade Records . It was released on ultra limited cassette (8 copies) and sold to a select few people in the UKBM scene.
This is our first recording, we released it as a split tape with anchor rites from brooklyn, but i don't have their side of the split but its mostly just our demo anyway. We actually were a two-piece when we recorded this and are now working on becoming a three-piece so hopefully we'll be able to make more stuff in the near future and further develop our sound.
Our songs are also on www.stereokiller.com/drudgery in case you wanna listen to them before you spend time downloading it.
This is a nice release. It has some nice melodic passages, has a very powerful presence, and can do some great things. Just get a better snare sound.
Decent raw black metal from New Jersey. There is some pretty good riffage here, and its not a single monotone beat.
