Iron Bonehead Productions announces 15 October as the international release date for Orgrel's striking debut album, Red Dragon's Invocation, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Only yesterday, the band's brand new track "Burning Ruins" was released and it awaits you in the player below.
A band literally out of time, Orgrel hail from Italy and, more importantly, hail the ancient days of black metal - the days too often forgotten, in the late 90s, when labels like Solistitium, Sombre, and Drakkar began releasing obsidian gems during the genre's post-sensationalism fallout. Rich with righteous fury and triumph alike, the power-trio deliver their first public recording, the full-length Red Dragon's Invocation. Immediately, mystical splendour and dizzying delirium are felt as Orgrel kick in with an impassioned surge, each and every riff, rhythm, and holler stirring bloodlust and wonder/wander simultaneously. The sound field is studiously raw yet robust, flat but somehow full, allowing aggression and atmosphere equal reign, and engrossing the listener to the very last: indeed, Red Dragon's Invocation is summarily titled. Its mysteries are starkly simple but exceedingly sublime, being purely and totally black metal in word and deed; black metal doesn't need to "become" anything when it already is. Orgrel knows this intrinsic truth and pursues it to the hilt across their debut album.
Graced with absolutely stunning cover artwork by Luciana Nedelea, Orgrel raise their sword of truth and prepares to strike unbelievers with the Red Dragon's Invocation. Link
