Portuguese raw black metal band Black Cilice will release on the 1st of July via Iron Bonehead Productions the highly anticipated sixth album, Esoteric Atavism. Arguably the most pivotal raw black metal entity of the last decade, this Portuguese enigma has come to both define and defy that idiom. Unmindful of the present, not looking to the future, and undoubtedly rooted in the past, Black Cilice simply is, and its vast body of work speaks for itself: challenging, for sure, but transportative and transcendental beyond compare.
While Black Cilice is esoteric in the extreme, more so is the entity atavistic, and indeed are those energies the cornerstone of this record. Characteristically coated in miles of miasmic rawness that's an instrument unto itself, the lyrics of Esoteric Atavism delve into the old - old energies, old spiritually - and the music follows suit by reconstituting elements from elder Black Cilice recordings.
Time is irrelevant to Black Cilice. Past, present, future...all are absorbed into the band's singular blackout/whiteout swell of sound, and only the NOW exists. Truly, this is Esoteric Atavism. Begin engaging with that atavism with the brand-new track "Channelling Old Power". Link
