Slovenian black metal outfit Srd streams its third full-length, vragvmesiton, scheduled for release on 19 April via On Parole Productions.
After four years of silence since its last release, Srd spawns its third full-length, baptised as vragvmesiton. The naming itself, undoubtedly unfamiliar to a foreigner, pays no homage to a native either. While coinage is theirs alone and, for that matter, translation into lingua franca of our time too difficult to bother, the idea within - which is that of temptations and limitations of flesh in a feud with a reason yet transcendence of the spirit; that of chaos opposed to order and form; that of Dionysian against Apollonian; that of abhorred standing against divine - is familiar to us all.
While the core aesthetic is still that of Srd, music and prophet-like vocal utterance convey a different dimension: from wordplays and chants to the use of Slovenian unique north-eastern dialect, not fearing instrumental experimentations, although still accompanied by a slow-paced rock'n'rollish black metal. Safe paths lean onto unsafe and untested territories, similar to the contrasting idea within - such are also the aesthetic conflicts of vragvmesiton.
Some days after the album's release, the band will, in support of it, embark on a European tour. Link
