Bölzer: Aura

“Bark at the moon”
Bölzer is a Swiss black/death metal duo who has released a 3-tracker with original music that totally grabbed me by the balls from note one. I seldom go apeshit over black metal releases, but once in a while I just have to give in for quality stuff. Inquisition’s latest release was one of them, and this isn’t very unlike them in a way. Very organic music with a big focus on riffs that talks to your primordial inner instincts. The guitars speaks to your soul with notes written in genetic code, like in some ancient language lingering in your subconsciousness, dwelling, lurking and waiting to be evoked once again when the time is right. That time is now, so prepare for the bolt of dark lightning that is about to strike you (Bölzer literally means: powerful force, force of chaos, chaotic strike).
Three tracks with atmospheric, chanting riffing, wolf howls and almost shaman-like drums that builds up a hype for a full length album, that I hope will come our way very soon. Keep an eye (or both) on this duo! I’m not lying. Check out their Bandcamp site here. …that “Entranced By The Wolfshook” tune is fucken fantastic.
9/10: Prepare to be struck by the bolt of dark lightning.
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
