Kallathon is a guy, not a band, and is part of the elusive Black Twilight Circle of absolutely mesmerizing Black Metal bands from Southern California. Before Drifting Into The Abyss is Kallathon's first tape and it is as great as Black Metal can be. So far the BTC hasn't failed. Essential kvlt materials.
These songs are great. I hope he puts together a full length soon. Hypnotic void drifting fun.
ReplyDeletepossibly one of the best BT releases, along with the Volahn album. The climax of the second song is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you posted this..finally hearing it! Bought this and more from their label last fall and still haven't got it... anyone else having the same luck?
ReplyDeleteI once ordered from them and it took a long fucking time but the stuff did arrive and there was a bunch of extras thrown in.
ReplyDeletecool thank you
ReplyDeletegreat album! I can also attest that with the exception of the stuff released last october (BHL, odz, gloss) all my CN orders have been slow, however always does come through, usually first press, and often with other freebies, patches etc. patience is certainly a virtue
ReplyDeleteessential indeed. "as the sky fell i left you behind" tells quite a story. it evokes a grim and beautiful one in my head, anyway.
ReplyDeleteCall-a-thon
ReplyDeleteThis, along with Arizmenda and the Tukaaria stuff have to be my favorite of the "circle." All tapes have this weird atmosphere to them for sure...
ReplyDeleteIt's finally not hotter than hell here in Tejas. Thank the Lord!!!!! Time for some evil/cold sounds. Muchos Gracias!!!!
