IGNIS GEHENNA - Rites of Transvaluation CD

Tasmania doesn't get enough credit. While the mainland was busy discovering post-punk, the island was quietly producing some of the most unhinged black metal in the southern hemisphere, and Ignis Gehenna is proof.

Rites of Transvaluation is raw, atmospheric, and philosophically hostile in the way only serious black metal manages, drawing a direct line from the Norwegian second wave into something that feels genuinely Australian in its isolation and spite. If you've been working through Mgła's discography and need somewhere darker to go, or you think Gorgoroth's early records deserve a warmer climate, this is your next move. Australian black metal this committed to the craft deserves a place in your collection.

CD format. Australian release, Tasmanian origin.
