IGNIS GEHENNA Rites Of Transvaluation Digipak EP (2020)

Australian black metal doesn't get talked about enough. Ignis Gehenna are here to fix that.

Hailing from this country's increasingly formidable underground, Ignis Gehenna deal in the kind of black metal that treats atmosphere as a weapon, dense, cold, and deliberate. Rites of Transvaluation landed in 2020 as a gatefold digipak EP, a format choice that signals they're serious about the whole package, sound and object both. The title alone tells you where their heads are at philosophically. This is music for the dark aesthetic end of the metal spectrum, the kind that has more in common with Deathspell Omega's precision than anything trend-chasing. Support Australian underground metal.

Format: EP length gatefold digipak CD. Released 2020. Origin: Australia. Genre: black metal. Fans of: Deathspell Omega, Watain, Acherontas.
