TYRANNIC Ethereal Sepulchre CD 2018

Australian black metal has never needed anyone's permission, and Tyrannic are proof. While the northern hemisphere gatekeepers were busy debating orthodoxy, this Sydney outfit were quietly building one of the more singular sounds in the local underground.

Ethereal Sepulchre is a full-length that earns its title, dense and disorienting in the way that the best Australian black metal tends to be, drawing comparisons to PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS and KAFIRUN but ultimately doing its own thing. There's a DREAM DEATH quality to the slower passages, doom-soaked and deliberate, before the record tears itself back open. Limited to 500 copies, this is the kind of record the Melbourne and Sydney underground quietly circulates until it's gone. If you've been sleeping on Australian black metal, Tyrannic is a sharp place to wake up.
