Style: Black metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: A truly sinister foray into the black metal realm
Thoughts: I picked this one up without hearing it. It came highly recommended from the guys over at Meteor Gem and they have excellent taste so I went for it. Needless to say their streak of excellent recommendations remains in tact.
The brand of black metal that Parfaxitas has on hand is rather intense. The riffs have a razor sharp edge to them that pierce the air without mercy... and they never let up. Even when the music slows down the music doesn't get less intense, it merely gets more ominous.
All six tracks have this quality, and it translates to an incredible album. The members of this group are all experienced veterans in the black metal field and the end result here shows. Each of the tracks are so meticulously crafted that this album had to take quite some time to write. The balance of harmony and dissonance is also to be commended, it's a rare balance that Parfaxitas strikes here.
I don't think I've spent nearly enough time with Weaver of the Black Moon. Even after spinning it multiple times I still feel like there is more to look into and digest from these six songs. This is easily an album that could grow into one of the best of the year, I just need to spend some more time with it so that I can truly relish in it's riches.
