Pushing the boundaries of black metal towards the esoteric, The Ruins of Beverast made major waves in the underground with 2017’s Exuvia. Cyclical and tribal, the album plays like a drum circle of the damned meets a hurricane. Wandering from the eye to the spiraling storm, the melodic guitars move from a droning trance to a war-like pace and take the listener to an ancient skirmish. The almost meditative points in the album keep the feel as native instruments take the atmosphere towards the Mayan side. Expressive and bestial, this primitive album takes no shortness on production, allowing you to hear the layers of depth put into this monolith known as “Exuvia”.

For fans of: Bølzer, Blut Aus Nord, Lurker of Chalice
