Ritual of transition

by Do Skonu

supported by

sashavonkarl74 Blown away by this new release by Ukraine's "Do Skonu" (До Скону). If I got it right, this will also be their last release, and going out with a huge bang, I'd say!! Makes me sad but at the same time also happy that I just could add such a gem here! Top-notch melodic black metal, crystal clear, well produced, immersive and yet aggressive, with the help of Gionata Potenti's great drumming (Darvaza). Will need to check back catalogue asap... Favorite track: The Great original limit (gateway to the new universe).

about

This, the final work of prolific Do Skonu, is an intricated and intriguing piece of pure black metal. A is a relentless work of riff-genius and a masterclass in songwriting. Overall faster and more complex than previous albums, with no room for unnecessary experimentation or one-dimensional parts, and each song with its own unique characteristics.

With a sharper sound and more violent production compared to the previous "...and darkness was over the surface of the deep" (Zazen Sounds 2023), which tends more to a heavier death metal sound. But most significantly are the layers of riffs and webs of song structures, making this album stand in Do Skonu's discography with head and shoulders above its precursors. This is rightfully an exit at the bands' high point.

Drums on this album by G. Potenti (Blut Aus Nord, Macabre Omen, Nocternity, Darvaza, etc). Comes with 12 page booklet with all lyrics, original art, etc.
