Tara

Tara cover art

Driven by the dizzyingly fast percussion and occult vision of Proscriptor McGovern, 'Tara' stands as a pinnacle of American black/thrash metal. The concept album delves deep into Celtic mythology and arcane mysticism, matching its complex lyrical themes with highly technical, hyper-aggressive riffing. The relentless pace and labyrinthine song structures result in a manic, fiercely individualistic extreme metal landmark.
