Achatius

by Funereal Presence

Achatius cover art

Operating as the solo project of Negative Plane drummer Bestial Devotion, this album is a masterclass in feral, old-school black metal. Infusing raw, thrash-heavy riffing with bizarre, almost medieval acoustic instrumentation and prominent cowbell, it stands as a remarkably strange and highly creative underground triumph. The record revels in an arcane, unpolished atmosphere entirely distinct from modern extreme metal trends.
