Order of Nosferat - The Absence of Grace LP

Black Wax

Now that nuanced / atmospheric shift fully blooms with The Absence of Grace, ORDER OF NOSFERAT's fifth full-length. Utilizing a unique production style - crisp and cutting but somehow brittle, exceptionally ethereal in its effect - the duo here move a more measured pace, patiently doling out their emotive marches with both misery and mania, somehow sounding dead and incensed simultaneously. Whilst moving within the vampiric black metal idiom, it's an unapologetically sorrowful canvas on which they paint - "bloody tears" staining everything, to invoke Castlevania - poignantly illustrating the titular The Absence of Grace. ORDER OF NOSFERAT's characteristic moonlit synths brilliantly shine here, moving to the fore and melding seamlessly with their cresting & cathartic riffing. All the sadness and nostalgia that the duo have created so prolifically the past four years comes to a climax with The Absence of Grace! Where that cursed coffin ship sails next, only ORDER OF NOSFERAT know...
