A Grey Chill And A Whisper

by Beltez

supported by

Frances Derr This album ground my soul into dust.

Ippocalyptica Beltez have gone and done it - they have called into question my top five AOTY rankings, and unless some major surprise releases are dropped before year’s end (where are you at, Thy Darkened Shade?), then A Grey Chill And A Whisper is probably going to take 2020’s crown. This is some of the most compelling, dynamic, and captivating black metal that I have heard in years, and it satisfies intellectually and emotionally in equal measure. We may not deserve Beltez, but we sure need them. Favorite track: I May Be Damned But At Least I’ve Found You.

1st Turning Styx Fuck this is good. Hits every BM sweet spot there is to hit and a few you didn’t know you had. Don’t sleep on this one. Favorite track: I May Be Damned But At Least I’ve Found You.

about

A Grey Chill And A Whisper is an expanded vision of contemporary black metal by the German band Beltez. The album is based on an original short story, Black Banners, written exclusively for the band by German writer Ulrike Serowy (Skogtatt).
A Grey Chill And A Whisper is Beltez successor of the highly acclaimed record Exiled, Punished…Rejected and deals with despair, hopelessness, but also courage and strength. This wide emotional range is conveyed through haunting melodies, gripping shrieks and pounding drums into a dense, sinister and very moody piece of dark art music. The result is a monolithic entity that frightens as much as it allures.
A Grey Chill And A Whisper provides just enough room for the listener to briefly gasp for air amidst its overpowering walls of sound and is an unforgettable journey into a dark and desperate world, which is presented in the accompanying audio book, spoken by Dan Capp of Wintherfylleth (GB) and Corinne Henderson with an introduction by Evan Hunt of Metaltower (NZ) and is backed by original music from Beltez.
With A Grey Chill And A Whisper Beltez shows again what artistic freedom could mean in Black Metal, yet without denying the roots of the genre. This results in a melodic and yet brutal and sinister black metal album, reminiscent of elements of death metal as well as of post-metal.

Never has a cover matched the music so perfectly. Truly spectral music. Rarely have vocal harmonies sent a shiver down my spine like this. And just KILLER battle riffs. pinkytheent

Great album as a whole. I love the feelings and atmosphere it evokes, windswept autumn winter landscapes - frozen tundra's and forests. Especially great during these winter lockdown days! PadraigC

So calming and meditative, like falling into sweet melancholic sensory deprivation state. The album is a lonely black lake and its massive murky, super slow tides sucks you into its transcendential multi-dimensional core. This is beautiful high-class art. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
