wurmphlegm this shit is amazing. it's probably one of the best super bands when it comes to black metal. Favorite track: Towards the Dying Moon.

bmurator Avant-garde / Atmospheric Black Metal from Finland. This is beautifully intense & with some fantastic riffs! There are several layers to peal back before you can really appreciate everything - but it is very rewarding when you do! Recommended! Favorite track: Spectral Katharsis.

H.L. "Spectral Katharsis" is a wild, melodic and rousing black metal album. There is so much energy in catchy anthems like the opener "Towards the Dying Moon", "The Servant's Heart or the title-track that it is really difficult not to move any bodypart. Great! Favorite track: The Servant's Heart.

about

Olio Tähtien Takana is one of the artistic expressions of Finnish multi-instrumentalist v-KhaoZ (Vargrav, Druadan Forest and many others), here joined in his artistic endeavour by singer Hellwind Inferion (Desolate Shrine, Sargeist).

Spectral Katharsis is the third album by Olio Tähtien Takana, and is described by Hellwind with a series of key terms: “Cosmic, majestic misanthropy and ultimate devil worship”. Expect fury, rage and patterns of keyboards to surround you and bring you on your journey through the cosmos.

On the musical side of things, v-KhaoZ says: “We wanted something different than our other bands, a more straightforward, yet melodic approach. To this we added a varied singing style and otherworldly, space-like keyboards, to reach the multidimensionality we were aiming for”. Spectral Katharsis will tickle fans of Limbonic Art, Odium and the mid-’90s symphonic black metal scene.

The band's very name is probably the best expression to describe what v.KhaoZ and Hellwind Inferion are trying to accomplish with their collaboration, as Olio Tähtien Takana is Finnish for 'A Creature Beyond the Stars'.

Iris
by Altars of Grief

supported by 111 fans who also own “Spectral Katharsis”

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard... kowaikage2

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 109 fans who also own “Spectral Katharsis”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert
