The Sorcerer’s Sorrow, by Anachitis

The Sorcerer’s Sorrow

by Anachitis

supported by

doomvs87 This album blows me away with it's detail to atmosphere, raw emotion, melody, and grim character. I am very surprised at how well thought out the song compositions are. The mixing evokes an immersion that is just perfect.

H.L. This is a modern post black metal album with desperate screams and melancholic clean vocals. As I prefer spheric keyboard layers in terms of atmosphere instead of the modern clear "cling-clong-clings" like in the opener "Athamé of Flame", it takes a while for me to dive really into the atmosphere of this dark piece of music, but songs like "Drowned in the Spring of Life" or "The sleepless Eye" are really fine dark art. Favorite track: The Sleepless Eye.

about

Anachitis was an occult divination stone used in antiquity, believed to be a raw diamond used to communicate with spirits in water. This is the name picked by Uada founding member and guitarist James Sloan for his solo project, a kaleidoscopic black metal creature deeply rooted in the depressive black metal sounds of the Nineties.
The Sorcerer’s Sorrow is Anachitis very debut, where obscure, minimal
synths pave the way for obsessive guitar riffs and desperate shrieks
recounting a tale of despair and self destruction. In Sloan’s words, “There is an underlying story here being told backwards of someone who desperately seeks answers to escape the pain of existence through esoteric practices, but finds nothing but a path to total self destruction”.
Far from being a monodimensional work,in addition to its classic
foundations The Sorcerer’s Sorrow unveils a plethora of ideas and
influences, with melodic breaks, atmospheric openings and inspired solos, a trademark of Sloan’s work with his main band. The Sorcerer’s Sorrow hence becomes more than the sum of its parts, a perfect snap-shot of the artist’s inner turmoil, as “the record shifts between very dark disturbing moods, to moments that are much more nostalgic and beautiful feeling, the small glimpses of hope that are the same in life, moments that make the painful realizations hurt so much worse”.

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

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
