Austere - The Stillness of Dissolution - VINYL LP

With their fifth album InchThe Stillness of DissolutionInch, Austere embark on a dark journey that leads through the abyss of time, the inevitable return of order to chaos into the black void. In the words of the poet everything that arises is worth that it perishes. The new album brings an overall blacker feel to their sound. This slight change of course does not constitute an easy nostalgic return to the old days as Austere remain within the framework of the more mature and defined version of their particular style of depressive black metal, which reflects their greater experience and evolution as artists. Austere arose from a solo-project run by multi-instrumentalist and singer Desolate alias Mitchell Keepin who joined forces with drummer, keyboard player, and vocalist Sorrow aka Tim Yatras in 2005. Signature frost-bitten guitars, alongside high-pitched screams and wails marked Austere's debut album InchWithering Illusions and DesolationInch (2007). The sophomore album InchTo Lay like Old AshesInch followed in 2009 and still featured a raw sound but with a refined production. At this point in time, both musicians decided to focus on other projects and Austere went into hibernation until the duo reformed in 2021. The number of followers had only grown during their absence through word of mouth. Austere are back in black with InchThe Stillness of DissolutionInch, yet the Australians also keep all the subtle shades of grey that turn the ongoing evolution of their music into a thrilling experience of new sonic spaces of dark matter.
