Homecoming's March

Review: Balancing their own mixture of influences from the black metal canon, Averse Sefira are part of the continuing voice of development through hypnotic and evil yet melodic avantgarde metal in the style of later Darkthrone or Mayhem. As an unobtrusive yet intelligent return to the roots of black metal this album also flourishes a lexicon of thrash and hardcore-derived directions which continue the obscure minimalism afforded by nihilistic composition. This forces an attention to structure and core artistic contents, which in this case are the midlength adventurer melodies crafted by this band for their first album.


Tracklist:
1. Hymns To The Scourge of Heaven (8:28)
2. For We Have Always Been (7:49)
3. Sentinel's Plight (12:47)
4. Pax Dei (8:04)
5. Above the Firmaments Of Wrath (6:23)
6. Ad Infinitum (6:42)
7. Homecoming's March (13:45)

Tetragrammatical Astygmata

Review: In one school of thought, there is no history but a series of cycles by which localized entities go from better to best, much as species evolve to fit their habitat and then dissolve in extinction. With the latest album from Averse Sefira, the Texan band have sidestepped the temptation to make a "new" form of black metal, and have instead returned it to the primitive hybrid state from which both death and black metal emerged, yet in a highly advanced form: matching the unconstrained dark emotions

of Norwegian black metal with the systemic design of American death metal bands.

In the gestalt of such a mixture, songs begin with dissonant dirges and dissipate, synthesizing direction with a sequence of paired riffs that gesticulate offhandedly at a resolution that then occurs in inversion, a fission of formative genesis that reiterates itself from conclusion to origin. A t this point, the song has been a melodic version of the rigidly logical riffs of a Morbid Angel or Slayer, but now expands into a seething harmonization that titrates the sonorous ambient riffs (fast strumming, slow chord change, mid-paced cadence) that allowed bands like Immortal and Gorgoroth to counterpoint fury with a contemplative moribund arbitration of instinct toward life and predation. In the use of pulsating split arpeggiated power chord progressions played off against half-speed resolutions, one can observe the better influences of later blackmetal, namely Antaeus and Deathspell Omega (and Graveland).

Tracklist:

1. Introduction (0:49)
2. Detonation (5:31)
3. Cremation of Ideologies (5:50)
4. Hierophant Disgorging (5:18)
5. Plagabraha (3:10)
6. Helix in Audience (8:13)
7. Mana Anima (6:32)
8. Decapitation of Sigils (4:53)
9. Transitive Annihilation (5:06)
10. Sonance Inumberate (5:16)

Battle's Clarion

Review: In resplendence of wanderlust measured by wisdom, Averse Sefira create a force that rejects the gravities of existence with concepts of transcendent beings rising through conviction and honor in worlds of degenerating souls. It is at once sonorous sensibility between notes ascending and barraging through dissonance and turbulent, disturbed percussion; battering diatribe of joining of sound varying dynamic throughout lengthy pieces expressing a lyrical ideal in their song construction; searing antipleasant tonal progressions in songs defined by their melodic chorus structures.

More direct than the roaming spatial melodies of "Homecoming's March" and hearkening to the whipping scream of the triumphant demo from this band, in this work two groups of narratives sequence tales of the evolution of transcendent beings and their descent into hell. Fantasy rises within the literality of music that, while showing its heritage in American music, aspires to the musical strength of the greatest of European bands (before said heroes sold out). Emotion is encoded within theme underscored by a palette of coloring in harmony, like a demented resilient unrelenting soundtrack, as memes hinted in shadowy motions interspersed separate to become forces of vital change.

Tracklist:
1. Battle's Clarion
2. Condemned to Glory
3. Withering, the Storm...
4. Deathymn
5. The Nascent Ones (The Age of Geburah)
6. Argument Obscura
7. The Thousand Aeon Stare
8. Fallen Beneath the Earth
9. ...Ablaze
