LURING's cult second album.
Making their public demo in 2018 with the Interitu Caret Devotione ad Coronam Satanas demo, LURING have slowly-yet-assuredly become one of the most exciting developments in American black metal of recent years. Theirs is a stridently classicist form that doesn't point toward preceding idioms too obviously nor overly, and they proved as much with last year's Victory Fires Ablaze Under the Banner of Lucifer full-length debut and the proceeding Triumphant Fall of the Malignant Christ earlier this year.
The latter was only available digitally and on tape, and now IRON BONEHEAD steps forward to release LURING's second album on a wider scale. Mystical and indeed malignant, Triumphant Fall of the Malignant Christ weaves a black magickal spell rife with rippling physicality as well as otherworldly texture. Shimmering atmosphere floats above and below just-raw-enough melodicism that surges and spirals with rabid intent. One could variously point contemporaneously early Abigor and Gorgoroth as equally as turn-of-the-millennium Nocternity and Lunar Aurora - but LURING are an aptly monikered horde, and those aesthetic signposts merely serve as springboards for a still-unfolding creativity that manages to mesmerize with alluring elan.
Formats: CD and vinyl LP.
