about

Following the success of 2021’s A Material God, and shows at Roadburn Redux 2020 and LADLO fest 2021, Dutch progressive black metal act Wesenwille returns with its third album without skipping a beat. Stare into The Great Light Above - an eclectic mix of dissonant aggression, captivating grooves and introspective atmospheres. Tthis album explores the limits of dissonance and unconventional song structures. For fans of black dredge in the vein of Deathspell Omega, Svartidauði and Misþyrming.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 10 fans who also own “III: The Great Light Above”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

Sól án varma
by Sól án varma

supported by 10 fans who also own “III: The Great Light Above”

the best distilling of Icelandic black metal to date and has a haunting atmosphere. Dreadful but also uplifting at the same time. 10/10 album will strongly recommend for fans of atmospheric metal. mothmanterik

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 10 fans who also own “III: The Great Light Above”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
