52. Advent Sorrow – “Kali Yuga Crown”

Australian Black Metal with very evident industrial influences. Having the synth so high in the mix and the fact that vocalist Rhys Kings has such a dominant vocal style means that, to these ears, they come across as Rammstein does Black Metal. The songs here are bold and chunky, with big searing riffs and lots and lots of flourishing symphonic. Apparently they have their eyes firmly on the European market and “Kali Yuga Crown” is a fine calling card for what they are capable of.
