Selbst - DESPONDENCY CHORD PROGRESSIONS - Blue/Black Smoke Vinyl LP (staff pick!)
BBV Direct Import - Debemur Morti Productions. Staff Pick! We've only listened to it this week for the first time and WOW! With all of the releases lately, this one takes the cake. AOTY contender - though it will be a very tough year to choose it seems.
Gatefold 12" LP
Comes with a download card. Pressed on transparent blue with black smoke heavy vinyl. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
"Despondency Chord Progressions", the aptly-titled and movingly dynamic third album from SELBST, finds the Latin American Black Metal band deepening, clarifying and confidently channelling the dark waters of their already elaborate sound.
Following the bludgeoning restlessness of DMP debut, 2020's "Relatos De Angustia", the band here steps forward with a fully-fledged sense of purpose - balancing introspection and anger via beautifully flowing arrangements brimming with impassioned melodies.
