Black vinyl with gatefold cover

Swedish black death veterans Thulcandra are back. Since itsfoundation in 2003 by Steffen Kummerer (mastermind of Obscura), theband has worked with genre greats such as musician and producer V.Santura (Woodshed Studios, Triptykon, Dark Fortress, Celtic Frost).A Dying Wish is the bands fourth studio album after six years ofsilence and it was produced, mixed and mastered at Unisound Studioby the renowned Dan Swanö. It’s again a journey back in time to theorigins of the genre, as it was musically and visually shaped bybands like Dissection, Entombed, Sacramentum and Unanimated. On ADying Wish the four-piece around Steffen Kummerer once again drawsthe listener into dark and cold soundscapes. This is also reflectedby the icy-blue cover artwork as on their previous albums (FallenAngel’s Dominion [2010], Under a Frozen Sun [2011], Ascension Lost[2015]). Opener Funeral Pyre swiftly showcases clear direction: acalm intro is followed by freezing riffs, grim growls and powerfuldrums. Thulcandra spans a dark arc between acoustic interludes andharsh death metal parts. The quiet interlude In Bleak Misery leadsinto A Shining Abyss, which instantly pulls the listener down withrich blast beats. Dramatic riffing and the growls of SteffenKummerer create dark and dense walls of sound, leading into quiet,but no less atmospheric parts. Stormy up-tempo tracks likeSilvering Silver and Devouring Darkness offer strong leads, drivingriffs and engaging drums that keep tension at a high level.Thulcandra create a special accent with Nocturnal Heresy byincorporating doom metal passages into their ice-cold storm. ADying Wish is a detailed album that combines clashing guitars andepic mid-tempo moments with discreet acoustic guitars and rapidoutbursts to create a versatile and rich sound. It’s an homage toclassic extreme metal, performed at an inarguable technicallyproficient level, keeping the tradition of Jon Nötveidt’sDissection sound alive and worthy.
