Review of SRD - Vragvmesiton / On Parole Productions

SRD is back after four years with "Vragvmesiton," their third full-length album that dives deep into the realms of black metal. The title itself might seem cryptic, but it speaks volumes about the eternal struggle between our desires and our rationality, chaos versus order, and the constant battle between our earthly selves and our higher aspirations.

"Vragvmesiton" is a blend of traditional black metal with experimental elements. SRD isn't afraid to push BM boundaries, incorporating chants, wordplay, and even their unique Slovenian dialect into the mix. The result is a rich and immersive audial experience that transports listeners to a different realm altogether.

The vocals on this album are particularly noteworthy, delivered with a prophetic fervor that adds a whole new layer of intensity. Each track feels like a chapter in an ancient saga, weaving tales of temptation, rebellion, and spiritual transcendence.

While rooted in the raw energy of black metal, "Vragvmesiton" isn't afraid to take detours into uncharted territories. The music oscillates between slow, brooding passages and moments of frenetic intensity, creating a dynamic listening experience that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

"Vragvmesiton" is a challenging yet rewarding journey for fans of black metal and anyone who appreciates music that dares to explore the boundaries of convention. Dive in, and let the dark, hypnotic allure of "Vragvmesiton" envelop you.
