Aldheorte - The Wild Divine

Black Metal from Los Angeles, California, US

1. Vanity 2. The Wild Divine 3. Ouroboros 4. Building Shrines to Vermin 5. Prayers to Fallen Gods 6. Hesperus 7. The Offering

An album that balances raging blasts with mournful melody, covering a wide swath of black metal's history, but anchoring it in the here and now. Atmospheric and melodic, furious and blasphemous, 'The Wild Divine' endeavors to show you just how much black metal at its most devout already offers, rather than allowing the sound to grow so far from its roots that it becomes unrecognizable.
