That huge, distorted, groaning sound is an an almost ever-present backdrop in the songs, and it amplifies the musicвЂ™s aura of cataclysmic doom even when the band are slashing ahead in a full-on rampage.В And the vocalistвЂ™s caustic howls and abrasiveВ growls further enhance the musicвЂ™s vicious ugliness.Д«arghest do rampaging very well, but thatвЂ™s not all they do. When the riffs arenвЂ™t swarming or galloping, they moan and growl like some subterranean leviathan. They have also added to the sound in a way that makes this EP a standout in the genre.ДЄmong other things, theyвЂ™ve made the music even more hellish, heavily distorting the music and makingВ the grinding low end of the sound tremendously powerful, so that the songs sound like they were recorded in a cyclone - during an earthquake. On Into Weeping Firmament, Barghest wholly embrace the core of ferocity in black metal.

They have to find a way of adding ingredients, or at least making subtle changes in the expected template. Their challenge, if they want to stand out from the great mass of groups who are still riding the вЂњsecond waveвЂќ of black metal, is something like the opposite of the вЂњblackeningвЂќ process used by other bands whose music is more on the outskirts of traditional black metal. On the other hand, there are bands who embrace that ferocity as the core of their sound - their music isnвЂ™t вЂњblackenedвЂќ, itвЂ™s just black. And I think that explains at least some, if not most, of the reasons why so many current bands are вЂњblackeningвЂќ their sound. You combine those elements with other musical styles, and you can create contrasts, or simply give a song an aura of extremity that it might otherwise lack.

Putting to one side the Luciferian purists (without meaning to dismiss them), my own sense is that many musicians who play black metal or incorporate elements of it into their music are drawn to its ferocity - the feeling of fury and chaos (or simply reptilian threat) generated by whirring tremolo chords, blasting drums, and acidic shrieks. So many bands have borrowed those aspects of the sound (or some of them) and joined them together with other musical styles that вЂњblack metalвЂќ (or вЂњblackened metalвЂќ), as I think most people understand the terms, has evolved intoВ perhaps the most diverse and multi-faceted of all the genres of extreme metal. Instead, they define black metal by the presence of certain specific musical elementsВ and/or by a certain emotional resonance that those ingredientsВ produce. There are certainly fans and musicians who believe that black metal must be defined by the specific spiritual beliefs that inspire it and by the communion (or chaos) that it must help bring about: If it is not a genuine means of practicing Luciferian and Promethean ideals, then it does not merit the name - it is instead some kind of fraudulent posturing.Д«ut many more people donвЂ™t embrace (or perhaps donвЂ™t understand) such rigid criteria. We live in an age when black metal has become a diffuse genre of music. But even though the music strikes with the force of a hurricane, thereвЂ™s more to it than simply shock and awe - as IвЂ™ll explain after a digression. All sorts of other metaphors come to mind - and IвЂ™ll probably use all of them - but what they have in common is the sense of being caught up by some force of nature that youвЂ™re far too small and frail to withstand - or to resist. From the obliteratingВ drum assault in the opening seconds of the first song it seizes the listenerвЂ™sВ throat in an iron grip and never lets go.

Into Weeping Firmament, the new EP by Barghest from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is simply overpowering.
