THRALL "Aokigahara Jukai" CD

Tasmanian Black Metal band THRALL have recorded their third studio album as a conceptual exploration of themes relating to the suicide forest (Aokigahara Jukai). On "Aokigahara Jukai", THRALL successfully articulates misanthropy without hypocrisy, blending traditional Black Metal elements with Doom, Death Metal and Crust influences. The trajectory of the album takes the listener on an unrelenting, furious, void-ward journey from the opening track to the final deathlike strains of emptiness. Coupled with the artworks aesthetic qualities of smothering detail, “Aokigahara Jukai” is an immensely compelling document of unrivalled intensity and vision.
