Formed in 2006 in Val di Susa, Piedmont, Italy, Enisum became internationally renowned with their fourth album Arpitanian Lands, a majestic Cascadian black metal album released in 2015 through Dukstone. The follow-up to that album is Seasons of Desolation, which continues on path traced by the previous album, but at the same time exploring new solutions and expanding the band's soundscape. In particular, the Italian band intensified the use of both male and female clean vocals and the production is top-notch. As always, Enisum's music is full of emotions and atmospheres and you will echoes of Wolves in the Throne Room. Perhaps the only weakness is that the album is at time somewhat overly mawkish and cloying, such as in “Dead Star”, but overall Seasons of Desolation is a wonderful album.
 
Notes:
Seasons of Desolation was released on april 22 2017 on Avantgarde Music, produced by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Bosse de Nage etc) at The Atomic Garden Studio.
The project name comes from Musinè mountain in Val di Susa.
Since the touring activity after Arpitanian Lands  became more and more demanding, founding vocalist/guitarist Lys - who was solely in charge for writing and recording their very early albums - consolidated Enisum's lineup by adding members Dead Soul (perhaps Italy's best black metal drummer at the moment), bassist Leynir, and female vocalist Epheliin.
 
Personnel:
Lys: Guitars, Vocals
Leynir: Bass
Dead Soul: Drums
Epheliin: Vocals (female)
