Once again we enter the world of occultism with Irkallian Oracle, Swedish black / death meal band from Gothenburg active since 2012. After the debut album Grave Ekstasis, the band released the sophomore album Apollyon in 2016 receiving a good response from the critics. Apollyon achieves its effect by dragging the listener down into the most abysmal depths of subconscious oblivion. Imagine drone downtuned guitars, obsessive riffs, and generally slow tempos; the recording is not very clean, though, but this increases the abysmal effect of the whole. As a result Apollyon is solid but not for all ears.
Notes:
Apollyon was released on February 22 2016 through Nuclear War Now! Productions.
Accordingly, the band does not have a stable lineup and each member contributes in different ways and in different times.
Personnel
Radiating Abyss: Various
Mind-Blinding Void: Various
Tomb Sun: Various
Transplutonian Afterbirth: Various
Murder Divine: Various
Nightmare Fukk: Various
