Lutomysl - Le reniement de Saint-Pierre [2010]



Distinguishing himself from more prominent Ukrainian black metal bands like Drudkh, Lutomysl avoids the typical wall-of-sound atmosphere in order to make way for some phenomenal melodies. Having released eight albums over the past thirteen years without ever growing bland or redundant, it's a shame that he has failed to accrue fans outside of black metal's small, dedicated niche. Le reniement de Saint-Pierre, the towering, penultimate track off his self-titled release, features tortured, Russian shrieks over relentless blastbeats and some stunning tremolo riffs that essentially carry the song.
