Progressive Black Metal is just for categorizing, because Extreme Metal Art can be defined in tons of ways. But this is exactly that kind of music EMANCER celebrates on their fifth longplayer. Twilight And Randomness is all other that an usual Black Metal album. Twilight And Randomness carries an artist’s signature. The Black Metal with its typical trademarks is used as a bearing element: the characteristic vocals can as be heard as swift as an arrow drumming and riffing. But like a picture this release captivates with the application of different colors and shadings. Absolutely remarkable the complexity is EMANCER deal with. I heard that kind of stuff from Opeth at least. As a musical influence they are responsible for the progressive impact on Twilight And Randomness. The accretion of breaks, harmonies and melodies by the use of electronic sounds amongst others create the artistic facet, and coming with it the downright successful symbiosis with the extreme Metal. EMANCER could be the new blood of Satyricon’s and Opeth’s wedding. At present the band name is presented by three guys. For tour activities the Norwegians have to resort to sensible alternatives; Gorbag and Helstein share the screamed and clean vocals, Mithrin as third one is the all-instruments-talent. A very good all-rounder other bands would like to have among their own people. If he, the artist behind, who is solely responsible for the song writing, would be sunshiny there I venture to doubt. His heart and soul is released in digipack format already – a must have for all open-minded listeners!
