Këkht Aräkh: Pale Swordsman -- ALBUM REVIEW

Welcome to the official J Morris the Review Guy album review for the second studio length album by one metal Ukranian black metal project Këkht Aräkh, entitled Pale Swordsman!

Album genre type: Black metal, lo-fi black metal, melancholic black metal.

The first record on Livor Mortis to come out of Crying Orc's canon, this melancholic take on black metal will dazzle many of those that've become sick of the current scene and wish for a more genuine take on the past. If that sounds like you, you will be VERY happy to find out that Pale Swordsman is an organic and very natural revival. I would not be shocked to find out this record was from the 90's Norwegian scene.
While it has a bite that is more than familiar at times, it's archaic and legendary and olden. The wintry atmosphere is incredible.
While it is not the best thing you will hear this year, it is up there as one of the greatest records black metal has to offer this year, without a doubt.

This album is available now on Livor Mortis!

My favorite songs on this album are:
Thorns - In the Garden - Nocturne - And the Stars - Lily - Crystal.

My least favorite songs on this album are:
Swordsman

I was expecting this release after hearing his debut album, and it managed to live up to the hype. It's like some kind of romantic Darkthrone.

[tonyeckman]

Great and intelligent critique. I've been cranking this nonstop as of late.

[Rain_power]

Nice review. I’ve really enjoyed this record and have found it’s simple at face value, but the more I listen to it the more details I uncover. The lyrics are also really fantastic, coming off as very direct, honest, and beautifully poetic.

[SeedOilFitnessOfficial]

Its a concept DSBM album about a Vampire who wants to commit Sui basically

[mordantrhed]

Good review and yes this band has also surprised me.

[thomasr]

I'm not usually a Black Metal--or any type of Metal--fan, but I personally loved the album. One of the few ones I've listened to multiple times, particularly because of the more melancholic tones you mentioned. Kind of reminds me of some Dungeon Synth I've listened to.

[michaelpurnell]

I’ve been hearing some good things about this, I definitely gotta listen to it

[Club-Dreamiverse]

Cool review as usual. Also, Hasbro's about to sell eOne's music business.

[elwolf]

Love this album listened to it everyday since April

[Sergio-nbhj]

The main edge the first one had over this one was the mixing imo, but the songwriting is still on point

[a.r.i.a]

I thought it was great, i was listening to horna or something like that an this got Autoplayed, i really enjoyed it I also think it's a 8/10 maybe a 8.5 .

[leigonveteran]

this album is more prog black metal tbh, pianos and clear vocals
