Reviews list for Cinereous Rain - I (2020)
Cinerous Rain are German multi-instrumentalist Eugen Kohl and Ecuadorian lyricist and vocalist David Freire who are both veterans of a huge number of metal projects. This is a seriously heavy album of atmospheric blackened death metal. It's buzzing, atmo-black riffing is wrought into a savage beast by alloying it with the undeniable brutality of death metal. The vocals are vicious-sounding muted shrieks, although the lyrics are a mystery, even the tracks names are merely roman numerals, so no clue there. This is a moot point however, the atmosphere is everything here and the atmosphere is incendiary. An impressive debut and I hope to hear a lot more from these guys.
