Review by Sonny for Grimah - Intricacies of Bowed Wisdom (2020)

This is the debut album from spanish black metal trio Grimah, featuring five tracks and a brief intro spanning 43 minutes. Thematically it's dense lyrics deal with nihilism and existential acceptance. Musically it takes the form of aggressive, yet fairly melodic black metal that verges on atmo-black at times (closer Péndulo de Agonía y Desdén for example). The vocals are atypical for a lot of black metal, being less shrieking screams and more like vicious barks. It is energetic and quite exhilharating, considering the subject matter and I'm interested to see where these guys go from here.
