Virgin Womb of Eternal Black Terror

by Dai-Ichi / Lamp of Murmuur

supported by

Spectral Void One of those rare splits of complete consistency and quality!

Pauline Zipser This split deserves a beer. Or maybe a hearty glass of red wine. Complementary artists making skin freezing tunes. Favorite track: A Pathway of Sigils for the Dead.

Andrew Neighbours Two great acts but these Lamp Of Murmuur tracks just hit differently. Probably my favourite tunes from him. Favorite track: Curse of Silent Thunder.

about

BLNR011

Though similar sides of the proverbial coin, the duo of the obscure dai-ichi and equally mysterious Lamp of Murmuur, present distant ends of the ever-expanding raw black metal spectrum on the impending Virgin Womb of Eternal Black Terror.

From parts unknown (though aesthetics point to Japan), dai-ichi's brand of harsh, uncompromising black metal presents itself in a minimal, bludgeoning manner. Riffs are king here and ideas flow out one after another in disjointed bliss. You don’t need to think when listening to dai-ichi. Their expressionistic dynamic is pure lizard-brain, gut-punching mania. Given the band’s stance on not providing any statements, one must wonder what this band’s process is, or at least how they maintain control over their uninhibited music with such relaxed mastery. Should black metal have a personality, dai-ichi would undoubtedly be the id: unbridled and animalistic.

Lamp of Murmuur’s take on black metal activates a different part of the brain. Though just as ferocious as his split partners, Lamp of Murmuur offers something more complex; a perfect foil to dai-ichi’s unrestrained anger. Though Lamp of Murmuur’s chops are undeniable and previously presented on previous releases, it is incredible to see the level of musicianship found within. The mysterious M. has previously lifted the veil on his process, the fact that this music is partially improvised (or at least “automatic”) makes the lore built around this project all the more compelling. Listen to a pre-release stream of Lamp of Murmuur’s "Curse of Silent Thunder" from their split with dai-ichi below.

Though both are examples of raw black metal, the dai-ichi and Lamp of Murmuur split offers a multifaceted view of this increasingly popular style. Through dai-ichi’s controlled-but-manic pummel and Lamp of Murmuur’s honed improvisation and careful construction raw black metal reveals its many, varying faces.
