KATHAARIA "To Be Shunned By All... As Centres Of Pestilence" [12" LP, Black Vinyl, Gatefold]
2022 - Black Metal from Austria
Detailed Description
To be shunned by all...as centres of Pestilence, the sophomore album of Germany's Kathaaria, took fourteen years to manifest. In 2008, when EAL released the band's debut, we were proud to support an act that wasn't musically predictable. Perhaps the guitarwork hinted somewhat towards the most forward-thinking acts of the time, and a general affinity for the weird. In any case, the record was deeply personal and entirely unaffiliated with any currents or trends. Black Metal done by people who know their metal but refuse to abide by conventions. In a nutshell, this blatant disregard for norms and expectations is precisely what "To be shunned by all...as centres of Pestilence" is about. It's an album that falls into no fixed category besides the one reserved for highly personal takes on Black Metal.
